Definitely agree on this. When I was offered my Birkin 40, I was also shown the HAC 40. Although it was a gorgeous colour, it felt markedly heavier compared to the Birkin, and the proportions looked off when I carried it, due to the bag being taller height-wise rather than lengthwise.

I really wish there was a bag with the proportions of the Birkin and shorter handles of the HAC. The HAC 50 has better proportions than the HAC 40, but the HAC 50 honestly can really be pulled off by really tall people (aka Hermes's models) because it's so huge.

A bag with Birkin proportions in 45 with the short handles of the HAC would by my dream:).

Would you kindly give a view on the differing proportions of these two styles in 40?

I'm about 5'5-5'6, and I found the HAC 40 far too long, to the point that it looks like it might drag on the ground if I'm not careful.

The proportions looked rather off on me, and it looked more like a travel bag than a tote. It didn't help that the HAC felt much heavier compared to the Birkin.

I definitely preferred the Birkin 40, evidently, since I took the B40 Noir home that day! :)

Posted this in another thread, but here's my 40cm black fjord B made a little more masculine with my Alexander McQueen skeleton attached:

What a nice idea this Alexander McQueen skeleton! I heard from the Paris AMQ boutique that the last one in silver tone is at Milan boutique (only the gold tone version could be purchased via the AMQ website)... Fortunately I finally found one in silver tone at a reseller corner in Paris (Galeries Lafayette). Meanwhile I have identified several websites proposing this charm (e.g. ssense.com).
