Hermès Constance Bags

Pre-Owned Hermès Constance Bags in Australia

The Hermès Constance is one of the house's most elegant and recognisable designs. Created in 1959 by Catherine Chaillet, the Constance features the iconic oversized H clasp and a sleek, structured silhouette that works beautifully as a crossbody or shoulder bag.

Constance Sizes

  • Mini Constance 18 — The most coveted size. Compact, chic and perfect for crossbody wear.
  • Constance 24 — The classic size with room for phone, wallet and essentials.
  • Constance Elan — Elongated east-west shape, a rare modern collector's piece.
  • Constance To Go — Wallet-on-chain format for evening or minimal carry.
  • Constance Slim — Belt bag/wallet hybrid, versatile and understated.

Why the Constance?

The Constance is rarer at retail than even the Birkin and Kelly — Hermès produces very limited quantities, making pre-owned the most reliable path to ownership. The bold H clasp in gold or palladium hardware makes this bag instantly recognisable, while its flat profile and crossbody strap make it supremely wearable.

Popular leathers include Epsom (structured), Evercolour (soft) and Chevre Mysore (textured goatskin). Every Constance at The Purse Affair is professionally authenticated.
