Hermes Crocodile HAC

Dec 11, 2008 / Posted in Hermes Handbags by Megs Mahoney Dusil.

We have a treat for your eyes! Hermes has become ubiquitous with the ultimate designer handbags. The luxury associated with Hermes is known worldwide, continues throughout the years and seasons, and transcends across generations. My collection of Hermes bags is small, but includes all Holy Grail bags for me; a Blue Jean Birkin, a Kelly Wallet in Orange Alligator, and my stunning white Kelly Longue. Next on my wishlist from the brand is a travel size bag. Something big, something to take for weekend trips, something reminiscent of what the brand is known for but offering a new shape to my collection. Top of my list is the Haut A Courroies, better known to the masses as the HAC. And the ultimate HAC from Hermes would be the crocodile HAC that was at Christie’s.

The rare dark red crocodile Hermes 45cm HAC was made in 1972. The bag was given to Christie’s to be auctioned, and was said to be sold for a reported $40,700. The price was not out of this world, as many Hermes items that are rare may go for much more. The Crocodylus porosus is an exotic staple of the house, highly sought after, highly stunning, and highly priced. Not that going without an exotic version would be settling, but I would settle for a leather HAC that could be used as a travel bag. Find more Hermes items at Christie’s to tantalize your handbag obsession and love. Via Christie’s.

    This one is SO beautiful ! But given the money, I´d still prefer the SF one. I believe that it too will become an investment for future. I´d also have more use for, it due to its size !

    The handbag is beautiful! But is not very chic to kill a crocodile for a handbag, is like if you were carrying this inocent animal with you.

    Sorry, but my inner-editor cannot resist: I think the word you were going for was “synonymous”, not “ubiquitous”.

    Yes the material is gorgeous but top quality croco or alligator is always breath taking.
    But what about the desing? It’s the same over and over again:
    Kelly and Birkin. A little larger or smaller, change of color or material, yet
    the basic design never changes.
    Neither does the hardware – from gold (plated) to Titanium and any other metal in between, all the way to genuine diamonds.
    I admire Hermes for their invention of the biggest sales pitch ever put to work:
    The Kelly bag created for Grace Kelly was the perfect start to create a market of craving by not satisfying it. In other words, it became more and more difficult to buy it and the WAITING LIST was created.
    And that *craving* and be forced to wait months and months – Well it still works!!!
    Good for Hermes.
