Hermès Constance bags

The Hermès Constance bag is an icon of the French luxury house — defined by its signature ‘H’ clasp and versatile design that moves effortlessly from cross-body to shoulder. The bag was first introduced in 1959, created by designer Catherine Chaillet, who named the bag after her daughter. The Constance gained further prominence when Jackie Kennedy was photographed carrying it, cementing its status as a symbol of luxury. Hermès’s Constance bag is considered one of the house’s ‘Big Three’, alongside the Kelly and Birkin bags. One of the most sought-after iterations is the Constance 18, with limited editions such as Au Bout du Monde and Marble Silk also being particularly rare.
