Hermès Style & Size
Designed in 1959 by Catherine Chaillett and named after her daughter, the Hermes Constance is practical, stylish and versatile, with an adjustable shoulder strap. It is perfectly sized for essentials — phone, small wallet, keys, and lipstick — and ideal for both day and evening wear. The bag has a rigid, rectangular silhouette that holds its shape and the instantly recognisable H clasp.
Hermès Material
Originally used for making saddles, Barenia is a smooth water resistant leather. It wears well and because it absorbs oils found on skin develops a beautiful patina over time. This leather is usually paired with white contrast stitching.
Hermès Colour
Fauve Barenia is a signature colour that exemplifies the house’s deep-rooted heritage in equestrian craftsmanship and timeless elegance. “Fauve,” meaning “tawny” in French, refers to the rich, golden-brown hue of the leather – reminiscent of saddle leather.
Hardware
Hermès Gold hardware is made of solid brass, giving weight and durability, plated in either 18 carat gold, or for some Special Order bags, 24 carat gold and then hand polished. Choose gold hardware for a warm, luxurious finish to your bag.
