While tournament headlines are traditionally dominated by tactical disputes and goalscoring metrics, Haaland’s arrival at various North American host cities has captured the attention of the fashion industry. Unlike the classic, smaller Birkin handbags favoured by traditional lifestyle collectors, the Manchester City forward has focused on oversized HAC models.
The HAC silhouette predates the standard Birkin and was originally engineered by Hermès for equestrian travel, making its substantial proportions a practical fit for the 6ft 4in striker during international transit.
