Hi again, keen to get some of your opinions on the ultrapla belt bag (good and bad). I can’t stop thinking about it even though it is probably super impractical being so slim. I love the strap and buckle of the belt bag style so I’m not that interested in the messenger/bandouliere versions.

I prefer the Cityslide for this purpose since you can actually put stuff in it, and it's the same price range


There is also the Cityback belt bag which is a bit more expensive than the Cityslide, but unfortunately it only comes in epsom which one either hates or loves

Thanks!

I really wanted to like the cityslide but I fell in love with the leather strap on the ultrapla. I think the price point for the cityslide is even better and I haven’t completely written it off yet. it is a bit generic looking for a belt bag though. I will definitely try it out once restrictions are lifted.

The cityback looks great, bit bulky but also, yes I’m one of the unlucky few who have had issues with Epsom. My Calvi in Epsom started peeling after 2 weeks of use. Hopefully they continue this line with other leathers

Does anyone know if HAC 40’s are easier to come by in Europe than they were 4-5 years ago? just wondering if post-covid they are on display and sold as normal bags like Evelyne or garden party? TIA

I'm in the EU but I don't know the current state of HAC 40 availability, although I did see this on the shelf at the Sèvres store last August (pic from an IG reseller). Didn't ask if it was available to be purchased or for display only.

Hey! How are you? I saw you got your plume 40 finally! In such a beautiful leather too. I’m on the search for a canvas HAC 40 and hoping I find one in Europe this autumn!

I'm good. thanks and yes, finally. I have my Plume 40 after envying your bag for many years. lol

in case you're going to be in Paris, and you don't find the HAC you're looking for from the H stores, there's one available from Collector Square. It's about 3000 eur more expensive than retail, though.

Oh wow! That is the exact piece I’m hoping to find. I saw it in a interview virgil abloh did and he mentioned he purchased this same bag and I fell in love with it. However, I think it’s more than 4000 euros more than retail? isnt the HAC 8950? I don’t want to pay more than retail so I’m gonna test my luck! i heard from a friend that HaC’s are easier to buy since everyone is gravitating towards smaller bags and HAC’s are so damn heavy! Wish me luck!

lol no. HAC 40 last year before the price increase was already 9600€ (togo), so it's probably around 10k now.

naomi campbell also has this HAC so I guess the best of luck to you

To bring this thread back on track, here's a guy who loves his combo HAC 40's

Really? Who cares? this is the only ongoing thread for men and hermes and has basically functioned as a catch-all hermes thread for us for years.

Title's the title.

Start a new thread for Men's Q&A if you want. More than one more. Men don't need to have only one thread. They can space themselves out. It's a men's Hermès Forum too.

I mean, can't you just change the title then? This thread doesn't get enough traffic to warrant splitting it into two. And all the other men's threads are pretty generic catch-alls (Fendi Fellas, Dudes & their Diors, etc)
