Mou birkin

Don't think it exists. Mou kelly yes, Mou Birkin, no. But a 40cm Birkin in a floopy leather like swift or clemence will eventually be mou 
In the last le Monde, there was a "Travel" HAC. It was a 50 cm. It was constructed with aluminum hardware. The leather escapes me right now, but it was folded on top of itself. Maybe it is considered a mou, too.

It is in Togo, lined in toile. It is on display at the NY Madison Ave store for men. I'll try to snap a picture of the window. They would not take it from the window for me to feel how light it is
The mou purses can be collapsed for traveling, at least that's what I've always thought. I don't think just the term floppy as in any leather that is slouchy qualifies as a mou. For example, the Kelly flat is sellier stitched but can be folded. I know there are mou bolides and mou kellys other than the flat that are considered mou but a mou birkin would be news to me (and I'm always open to new news!).
Did it look to be 50 cm? Togo seems a bit heavy, but the toile lining lightens its weight by half. I just checked the le Monde again. Anodized aluminum to lighten it's parts. They should only make all their bags have an option like this to (1) lighten the bag and (2) heaven forbid lighten it's price?
digression:
there is a Mou bolide(50cm??) w/ contrast stitching @ H/Mad, it's been there since spring, after the intro of the Kelly Relax .. the leather is swift ..

so is mou like a sagging speedy, but in the shape of a birkin???? god it would sound so cool yet at the same time, weird.... could you post pics so we can all see....
There is an old thread about the mou purses complete with a picture of one of our members who demostrated how easily her mou kelly collapsed. She took the eraser tip of a pencil and while the bag was on its back, she pushed the eraser tip on the bottom and the bag folded. My guess is the interior support of mous are different as in lacking something akin to interfacing in a garment that would add some degree of stiffness/support in specific areas such as parts of a collar or down the front placket where the button holes are sewn.
Ok, I snapped a couple of pics on the way to work of the HAC on the window of the men's store on Madison Av. It did look like a 50cm. The aluminum hardware looked interesting. It is hard to tell how slouchy it truly is, as they most likely stuffed it with something...
I wonder what the price of the bag is... they will probably charge the same as a regular HAC claiming it's the labor not the raw materials that drive the cost?

Here you go, a huge HAC needs a blow-up. Thanks, Valmont for the photos!
When I think of it, I'll get the le Monde and scan the page. Just a lazy BBL today.
