The story behind the Constance
In 1967, Jean-Louis Dumas asked a designer to create a bag for Hermès; she named it after her newborn daughter, Constance. A structured shoulder bag defined by its H clasp, which opens on a spring mechanism hidden at each side of the bar and serves as both closure and signature. Produced in Mini (18 cm), standard (24 cm) and Élan (approximately 25 cm); a Micro at approximately 14 cm has appeared in limited production runs.
Discover Hermès Constance BagsThe Constance, renowned for its refined proportions and the instantly recognizable ‘H’ clasp, is here transformed into a canvas of cultural memory, fusing the legacy of Hermès with the rebellious spirit of 1960s America.
Drawing inspiration from the countercultural era, Jay Ahr’s intricate embroidery channels the expressive power of tie-dye, a movement rooted in the ideals of peace and protest. Originally adopted by antiwar activists and free spirits, tie-dye became a vibrant emblem of individuality and collective hope. In this bespoke creation, Jay Ahr amplifies that heritage, layering psychedelic patterns across smooth black box calf leather, further accentuated by lustrous gold-plated hardware.
Collector's Insight:
The Constance is produced in significantly smaller quantities than the Birkin or Kelly, making it one of the more difficult Hermès bags to acquire at retail. The 24cm format is particularly scarce.
Resale Insight:
The Constance has emerged as one of the strongest performers in the Hermès resale market, with demand increasingly rivaling the Birkin and Kelly. The 18cm and 24cm sizes in classic colors maintain particularly strong positioning.
