Est. $40,000-$45,000 Hermes Shiny Geranium Nilo Crocodile Leather Constance Elan 25cm Bag W/Felt Protector, Dust Bag, & Box - This exquisite bag was made by highly trained artisans at Hermes. This is the Constance style bag, constructed of shiny Niloticus Crocodile in the beautiful red Geranium color. The bag measures approx. 6"H x 10"W x 2"D, and has a 12" adjustable strap drop. The bag is finished with gold tone hardware, including the constance H buckle closure. The bag is blind stamped with the Square P stamp from 2012, the two dot Niloticus stamp, and is in pristine condition. Since its original design in 1969 by Catherine Chaillet and its time spent on the arm of fashion icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Hermes Constance has maintained its status as the epitome of classic elegance. Each Hermes Constance bag takes approximately 14 hours to create, and is crafted by a single artisan. Its sleek lines, adjustable strap, and gold or silver H clasp, make this style the perfect day to night bag. The bag will come with the felt protector, dust bag, and box. Throughout its history, the Hermes brand has been inspired by numerous style icons such as Princess Grace of Monaco and Jane Birkin, leading to the design of the most coveted handbags in the world, the Hermes Kelly and Birkin. From examining and cutting leather to hand-stitching and melding hardware, highly trained artisans craft each Hermes piece. Many of the Hermes craftsmen have studied at Paris' Ecole Gregoire-Ferrandi, and are required to pass various exams prior to constructing their first Hermes handbag, assuring that each bag is of the highest quality.
