If you're an individual with a love for luxury and a preference to um, abnormally large bags, then it's safe to say that the Birkin Haut à Courroies is the one for you. Carefully crafted from the finest of leather, it's no wonder why the Birkin is one of the most sought after handbags in the world. Unknown to the majority of the world, the HAC is actually the original Birkin, created by Émile-Maurice Hermès in 1892 after taking inspiration from Argentinian cowboys while on a trip in South America. The Kelly and Birkin bag we all know and love actually drew inspiration from the HAC, even though it's the least popular model. The ideal travel bag for those with loves for luxury, the HAC bag is spacious enough to hold every single thing you need. Seriously. Literally anything. A small person could definitely be packed inside - and yes, we know this because we tried it ourselves. A primary example of fashion and function, is there really another bag on this earth to offer this much space and this much luxury? There isn't is there. To say the least, the Birkin is simply iconic, hence why it's been deemed the "holy grail" of handbags. It's the ultimate must-have for any handbag enthusiast and quite frankly, no luxury collection (especially a travel one in the HAC's case) is complete without one.
