The Constance, around for more than fifty years, is a shoulder bag, with a large H clasp and a long shoulder strap that also allows it to be chicly worn across the body. This bag is thought to be named after the designer’s fifth child. Now it has its own dedicated fan base with style setters from Anna Dello Russo to Mary-Kate Olsen. Each Hermès bag is hand made by a single craftsman to ensure consistency, which of course also safeguards its exclusivity and desirability.
