Constance bags are one of the most coveted pieces of Hermès. It is the epitome of elegance yet casual. The bag has quite a sporty feel however it is still a timeless piece. I styled the Constance Bags and I’ll break them down for you in this blogpost. Being able to wear it in multiple ways gives the Hermès bag a versatile look, which I totally love.
Constance Bag 1
I was, as one does, looking at the Hermès site when I came upon this bag. I instantly fell in love with it. Once before I saw a blue suede Kelly Pochette and I was in awe. This Constance Bag is in the colour in suede. It comes with palladium hardware, which I really like.
For styling Constance bag number 1 I chose the go for a simple outfit. I prefer to wear these at the moment and all the accessories transfer the outfit from basic to simple yet elegant. We start with knitwear and jeans from Khaité.
I am in fact a white-gold girl so of course I had to keep it that way while styling this outfit. Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra pendant in white gold guilloche is a piece I haven’t seen many people wearing, that makes it more fun. I paired it with the elegant Hermès Fauborg Watch, Mini with a diamond-set white gold watch. So gorgeous the diamonds but not overpowering.
For shoes I want to make it light because of the beautiful Constance bag. I chose the Manolo Blahnik with a heel hight of 60 mm, that will make it comfortable to walk around in. I love the idea of pairing this light pink satin with the blue suede.
Styling Constance Bag 2
For as long as I can remember I have been loving the colour purple. What shade of purple my favourite was depended on the seasons and my age. So naturally when I saw this colour I was totally in love with it.
This is the Constance in Epsom leather in the colour Anemone. The bag has the palladium hardware and it gives the bag a more modern look.
My vision for this outfit was a really big coat paired with heels and the bag being the same colour. This is a pair form Amina Muaddi. The Camelia Pumps are in the shade Amethyst Satin and come with a mirror accessory on the pointed toes.
For the big coat I of course had to look at Magda Butrym. They deliver amazing quality pieces that are handmade by women in Poland. I found this beautiful and simple dress on the NET-A-PORTER site, it is by ‘S Max Mara which translates to having gorgeous knitwear.
To make the outfit complete we need good accessories. For starter the beautiful Forest Ring by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, a Danish-based brand that creates unique jewellery items. Then the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato cardholder in this bright silver colour to keep it casual and fun. Bonus points because it matches the palladium hardware of the Constance bag and the mirrored detail on the heels. This look could not be complete without big round Celine Sunglasses. Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense to exude a powerful confident woman.
Constance Bag 3
Styling Constance Bags without offering one with gold hardware would not be complete. I chose for this Constance in blue box leather, which is really rare because mostly this leather comes in black. Box leather is one of Hermès’ oldest leathers, it ages beautifully.
I wanted this outfit to be multifunctional, one can go shopping with this look, have casual dinner or visit a friend. For the base we have the navy oh-so classic cardigan by Ralph Lauren and I paired it with the gorgeous Khaité jeans. The next item is so cool but does not overpower the whole look. It is the Trench with Intrecciato collar by the Italian brand Bottega Veneta. Made from leather and detachable makes this collar a very fun add-on. One cannot go wrong with mules of Gianvitto Rossi. I chose the Portofino 55 suede mules in black.
A really unique and cool piece to bring the outfit together is this Cartier Baignoire 1920 watch. It has a yellow gold case with a black strap and looks so French chic. Angels’ Share by Kilian for a warm woody fragrance with notes of cinnamon, tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood.
