Created in 1959, the Hermès Constance is instantly recognizable by its large "H" clasp. Compact, structured and elegant, it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody thanks to its adjustable strap, which makes it one of the most practical Hermès bags.
Sizes
- Constance Mini (18): the most popular size today, perfect for essentials and evenings.
- Constance 24: a larger size with more room for everyday use.
- Constance Long Wallet and To Go: wallet-on-strap versions for a minimal carry.
Leathers and hardware
Epsom is the most common leather, keeping the bag's crisp shape. Box calf, Swift and exotics such as lizard and crocodile make for truly special pieces. The H clasp comes in gold, palladium and other finishes.
Why choose a Constance?
- Hands-free elegance with a shoulder strap.
- A distinctive, iconic clasp.
- Easier to find than a Birkin or Kelly, but just as refined.
