Sharing with you all my new (to me) HAC 50 in Black Ardennes and GHW.


I bought this piece pre-loved at a very very competitive price and in very good condition. I haven’t seen a deal this good in the grey market. I’m still contemplating on whether to use the clochette and oversized lock it came with or this On the Loop GM Phone Case as a charm.

But I’m not sure about the weight and how soft the leather is. It’s already half full of clothes for an upcoming beach trip and the bag still won’t hold its shape and the heavy lock isn’t helping keep it upright. I might be able to fill it up some more and hope the weight won’t be too heavy as a carry on luggage for a domestic
Major congrats! It’s beautiful...

Here’s my “French man living in Berlin but happens to be on holiday in San Francisco look” featuring a Plume 32 in the rare Rouge H Dwich evercalf leather.

For the record: I’m not French, I don’t live in Berlin and sadly I’m not on holiday but I do live in SF.

Looking fab! Are they bringing the waffle leather back?

You nailed it! Love how you put things together! Fabulous!
 
I like the clasp/lock on these, but I'm afraid I'd break that hinge eventually, even if it is robust =(

They've been making them since 1928, which suggests it should be pretty hard wearing ;) For what it's worth, I find the lock on my full-size SaD Light to be absolutely rock solid - the main clasp feels substantial and there is no give in the hinge. The big risk is opening carelessly and bashing the lock release into the leather behind, which is why you often see older models with a tell-tale dome recess!

That's great to know! I've seen this and similar clasps on new and vintage H bags and love them, but my fear of breaking them usually makes me write them off...this feedback is great. Thank you =)
