The Constance is Hermès’s elegant shoulder and crossbody flap, defined by its oversized “H” clasp. Quieter than the Birkin or Kelly but every bit as coveted, it’s one of the brand’s strongest resale performers — the mini in particular routinely sells above retail.
Typical resale value
A pre-owned leather Hermès Constance typically sells for $8,000–$16,000, with vintage leather examples often below $10,000 and the Constance Mini commanding a premium above retail. Exotics and limited editions can exceed $50,000.
| Model / condition | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Constance Mini / 18, excellent | $12,000–$16,000+ | Neutral leather; minis often trade above retail |
| Constance 24, good | $8,000–$12,000 | Light wear, popular color, clean H clasp |
| Vintage leather | Below $10,000 | Older examples in classic leathers |

What drives the price
Size and color lead — the Mini and neutral shades like etoupe, black, and gold are most in demand — followed by leather and condition of the signature H clasp. A complete set and legible date stamp add value.
