Hermès Constance 18 Craie Epsom Gold Hardware
Hermès Constance 18 Craie Epsom Gold Hardware
Hermès is renowned for its vibrant colors, yet it also offers an impressive selection of neutral hues, including "craie" which translates to "chalk" in French. This sophisticated and characterful shade complements its surroundings without overshadowing them. The unique feature of this particular Hermès Constance bag is the removable mirror. Catherine Chaillet first designed the Constance in 1959 and named it after her fifth child, who was born on the same day that the first Constance left the Hermès production store. The bag features a leather shoulder strap that allows it to hang freely and quickly became a favorite of former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who helped popularize it among Hollywood's elite.
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.

JaneFinds 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 18cm format is particularly scarce.
JaneFinds Market 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.
