How do I wear my Hermès Constance bag?
How you wear your Hermès Constance bag is totally up to you — fashion is all about individuality — but part of the accessory’s enduring appeal lies in its versatility. The Constance can be casually worn across the body or over the shoulder, and you can easily adjust the bag’s strap to meet your preferences. 

A favorite of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, the Hermès Constance pairs comfort and refinement. While the distinctive design isn't one of the luxury house's much-publicized top-handle bags or totes, it's a widely loved bag most noted for the “H” clasp that secures the bag’s top flap.

“It is not a fashion bag — it is a statement bag,” says Debra Kent, of Mightychic. “When you carry an iconic Hermès bag — Birkin, Kelly, Constance — no one knows how long you have been into this culture or if you are a newbie. Your status is validated immediately.”
