Hermès Constance 18 Graphite Matte Alligator Gold Hardware
Hermès Constance 18 Graphite Matte Alligator Gold Hardware
Hermès is celebrated for its masterful use of color, with Graphite standing out as one of its most enduring neutrals. This smoky, charcoal-toned grey was first introduced in the 1990s and quickly became a collector favorite for its versatility and understated elegance. In matte alligator, the tone takes on a soft, velvety sheen—sophisticated, subtle, and quietly powerful.
This Constance 18, a 2021 (Z stamp) edition, is a pristine example of the house’s exotic savoir-faire. The symmetrical scales of matte Alligator mississippiensis are paired with gleaming gold hardware and the signature ‘H’ clasp—an iconic combination of timeless structure and modern edge. Originally designed in 1959 by Catherine Chaillet and named after her newborn daughter, the Constance has long been a favorite of style icons including Jacqueline Kennedy.
Worn crossbody or over the shoulder via its signature adjustable strap, the Constance 18 is both elegant and functional. This piece comes store-fresh with full set and CITES, ready to anchor any world-class collection.
