Here is the bag that completes Hermès’ Holy Trinity: the famous Constance. Created in 1959 by Catherine Chaillet, the Constance embodies Hermès’ artisanal expertise and prestige. Considering the decade in which it was designed—a time when the elegant and classic Kelly was in the spotlight—the bag conceived by Catherine remains remarkably modern even today. With its clean, minimalist lines, long adjustable shoulder strap, and iconic “H” clasp, it is both practical and elegant. Its name also carries a beautiful story: Catherine Chaillet designed the bag while pregnant and gave birth on the day of its release to a little girl named Constance. She decided to name the bag after her daughter—the Constance bag was born. As Hermès describes it, this is a timeless and elegant bag, designed to be passed from mother to daughter. This flap bag is often seen as a refined yet relatively understated model compared to the Kelly and Birkin. The Constance achieved immediate success, notably with the influence of personalities such as Jackie Kennedy, who helped elevate it to it-bag status in the 1960s and 70s. Although the bag has over 60 years of history, it remains one of Hermès’ most desired pieces, its style simply timeless. It continues to inspire other major fashion houses. Like all Hermès bags, the Constance is handcrafted, and its availability in boutiques is limited—sometimes impossible depending on the rarity of the leather—making acquiring a Constance particularly exclusive. In summary, the Constance transcends generations without losing its charm; it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a timeless work of art, and a worthy investment. This particular model is a Constance 24 from 1999, a vintage piece in very good condition, with a stunning color.
