Privé Porter’s Guide To: Inside Erling Haaland’s Unexpected Hermès Era
When people think of football stars and luxury, they usually imagine watches first.
Erling Haaland appears to be making a different case.
Across recent appearances and photos shared online, the striker has quietly built what may be one of the more interesting modern Hermès wardrobes we’ve seen from an athlete: less classic collector, more “if I’m doing Hermès, I’m doing the strange pieces.”
And honestly?
Respect.

Not Your Typical First Birkin
There’s something interesting happening here.
No endless parade of Gold Togo.
No obvious quota-bag flexing.
Instead, the pieces associated with Haaland lean directional, oversized, playful, and heavily design driven.
Which somehow feels exactly right.

The HAC Endless Road
Possibly the most conversation starting piece of the group.
The HAC Endless Road turns travel into artwork, with layered landscape style panels creating movement across the silhouette.

It feels more like carrying a painting than carrying a bag.
Unexpectedly sporty.
Unexpectedly Hermès.
And oddly perfect for someone whose life is airports, training grounds, and movement.

The Birkin HAC Rock
Then there’s the piece collectors immediately clocked.
The HAC Rock.
Part biker jacket, part Birkin, complete with exterior zip details, pockets, and hardware that completely changes the language of the silhouette.

Hermès making something rebellious still feels slightly illegal.
Which is probably why people love it.

Toile HAC Energy
One of our favorite moments may actually be the quieter one.

The HAC in toile with leather trim proves something collectors already know:
Sometimes scale is the luxury.
There’s something incredibly confident about carrying a large Hermès bag and making it feel completely normal.

Multipockets
The collection doesn’t stop at travel pieces.

Structured shapes, utility inspired pockets, oversized proportions.
Less boardroom.
More modern uniform.
The through line here isn’t rarity.
It’s personality.

Our Take
While everyone else debates whether men are finally entering Hermès…
some already did.
And they skipped straight to the interesting bags.
