The Hermès Constance was first introduced in 1959. This Hermès bag has captivated generation after generation of Hermès clients. Thanks to the success of the Hermès Constance, the Maison has been revisiting the style of their classic bag, reinterpreting it for a modern audience. The evolution of the Hermès Constance bag demonstrates the brand's commitment to weaving its traditional DNA into new creations for a modern clientele.

The Hermès Constance is part of Hermès’ “Big Three” handbags: the Hermès Kelly bag, the Hermès Constance bag, and the Hermès Birkin bag. The Hermès Constance bag proudly bears the Maison’s initial on its “H” clasp that secures the bag’s top flap. The Constance was designed by Hermès draftswoman Catherine Chaillet while she was pregnant with her fifth daughter. Chaillet considered the design process a true labor of love, and the artisan decided to bestow the handbag with her daughter’s name, Constance. First Lady Jacquline Kennedy was frequently seen sporting the bag, which helped grow the popularity of the Hermès Constance. It takes an Hermès artisan between 14 - 18 hours to create a Constance Hermès, demonstrating the care that is invested in the exquisite handbag.

Released in 2021, the limited edition Hermès Constance Marble Silk is crafted using a rare silk marbling technique that took the brand years to discover. Nose Moriyoshi, located in Kyoto, Japan, is the only person in the world who knows how to do the silk marbling technique used for the Hermès Marble Silk Constance. This striking Hermès Constance is in Orbis printed silk, trimmed with Rose Mexico Swift leather, and finished with Palladium hardware.
