Questions About Constance And Sons
- What is a mini Constance bag?1 Answer
ChicjoySeptember 24, 2020The Mini Constance is known as the 18cm Constance. It measures 7.25” width x 6.25” height x 2.25” depth with a 16.5” adjustable drop. It is the smaller version of the 24cm Constance, which measures 9.5” width x 7” height x 3” depth with an 18” adjustable shoulder strap
- How do I open Hermès Constance?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To open a Hermès Constance handbag, take hold of the metal "H" clasp and place your fingers around the bar that connects the legs of the letter. Then, pull it toward you. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Hermès Constance handbags from some of the world's top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The Constance is available in a variety of leather options. They include Box and Swift smooth leathers and Epsom grained leather. Hermès also periodically offers the bag in exotic crocodile, lizard and ostrich leather. Find a collection of Hermès Constance bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A Hermes Constance bag typically costs anywhere between $4,000 and $30,000. The price ranges depending on size, material, and condition.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if a Hermès Constance bag is fake, start by examining the seams. The bag features exposed exterior stitching, making it easy to see if the lines are straight. Crooked seams or uneven stitching usually indicated a fake. Also, the interior zipper pull has a diamond shape and will remain parallel to the teeth. A dangling pull is unlikely to be on an authentic Constance. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of expertly vetted Hermès Constance bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, the Hermès Constance handbag strap is adjustable, keeping it comfortable to carry. You can also fold the strap in half as a simple way to quickly shorten it when needed. Browse a range of authentic Hermès Constance bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 29, 2020
When you’re trying to authenticate your Hermès Constance bag, there are a few things to remember. For one, there is no “authenticity card” — Hermès doesn’t accompany its Constance bags with any such certificate. There is a label stamp inside any authentic Hermès Constance handbag that reads “Hermès Paris Made in France” — the lettering will be clear and it won’t appear blocky or oversized. Lettering on this label that looks anything other than professionally set and lightly pressed into the leather may mean that your Hermès Constance bag is a fake.
Stitching is a good metric to consider because each Hermès Constance handbag is hand-sewn by Hermès artisans (spotting a fake Birkin bag requires similar inspections) according to Hermès’s celebrated saddle-stitching technique, so while the sew lines will have some inconsistencies, the work will be demonstrative of the company’s commitment to quality, and the stitching will indicate as much.
Hardware on your authentic Hermès Constance bag is always made of a genuine precious metal — the metal is typically brass that is hand-polished and plated with fine gold, palladium or permabrass, while the H-shaped clasp has been silvered, lacquered, set with diamonds, and more over the years. This metal will feel substantial, and it will not tarnish over time.
- ChicjoySeptember 24, 2020
The Constance can be worn crossbody, or with the strap doubled as a shoulder bag.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Hermès Constance bag is named after one of the children of Catherine Chaillet, the designer who created the iconic purse. It debuted in 1959, and legend has it that the luxury fashion house's factory finished the first one on the day that her daughter was born. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Hermès Constance bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The best leather for Hermès Constance is truly a matter of personal taste. Most Constance bags are crafted from a variety of leathers as well as exotic leather and skin. Shop a range of authentic Hermès Constance bags from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, all Howard and Sons chairs are stamped. However, the type and location of the stamp varies. You may see a name or number on a caster wheel or foot on some pieces. Others display the stamp on a paper label sewn onto the fabric. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of expertly vetted Howard and Sons chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 29, 2020
No, vintage Hermès Constance bags do not have serial numbers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To spot an authentic Howard & Sons chair, first look for a name or number on the inside of the back foot. There may also be a paper label sewn into the hessian or a name stamp on the wheel. On 1stDibs, you can shop a collection of expertly vetted Howard & Sons chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Is Wm Rogers & Son real silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Yes, Wm Rogers & Son is real silver. However, most pieces aren't solid silver. The silversmith worked predominantly in silver plate, which is a base metal finished with a thin layer of genuine silver. Shop a selection of Wm Rogers & Sons silver wares from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 29, 2020
On the front of your Hermès Constance bag, the metal “H” doubles as both an insignia for the high fashion goods manufacturer and a clasp to keep your bag snapped shut. To open your Hermès Constance handbag, grab the metal “H” — position your fingers directly around the horizontal middle bar of the letter, so that your fingers are curled underneath it, and pull out toward you. The key to opening the clasp without scratching the accessory’s leather is to pull only at the horizontal bar. The bag opens and closes with the help of a spring-loaded mechanism that is concealed on each of the bar’s ends fixed to the flap.
