- 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.
- What is a mini Constance bag?1 AnswerChicjoySeptember 24, 2020
The 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
- 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.

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.

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 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.
- What is a 24-carat diamond?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A 24-carat diamond is a precious diamond gemstone that weighs 24 carats. One carat weighs 200 milligrams, meaning a 24-carat diamond weighs roughly 4.8 grams. That equates to roughly 0.17 ounces. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of diamond jewelry.
- 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.
- Is 24 kt real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, 24 karat gold is 100 percent pure gold with no other metals mixed in. It’s known for its distinctive bright yellow color and is the highest karat of gold available. Browse a variety of 24 karat gold jewelry and home decor pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Whether 24 inches is too long for a necklace depends on the person wearing it and their individual style. Taller people and those with wider necks may find 24-inch necklaces to be flattering. A 24-inch necklace can also be paired with a low-cut top or layered with shorter necklaces. Explore a large selection of necklaces on 1stDibs.
- Is 24 gauge copper thick?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not 24 gauge copper is considered thick is largely a matter of opinion. Copper marked 24 gauge is 0.0239 inches thick. The thickest commonly used copper gauge is roughly 10 times thicker at 0.2391 inches, while the thinnest common gauge, 38, is only 0.0060 inches thick.

No, vintage Hermès Constance bags do not have serial numbers.
- Can you buy 24k gold jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, you can buy 24k gold jewelry. However, 24-karat gold is a much less commonly used material than 14-karat and 18-karat gold. As 100% pure gold, 24-karat gold tends to be softer and more susceptible to scratching and breakage, making alloys a more popular pick for jewelry makers to use when crafting pieces. Find a large collection of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.

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.
