How much is your Constance 24 Hermès worth in 2026?
Resale range
7 800 € — 15 600 €
In 2026, a Constance 24 in Epsom or Swift leather commands between £6,500 and £13,000 on the secondary market. Exotic leather versions (ostrich, crocodile) or pastel colourways reach considerably higher premiums. The Constance 24's value has risen steadily, driven by its ever-growing scarcity in boutiques.
Constance 24
The Constance 24 was born in 1959, created by Catherine Chaillet and named after her daughter. Its signature H-shaped clasp made the Constance one of the most recognisable Hermès bags from the outset. Princess Grace of Monaco was among its most celebrated early admirers, helping to cement its status as a timeless icon.
With its compact format, integrated adjustable shoulder strap, and magnetic flap, the Constance 24 is designed for everyday elegant use. Its scarcity in boutiques has made it a highly coveted collector's piece, with values that have risen consistently over recent years.
How to authenticate a Constance 24 Hermès
Authentication of the Constance 24 begins with the H clasp in solid metal, perfectly engraved with Hermès. The pressure required to open it must be decisive and clean. The adjustable strap must bear the Hermès stamp and the year letter, just as on Birkin and Kelly models.
Like all Hermès models, the blind stamp beneath the flap reads Hermès Paris Made in France and carries the year letter and atelier code. The interior lining is in Chevre or Mysore leather with regular, precise stitching. The H clasp on a counterfeit is invariably too light, imprecisely engraved, or poorly finished.
The most coveted versions
The Constance 24 is particularly prized in Epsom leather for its structure, and in Swift for its softness. Ostrich and crocodile versions are true collector's pieces. Classic colourways (Black, Étoupe, Gold) are the most liquid; rare pastels command the highest premiums.

Selling your Constance 24 Hermès — frequently asked questions
Is the Constance 24 really worth £6,500 to £13,000?
Yes, in 2026 a Constance 24 in excellent condition with a full set genuinely commands values within this range. Exotic or rare colourway versions can reach £20,000 or more among collectors. The HAUTANE estimate is free and includes a firm offer within 4 hours.
What is the difference between the Constance 18, 24, and Mini?
The 18 is the compact shoulder-strap format (very fashionable currently). The 24 is the historic, versatile format. The Mini is more recent and even more compact. The 24 remains the format with the most stable and established value on the secondary market.
How does the Constance's H clasp work?
The H clasp opens with a single press. The brand's signature is engraved on the horizontal bar of the H. On original editions, it is in solid metal (palladium or gold-plated) and its weight and precision of engraving are immediately distinguishable from imitations.
Is the Constance 24 difficult to care for?
Epsom leather is very easy to maintain. Swift requires more care (sensitivity to rubbing and moisture). Avoid contact with dark denim fabrics, which can transfer colour. A Hermès spa service can restore a Constance to near-pristine condition.
Does the Constance 24 sell quickly through HAUTANE?
Yes, the Constance 24 is one of the most liquid Hermès models after the Birkin and Kelly. In consignment, expect 7 to 14 days for a Constance in excellent condition with a full set. With immediate buyback, the offer is made within 4 hours and payment within 48 hours.
