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 BagsPelouse is a rich, earthy green with mossy undertones from the Hermès vintage palette. The matte finish on the alligator highlights the natural variation in the scale pattern and gives the green pigment a velvety depth without reflective sheen. The iconic H clasp in Palladium provides a cool contrast to the warm green body. At 14 cm, the Micro is the smallest Constance format, worn crossbody on a thin adjustable strap.
Collector's Insight:
The Constance Micro 14 has been largely discontinued, making it available only as a vintage find or rare special reissue. The currently produced Constance Mini is 18 cm. Pelouse is a vintage-era color no longer in the active Hermès palette, and matte alligator in this size and color represents an extremely scarce configuration. The Micro format predates the current wave of miniature bag production.
Resale Insight:
Constance Micro 14 in exotic skin trades at significant premiums due to the discontinued size. Matte alligator in a vintage color like Pelouse narrows the available supply further. Pre-owned examples in excellent condition are the primary source for this specification, as boutique allocation of the Micro format is no longer active.
