Hermès began dabbling in the creation of metallic bags back in the 1990s, crafting several unique pieces primarily for the illustrious window displays of their flagship store in Paris, under the creative direction of Leila Menchari. However, these early iterations, made from Agneau Lambskin, proved too fragile for commercial retail. Undeterred, Hermès forged ahead, refining their technique over the following years. In 2005, they unveiled an exceedingly limited collection of Metallic Chevre leather bags in Gold, Silver, and Bronze, triumphing over the initial challenges. Among these, the metallic Gold 18cm Constance stands out as the rarest variant of this legendary shoulder bag. Its aesthetic appeal is elevated by the congruous gold hardware that pairs flawlessly with the metallic sheen of the bag. This unique lustre is the result of painstakingly layering multiple applications of metallic pigment on the leather. However, this treatment is known to wear off with extensive use, leaving its mark on the bag's look. Remarkably, this particular specimen shows no such signs of use, preserving its exceptional condition. This resilient trait further underlines its rarity and heightens its desirability among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 – Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold Metallic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeather:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevre\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 15 x 5 cm | 7\" x 6\" x 2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaneFinds Collector's Insight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.
