The Hermès Constance Compact Wallet in Capucine and Bleu Brighton Epsom with Enamel hardware is a rare, vibrant, and multi-functional accessory that combines a bold “pop” color palette with a modern, high-contrast finish. This bi-color “Verso” or limited edition variation is highly prized by collectors for its artistic use of enamel to match or contrast the bag’s leather.
Core Design & Material
-
Material: Crafted from Epsom calfskin, a rigid, machine-pressed leather known for its fine grain and exceptional scratch and water resistance. It is specifically chosen for structured wallets because it retains its shape even with heavy use.
-
Colorway:
-
Capucine (Color Code 9T): A bright, energetic red-orange inspired by nasturtium flowers.
-
Bleu Brighton (Color Code 7E): A deep, sophisticated medium blue with subtle lavender undertones.
-
-
Enamel Hardware: Features the iconic “H” clasp finished with enamel rather than standard polished metal. This enamel is often color-matched to one of the wallet’s leather shades in this case, typically appearing in a Bleu Brighton or Capucine finish set against a Palladium base.
