Hermès Constance Mini 19 Lime GHW

SKU: 5377
  • Very good condition
Hermès Constance Mini 18 in lime with gold hardware. A bright yellow-green flap, the gold H clasp front and center and a strap long enough to wear crossbody. In 1959 Hermès designer Catherine Chaillet was pregnant while she worked on a new shoulder bag. The story goes that her daughter was born the same day the first bag left the workshop. She named them both Constance. Talk about a busy day. Every Constance is still made by one artisan from start to finish, in about 14 to 18 hours. The H clasp closes with the same spring mechanism it had in 1959. And you cannot just walk into a boutique and buy one. Hermès keeps the Constance for clients with a purchase history and a sales associate who knows them, which is why a Mini 18 often resells at or above its boutique price. This one skips the line. We think lime is the most underrated color Hermès makes, and gold hardware only makes it louder. Name it after someone you love.

Every piece is authenticated before it gets a price tag. No exceptions, and no “authenticated” label on some pieces but not others.                                               

If it’s on this page, we’ve checked it.

Buying pre-loved is the most sustainable way to wear luxury, though we’d be lying if we said that’s why most people walk in. They come for the bag Louis Vuitton stopped making years ago. The planet benefits anyway.

Not everything that comes through our door ends up on this page. We look at construction, condition and whether we’d wear it ourselves. We say no more often than people expect.

We ship worldwide, packed by hand in our Antwerp boutique. Everything here is one of a kind, and sitting in your cart doesn’t hold it. Rather see it in person first? Come by Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm, or Sunday, 11am to 5pm, and ask for it by name.
