On the same quick stop at Hermes when I saw and bought the shearling Chypres, I saw a Biscuit HAC 40 on display. I asked for the price and even tried it on, against my better judgement. I just wanted to see how the Togo HAC would look on me, compared to my wool felt and Evercolor one. OMG I was in love! The softer leather meant the bag had a slimmer profile. I never really appreciated the softened look of the Togo versions, fearing that they would turn into a puddle over time with use. But the curves made by the weight of the leather, which almost has a drape to it, were sublime! It was a pleasure to just touch the bag.

I thought that I would get a Togo HAC 40 one day, maybe after a longer hiatus after getting my first one in October last year. Kind of too soon. Didn't know that the one day was the next day! Couldn't stop thinking about how sublime the Togo was on a bag of this size. My SA told me that the bag was only displayed for about 2 days and several clients expressed interest. It was actually on hold for someone else the day I asked to have it put on hold. Thankfully that client declined when they decided it could not fit in their suitcase. When I was there waiting for my SA, a client inquired about it since she saw it the day before as well, and her SA told her it was sold already. That client ended up putting the Evercolor and wool felt HAC 40 on hold, which was also in stock (the same one that I got in October).

10 days B35 at hand and still can't help myself but to admire it :love:
Flew with it to Chicago for memorial day weekend. It fit a jacket rolled/folded, H Bain small size containing all my bits and pieces, small water bottle, iPad pro 11" and the dust bag. Haven't had the courage to remove the hardware protective film yet :eek:

Gorgeous!

I'm actually really impressed with the hardware protective film that Hermes uses. For most brands, it looks awful to keep the film on because it tends to move around, lift, and form bubbles, but with Hermes, it actually looks fine. It gives the hardware a matte finish, like brushed metal. Clearly I haven't removed the film from the hardware of my two HAC bags yet :amuse:.

Hahaha I take mine out from time to time to just admire its beauty! LOL.

And I’ve only just removed the protective stickers last week!
