This example from the early 1980’s features a Toile canvas body and a vintage Hermes branded lining that is only found in bags from this period. The iconic bits are done in Rouge H Box leather with patinated gold hardware. Though lacking the original lock, considering the age of the piece, and its whopping 55cm size, its condition is exceptional. A truly special and exceedingly rare travel Birkin that will stand out in any crowd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oldest member of the family.\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Haut à courroies was Hermès’ firstborn, before the automobile and the taste for travel, at the beginning of the 20th century. Designed by Hermès to protect and transport saddles and riding boots, this ingenious and practical bag made life easier for riders and offered them an early expression of elegance. Its rigid flap folded flat against the rear of the bag creating a wide opening. The two saddle flaps were thus held in place by the straps, as if absorbed by the bag, like a sleight of hand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollection: 1981, K Circle\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"glamy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45261107560527,"sku":null,"price":1870.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6060\/3471\/files\/Hermes-HAC-Birkin-55-Toile-Rouge-H-Box-with-Gold-Hardware-1981-K-Circle_be4b0680-5930-483c-a85b-c75e25572f34.jpg?v=1779128576","url":"https:\/\/glamyforyou.myshopify.com\/products\/hermes-hac-birkin-55-toile-rouge-h-box-with-gold-hardware-1981-k-circle","provider":"Glamyforyou","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
