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
Known as Gulliver until it was discontinued in 1999, this leather was reintroduced in 2005 as Swift. It has a fine grain which is soft to the touch and the ability to absorb dyes and reflect the light make it very popular. The drawback to Swift is that it is easily scratched so needs careful handling.
Hermès Colour
A refreshing vibrant colour, as the name suggests, Menthe has a slight blue undertone and changes from a softer green under electric light to a vivid, almost electric green in bright sunlight.
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.
