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 glazed scales give the black depth and shine, and the gold H clasp stands out against it. The strap adjusts for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Collector's Insight:
Verso is a house-specified treatment rather than a special order, and on an exotic Constance 24 it adds a hidden detail that single-color versions lack.
Resale Insight:
On shiny alligator, buyers check the glaze at the corners and around the H clasp for scratches and water marks, and the strap for wear at the attachments.
