HERMES Constance 18 Mini, Bleu Zanzibar Evercolor, Gold Hardware, 2021

HeritageThe Hermès Constance is the house's most quietly authoritative silhouette — a structured crossbody conceived in 1959 by Catherine Chaillet, then a seamstress at the atelier, and named for her fifth child born the year of its creation. The Constance 18 Mini compresses that authority into its most discreet expression: a format that carries everything essential and nothing superfluous. This example in Bleu Zanzibar Evercolor with gold hardware represents a colorway that the house produces in limited seasonal runs — a saturated, jewel-toned blue that reads as electric in direct light and deepens to cobalt in shadow. Z Stamp (2021). Excellent condition. The Constance does not announce itself. It does not need to.DesignEvercolor leather — a supple, scratch-resistant calfskin developed by Hermès specifically for structured pieces — gives the Bleu Zanzibar its surface consistency and durability without sacrificing the depth of color that makes this configuration immediately recognizable. The iconic H clasp in gold hardware anchors the front flap with the kind of precision that requires no embellishment. Single flat shoulder strap for crossbody or shoulder carry. The interior is lined and organized for the essentials: card slots, a zip pocket, and a flat pocket — structured for intention, not volume. A bag designed to be reached for daily and distinguished from everything else in the room.Collector's NoteThe Constance 18 Mini in a jewel-tone Evercolor with gold hardware is among the most consistently pursued configurations in the Constance family — the size, material, and hardware combination that appeals equally to the daily-carry collector and the acquisition-focused buyer. Bleu Zanzibar is a seasonal color with limited production history, which positions this example above standard inventory in both desirability and secondary market stability. Excellent condition, shoulder strap included.Technical SpecificationsDesigner: Hermès Model: Constance 18 Mini Date Stamp: "Z" (2021) Material: Evercolor Calfskin Color: Bleu Zanzibar Hardware: Gold Hardware (GHW) Closure: Signature H clasp Origin: Made in France Gender: Unisex Condition: Excellent Authenticity: Independently verified before listingMeasurementsWidth: 7.1" (18 cm) Height: 5.9" (15 cm) Depth: 1.6" (4 cm)Included With PurchaseShoulder strap.Photography & RepresentationEvery effort has been made to accurately represent this item through high-resolution photography and detailed cataloging.
