The Hermès HAC à Dos PM Backpack in Fauve Barenia Faubourg is a contemporary, utilitarian interpretation of the house’s oldest travel bag, the Haut à Courroies. This “sling” style backpack is designed for versatile urban use, featuring a streamlined profile that can be worn on the back, over the shoulder, or across the chest.
Core Design & Material Construction
-
Material (Barenia Faubourg): A newer, printed version of the classic Barenia calfskin, known for its minuscule, drummed grain that gives it a waxy and velvety hand. It is more supple than traditional Barenia but retains the heritage characteristic of developing a beautiful patina and darkening in exposed areas over time.
-
Color (Fauve): A rich, natural tan shade (Color Code: 34) that is synonymous with Barenia leathers, often accented with contrasting white stitching to highlight the bag’s architectural lines.
-
Hardware: This specific model is finished with Palladium-plated (silver-tone) hardware. This includes the signature oversized Kelly-style turn-lock and the D-rings for the strap.
-
Strap: Features a wide, adjustable canvas shoulder strap with leather detailing, designed for comfort during active wear.
