What's the largest Birkin there is?

[millivanilli]

I like that HAC 60 cm. As I do not think that a 40 cm B is heavy at all, I guess this will be my next bag.

I know this is a very old thread, but I found it too, so someone else might as well. I recently obtained a Hermes Birkin HAC 60, and it is the largest size available. It is not as heavy as you would expect it to be, that said it is made in box leather and I‘m not sure if that makes it less heavy by any chance. It was made in 1987 and the condition is extremely good for its age, no scratched corners, no stains, almost no indentions.
Heres a picture for you to get a grip on the size:

Congratulations for finding this rare unicorn

Congratulations Anthropolo, great travel bag and I'm sure quite rare these days.

Posted at the wrong place. My phone is stupid. Sorry.

A few years ago I saw a gentleman in Neiman Marcus with a 60 black box Birkin. I assumed it was a special order.

I like large bags. Can you use it as carryon?

Well, it is a 60cm and only 55 are allowed on public aircrafts. Maybe you could cheat your way through when it seems smaller on you than it actually is. I haven‘t tried yet.

The Genevieve Fontan book, Memoires de Sacs Hermes 1, gives 60 cm HACs available at least from 1953 up to 1965 also with picture from 1980.

Size 60cm Birkins are listed at launch in 1984.

A word of warning, the depth of the base is more or less half the width, so as the size increases the floor of the bag gets proportionately larger, so unless you are reasonably tall with longish arms you might find the base of a HAC will bang into your legs when you carry it.
I'm 5'10" and have a HAC 45 which is OK, but I was aware of it at first.

Here are two pictures of my HAC50:
- first one beside my LV Pegase 45
- second on me; I am 1,83m tall and about 80 kg at that time
