HERMÈS, 2016

The horseshoe stamp is a mythical icon for Hermès collectors. A piece with this symbol is a custom creation, made to the specifications of a serious collector. A Horseshoe Constance is quite an unusual and coveted piece for a handbag collector. The Constance bag was designed by Catherine Chaillet for Hermès over fifty years ago, and legend has it the first piece left the factory the same day that Madame Chaillet’s fifth child was born – a daughter named Constance. For half of a century, the Constance bag has adorned stylish fans such as Jackie O. This sophisticated and striking iteration is rendered in Bleu de Malte Ostrich — an heirloom piece for an exotic collector.
