Why the Constance is iconic
The instantly recognisable H clasp and clean geometry made it a favourite from the 1960s onward, worn famously by figures from Jackie Kennedy onward. Like the Kelly and Birkin, limited allocation has turned it into a genuine collector's item.

The asking-price table above shows what partner retailers want for this model right now, by size where titles state one. Within a size, price is driven mostly by materials, condition and completeness (box, receipt, authenticity card).

How to authenticate
- 1.Verify the blind/date stamp placement and clarity, checking it matches the leather and hardware era of the bag.
- 2.Examine the H clasp for precise engraving, correct plating weight, and a mechanism that turns and locks with clean tension.
- 3.Look for tight, uniform saddle-stitching and a straight, evenly seated strap, and purchase only where an authentication guarantee is provided.
Guidance only — always buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.
Buying a pre-owned Hermes Constance — FAQs
Is the Constance a practical everyday bag?
The 24 holds daily essentials comfortably as a crossbody, while the 18 is more of a compact, occasion-led bag. Both wear well thanks to the structured leather.
Why is it so hard to buy new?
Hermès produces the Constance in limited quantities and rarely offers it openly in boutiques, so most buyers turn to the pre-owned market.
Does the strap length adjust?
Yes, the Constance strap is adjustable, letting you wear it on the shoulder or cross-body, which adds to its everyday versatility.
