Oversized HAC Birkins can overwhelm even seasoned collectors, but on Haaland's 6-foot-4 frame, they look surprisingly well proportioned.

After a 28-year wait, Norway finally returned to the FIFA World Cup. Led by Erling Haaland, the Nordic side reached the quarterfinals before falling 2–1 to England. Although their dream of lifting the trophy came to an end, Haaland has continued making headlines. This time, however, the spotlight isn't on his goals or blistering pace, but on his luxury collection—particularly his handbags.
According to Vogue, fans have even nicknamed the Norwegian striker a "Birkin connoisseur" because he is almost always seen traveling with rare Hermès designs. Many of the bags in his collection have either been discontinued or were produced in extremely limited numbers.
Oversized HAC Birkins can intimidate many because of their imposing size, yet on Haaland's 6-foot-4 frame, they somehow look perfectly proportioned. Perhaps that's why nearly every trip the Norwegian striker takes is accompanied by a different version of the HAC Birkin.
Beyond these oversized travel bags, Haaland has also been spotted carrying Hermès clutches and even wearing the House's signature Chypre sandals. And with an estimated fortune of more than €200 million, it's perhaps no surprise that he chose a Kelly Himalaya as a gift for his girlfriend, Isabel.

<h2>Hermès HAC Birkin 50 Endless Road</h2>

Among the rarest pieces in Haaland's collection is the Hermès HAC Birkin 50 Endless Road. This limited-edition design reimagines the Haut à Courroies (HAC), Hermès' original travel bag, through intricate leather marquetry and hand embroidery. Across its surface, carefully arranged panels of leather depict a road stretching endlessly through the landscape—an image that inspired the bag's name, Endless Road. On the secondary market, the design has sold for as much as $45,500. Haaland owns two colorways, Pearl Grey and Peacock Blue. Both are crafted from Togo calfskin and finished with palladium hardware. Measuring approximately 50 centimeters across, the HAC Birkin 50 is also the largest bag in Hermès' Birkin family.

On social media, Haaland has shared a vintage-inspired look reminiscent of the 1970s, paired with the Evercalf Toile Cargo HAC 40. The bag combines natural Toile canvas with black leather trim and palladium hardware. The contrast between canvas and leather softens the visual weight typically associated with an all-leather Birkin. The HAC 40 retains the tall, slender proportions that define the Haut à Courroies line. Before becoming one of Hermès' most sought-after collector's pieces, the design was originally created to carry riding boots and saddles during long journeys.

Unlike many celebrities who carry luxury accessories through endorsement deals, Haaland is not an ambassador for any handbag brand. Most of the bags in his wardrobe were purchased himself. Among them is the Hermès HAC Birkin Multipockets, one of the French house's most coveted limited editions.
Crafted from black Togo calfskin with palladium hardware, the bag's multiple exterior pockets give it a noticeably more utilitarian character while preserving the original Haut à Courroies silhouette. The workwear-inspired details contrast with the meticulous craftsmanship reflected in every stitch, fold, and proportion—hallmarks of Hermès.
At 50 centimeters, it is also one of the rarest HAC models to appear on the secondary market. Yet when Haaland carries it, people seem far more interested in discussing the bag than wondering what he actually keeps inside.

The HAC Cargo feels like the meeting point between the understated character of the Toile and the practicality of the Multipockets. This version combines navy Toile canvas with black Box Calf leather and palladium hardware. Box pockets, a card holder, and even a removable cup holder are integrated naturally into the design. Originally developed by Hermès for everyday use, it has ultimately become a collector's piece admired less for its functionality than for its rarity.

Among the many interpretations of the Haut à Courroies, the HAC Birkin Rock is perhaps the boldest. Black Volupto calfskin, palladium hardware, and the classic HAC silhouette come together in a design that carries a subtle rock-inspired edge while retaining the elegance that defines the bag.
Its most striking feature is the Chaîne d'Ancre chain running across the front. Under Hermès' hand, the nautical-inspired metal motif becomes a jewel-like detail that embraces the bag without overwhelming the HAC's slender proportions. Beneath its bold exterior remain the House's uncompromising standards, from the hand stitching to the precisely finished goatskin lining.
At 40 centimeters, the HAC Birkin Rock balances two qualities that rarely coexist: it is spacious enough for travel while remaining rare enough to be highly sought after by collectors.
