Designed by Catherine Chaillet and named after her newborn daughter, the Hermès Constance was an instant hit, so much so that even former First Lady Jackie Kennedy carried it regularly.
The Hermès Constance is part of the brand’s “Holy Trinity” along with the Birkin and Kelly. For decades, it has remained a collector’s favorite.
The Constance comes in leathers like Epsom, Swift, Box calf and exotic skins like alligator and lizard. The “H” clasp can be in palladium, gold or rose gold, and some versions have enamel or exotic skin inlays.
Hermès Constance 18 vs 24
The two most popular Hermès Constance sizes are the 18 and the 24.
Hermès Constance 18 (also called Mini Constance): This size measures around 7” x 6” x 2”. It has 2 compartments and a 20” shoulder strap drop so most women can wear it comfortably across the body. The Mini Constance is perfect for those who prefer a smaller, lighter bag. The updated version has a removable mirror on the front wall.
Hermès Constance 24: Measuring about 9.4” x 6” x 2”. The original C24 has 3 compartments for organization. In 2023, Hermès released the Constance 1-24, which has just one large compartment and a less boxy shape. Both the C24 and 1-24 are the same size and have the same strap drop. If you prefer the classic 3 compartment style, Hermès still offers the original Constance 24.
Beyond the 18 and 24, the Constance also comes in the Constance Elan (25cm) and the Constance Micro (14cm).
How much is the Hermès Constance?
The price of a Hermès Constance 18 on the resale market typically goes for $15,000 to $20,000 depending on the color and material, with Chevre leather versions often around $15,000.
