Anyone heard about HAC ceasing production?

[castorny]

The 40 HAC was definitely available at podium this past July. The handbag based on this design came after the Birkin, didn't it?

The 45 HAC was discontinued, but the 50 HAC is still in production.

thanks dear. I think about it with the same frequency and intensity as I do with my future (although unknown) boyfriend.

Allanrvj -- you are TOO CUTE.

I must admit I am not sure and can't now find the source where I thought I recalled reading this, but I thought Hermes modified the HAC into a handbag by making smaller sizes than the original saddlery design (as a former equestrian myself, frankly I can't imagine that even a 40cm HAC is viable for this purpose - I would think one needs 45cm or larger), and then further modified it into what is now the Birkin?

oh, and it's relevant to this topic because it's a 40 cm HAC.

Allan you are so funny!!

I think you are correct. The HAC morphed into the slightly more casual Birkin.

It may be limited to places where the HAC is not too popular. It's available in Paris, and also available to order even now.

LS, I rem it's only for S/S09 that they would be temporarily stopping production but it would come back. Especially so that it's the original Birkin.

But, that shouldn't stop you from your decision if you have fallen in love with what you are eyeing now rt my dear?

Sending you lots of positive vibes for HAC and BF alike - may both dreamboats come your way really, really soon!

Thanks a lot ladies. I'm a hopelessly romantic homo...

Now, back to the HAC.

 

[pluiee]

bump! does anyone know if this is still true? are HACs no longer available to order?

 

[JustinCredible]

My local store had a HAC40 last time I went in (a few weeks back) and also a different one a few months ago. So I would presume that they are available.

 

[kelly girl]

i was recently told by my sa it wasn't possible to special order a HAC. there may be some travel sizes in us boutiques.

 

[ms piggy]

I think anything smaller than 40cm is still not possible.

 

[LittleH]

ms piggy is this recent? I SO'd a HAC 32 in January 2009 and got it in October.

 

[ms piggy]

LittleH, I should have been more clear, anything below 40cm is via SO only. Thanks!
