About the Constance 24
Launched in 1959 and named after Robert Dumas's daughter, the Constance is a structured shoulder/crossbody bag defined by its large H-shaped clasp. It shares the Birkin and Kelly's boutique-allocation scarcity model.
What affects this bag's resale value
- Leather type and the H-clasp's finish (gold/palladium/brushed) are the primary price drivers
- Strap-drop length and hardware size vary by era and affect collector demand
- Waitlist/quota scarcity — same allocation dynamics as the Birkin and Kelly sustain resale premiums above retail

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Constance as valuable as the Birkin?
- It benefits from the same Hermès scarcity model and often resells above retail, though the Birkin generally has slightly broader resale demand and liquidity.
Hermès (est. 1837) — Deliberately limits production and retail access to its Birkin and Kelly lines, creating sustained waitlists that routinely push resale prices above original retail — a dynamic almost no other luxury brand replicates.
This is an estimated market value, not a formal appraisal. The actual value of any individual bag depends on its condition, provenance, and what a specific buyer is willing to pay. Values shown are modeled from aggregated resale market data and update periodically.
