The Haut à Courroies is the bag from which the Kelly and the Birkin descend — Hermès' original tall, high-strapped travel design, and the direct ancestor of the house's most famous silhouettes. This HAC 50 sits at the very top of that lineage: a Special Order piece, marked with the Horseshoe Stamp, in a vivid Rouge Vif Togo, and delivered brand new with its complete set and original receipt. It is as rare and as complete as a HAC 50 comes.
HSS — The Horseshoe Stamp (Special Order)
The Horseshoe Stamp (HSS) is Hermès' mark for a commande spéciale — a bespoke Special Order placed by a client and made outside the standard catalogue. Struck beside the blind stamp, the small horseshoe signals that the bag was produced to individual specification rather than as a regular-line piece, which is why HSS bags are made in tiny numbers and are among the most coveted by serious Hermès collectors. On a bag as scarce as the HAC 50, a Special Order execution places this piece in genuinely exceptional territory — as the house itself would put it, one you will not find again.
Rouge Vif & Togo — A Statement Colour on the Grand Format
Rouge Vif is one of Hermès' most striking reds — bright, saturated and confident, the antithesis of a quiet neutral and all the more arresting on the commanding HAC 50 silhouette. Executed in Togo, Hermès' benchmark grained calf, the bag is structured, hard-wearing and substantial in the hand, exactly as the model was conceived. Polished palladium hardware keeps the red cool and modern, and the classic turn-lock, clochette and padlock complete the piece. The Z stamp dates it to 2021.
New, Complete & Accompanied by Its Receipt
This HAC 50 is new and never used — only ever kept in its box. It is supplied as a full set: box, dust bag, protective stickers, clochette (bell), lock and keys, and accompanied by a copy of the original Hermès purchase receipt. For a Special Order piece at this level, that completeness of provenance is as important as the bag itself.
