Epsom Constance 18 Deep Blue

The Hermès Constance 18 in Deep Blue Epsom Leather is a sophisticated and highly functional “mini” bag, prized for its architectural silhouette and rich, oceanic hue. Often appearing as a “Constance III,” this 18cm model is the most in-demand size in the collection due to its ideal proportions for both day and evening wear.

Core Design & Material

• Material (Epsom): A heat-pressed, machine-printed calfskin that is exceptionally lightweight, scratch-resistant, and water-resistant. Its rigid nature allows the Constance to maintain its crisp, structured frame and sharp corners over years of use.

• Color (Deep Blue): Known as Bleu Profond (Color Code: S0), this is a dark, saturated blue that sits between Navy and a brighter Royal Blue. In Epsom leather, the color remains vibrant and uniform, resisting the fading or patina found in smoother leathers like Swift or Box.

• Signature Hardware: Paired with Gold Hardware (GHW) for a classic, luxurious contrast. The “H” clasp features a spring mechanism concealed on each side for secure closure.

• Interior Layout: Typically lined in tonal lambskin or smooth leather, the interior is divided into two main compartments with two internal patch pockets.

Specifications & Utility

• Dimensions: Approximately 18 cm L x 15 cm H x 4 cm D (roughly 7″ x 6″ x 1.5″).

• Strap Versatility: Features an ingenious sliding leather strap that can be worn long for crossbody use (approx. 54 cm drop) or doubled for a shorter shoulder carry (approx. 28 cm drop).

• Capacity: Perfectly sized for daily essentials it comfortably fits a smartphone (including Pro models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a lipstick.
