What’s the first bag that comes to your mind when you think Hermès? Is it the Birkin, the Kelly, or maybe, the Constance? Often referred to as the bag that completes the “Holy Trinity” of Hermès handbags, the Constance is the third most popular Hermès bag, after the Birkin and Kelly. In fact, it’s as difficult to score the Constance as one of its iconic sisters. Due to bag’s immerse popularity that has, by the way, only increased throughout the years, Hermès Constance bags usually sell out the moment they land in boutiques. Nonetheless, if you want to try your luck and score the Hermès Constance bag directly from the boutique, here are the latest prices.

The price of the Constance bag will depend on the size and material that the bag comes in. The Hermès Constance Bag is available in 4 different sizes: micro, 18 (mini), 24 and the Elan. However, it looks like the Micro and Elan Constance bags might have been discontinued, or are on the way to being discontinued, as it’s becoming more difficult to come by these sizes in boutiques. The two most popular and common sizes for the Constance today are the 18 and 24. The Constance 18 is perfect for someone who carries just the essentials, while the Constance 24 is for those who value more room.
