Privé Porter’s Guide To: Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns Just Made the HAC 50 the It Bag of the Season
For years, the fashion world obsessed over Mini Kellys and Birkin 25s.
But recently?
The pendulum has started swinging back toward something bigger. 👜✈️
And few bags represent that shift better than the Hermès HAC 50 in Vache Naturelle and Toile Canvas recently carried by Karl-Anthony Towns alongside fiancée Jordyn Woods.
While Karl-Anthony Towns continues leading the New York Knicks on the court, his off-court style has quietly become just as interesting to luxury collectors.
And this Hermès moment proves exactly why.
The Bag: Hermès HAC 50 Vache Naturelle & Toile Canvas
The Haut à Courroies, better known as the HAC, is one of the most important bags in Hermès history.
In fact, the Birkin itself was inspired by the HAC.
Long before the Birkin became the world's most recognizable handbag, the HAC served as Hermès' original equestrian and travel bag.
Its proportions are taller.
Its silhouette is more dramatic.
Its presence is impossible to ignore.
And at 50 centimeters, this version is unapologetically large.
The combination of:
- Vache Naturelle leather
- Toile canvas panels
- classic travel proportions
creates a bag that feels both luxurious and functional.
It's exactly the type of Hermès collectors have increasingly been gravitating toward.
Why Canvas Hermès Is Having a Moment
For years, collectors focused heavily on all-leather Birkins and Kellys.
Today, canvas combinations are experiencing a major resurgence.
The appeal is obvious:
- lighter weight
- easier travel
- relaxed luxury
- heritage Hermès aesthetic
Toile and leather combinations feel less precious than full leather exotics while still offering the unmistakable craftsmanship Hermès is known for.
The result is luxury that actually looks lived in.
And honestly, that's where fashion is moving again.
Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns Understand Modern Luxury
What makes this sighting especially interesting is how naturally the bag fits their lifestyle.
Jordyn Woods has built a reputation for balancing glamour with wearability.
Meanwhile Karl-Anthony Towns represents a new generation of athletes embracing fashion as part of their personal identity.
Together, their style often feels:
- elevated
- effortless
- travel-oriented
- luxury without excess
Which is exactly the energy a HAC 50 delivers.
This isn't a bag chosen to sit on a shelf.
It's a bag chosen to move.
The Return of the Big Bag
Fashion always moves in cycles.
After years of micro bags dominating headlines, larger silhouettes are quietly making a comeback.
We're seeing renewed enthusiasm for:
- HAC bags
- travel Birkins
- oversized totes
- weekend bags
- heritage Hermès pieces
Collectors are rediscovering what made these designs so desirable in the first place.
Utility.
Presence.
And timelessness.
The HAC 50 checks all three boxes.
The Privé Porter Perspective
At Privé Porter, interest in larger Hermès silhouettes has grown substantially over the last several seasons.
Collectors are increasingly asking about:
- HAC bags
- canvas Hermès pieces
- travel-focused Hermès
- heritage silhouettes
- rare men's Hermès styles
because the market is beginning to appreciate the history behind these bags.
And few bags tell the Hermès story better than the HAC.
Karl-Anthony Towns' Vache Naturelle and Toile HAC 50 is a reminder that while Mini Kellys may dominate social media, some of the most interesting Hermès pieces are still the ones built for the journey.
