Chèvre leather is made from goat skin and is known for its distinctive texture and durability. This leather is lightweight yet strong, making it an ideal choice for a variety of luxury goods, including bags, wallets, and accessories. One of the key features of Chèvre leather is its fine grain and a slight sheen, which can add a touch of elegance and refinement to any item. The leather is also appreciated for its ability to hold color well, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting hues. Its resilience to scratches and general wear and tear makes it a favored choice among luxury leather goods enthusiasts.

The Constance features Hermès' signature H-clasp closure, one of the most recognizable hardware elements in the house's vocabulary. Interior is lined in matching leather with a center divider, front slip pocket, and rear slot pocket. The crossbody strap is adjustable.

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.
