Now one of Hermès’s greatest icons, the Constance was created in 1959 by designer Catherine Chaillet and is named after her daughter, who was born on the very day the first bag left the workshop. Its design is distinguished by a clean, geometric silhouette, dominated by the unmistakable “H”-shaped metal clasp, which serves both as a practical element and as the house’s emblem. Thanks to its balance of elegance, functionality, and instantly recognizable design, the Constance holds, alongside the Birkin and the Kelly, a privileged place among Hermès’ most coveted creations.
