For several years, Travis Scott has not only been one of the most influential figures in the hip-hop scene but has also established himself as a style icon. This assertion was recently underscored during Travis Scott’s latest trip to New York City, as noted by GQ magazine.
One notable aspect of the rapper’s attire that caught fans’ attention was his classic Lotto sports shirt. Originally designed in 2009 for the Borussia Mönzhengladbach football club, this shirt was exclusive to the team’s players, making it a rare find.
Paired with black wide-leg trousers, Scott complemented the ensemble with a Chenille S Low baseball cap from Stüssy, a gift from a fan. Rumors suggest that the American rapper later reciprocated by sending the fan a pair of athletic shoes as a token of appreciation.
However, the highlight of this outfit was the oversized Hermès Birkin bag firmly grasped by Travis Scott. Known as the Cargo HAC Birkin, this accessory drew inspiration from military cargo pants and was first introduced in 2020.
The large bag features additional small pockets on the outside, catering to users’ needs. For instance, the small pocket in the bottom left corner can accommodate Airpods. Just above, users can slide in a card into the black leather pocket. Meanwhile, the side pocket of the bag can be detached and used to hold a cup.
In June 2023, a limited edition Cargo HAC Birkin, similar to Travis Scott’s, was auctioned at Christie’s for over four times the estimated price. Initially valued at 10,000-15,000 USD (approximately 243.8-365.7 million VND), the bag concluded the auction at a staggering 40,320 USD (over 983 million VND).
Previously, in 2021, Travis Scott was spotted hitting the streets with the enormous Birkin bag. With its large size, this bag can accommodate a laptop, charger, clothing, or even a small dog.
The design is referred to as Haut à Courroies (abbreviated as HAC) – the first product introduced by Hermès. The fashion house dubs it the “oldest member of the family,” debuting in the early 20th century.
