The Design
The HAC Bag and the Birkin Bag are like twins because there are so many parts that are similar. However, the HAC is also known as high handle because the handles are quite tall. Not only that, the shape of the bag is taller too. The top front features the famous cross over flap and the iconic turn lock closure, which is reinforced with a lock and chic tag.Without a doubt, the HAC Bag is a piece of Hermes’s history. The bag is also not easy to find, because its limited in supply and the demand is as high as the Birkin Bag. The price between the HAC and the Birkin Bag are not that much of a different.Hermes HAC Bag versus Birkin Bag
