Hermès Constance Slim review – The petite version of the bag of your dreams
With trends such as micro- and nano-handbags that look more like wallets, it is fair enough that a wallet should be designed to transform into a handbag whenever you wish. It seems we’re headed there, though this isn’t yet a staple in the high-end bag world. But Hermès Constance Slim deserves the honorary mentions for being the fashion-forward accessory that modern style icons need.
Meet the Slim
This is a compact day-to-night wallet that can be converted into a belt bag or handbag (with the addition of a chain). Crafted in grained Epsom leather that is superb texture-wise – for extra visual and tactile appeal – Hermès Constance Slim will develop a unique character with wear.
Sized to fit not much else than you’d normally put into your wallet (12 X 10 cm), it is different from typical styles that can be carried as clutch bags. This luxury piece can be worn crossbody, over the shoulder or elbow, and as a top-handle bag if you slide a fabric or leather strap under its flap or use a chain/leather conversion kit for your Hermès Constance Slim. Looking like the brand’s iconic handbags – in miniature – it packs in lots of style and versatility for its small size.
Cuteness prevails?
No doubt, statement making is the noble mission of the Slim with the signature H logo hardware. As wallets are getting smaller because their owners don’t have to rely on cash, functionality isn’t a priority for those lucky ones who don’t need to carry much around. So inside, Hermès Constance Slim has only two credit card slots and a separate zip-up coin purse.
While carrying coins in your designer bag or wallet is a big no-no as it causes excessive wear, you can fit your keys, credit cards, bills and even small cosmetic items into your Hermès Constance Slim. It is perfect for fans of micro-bag trends and the Hermès brand, as well as anyone who loves designer bags and wallets but can afford only one piece.
Be sure to flaunt it
Your handbag and wallet may be investment pieces. But if you are looking for just one that can be converted to another – and looks the most flattering when you wear it – the Slim can do it all.
While your wallet usually doesn’t get noticed as much as your bag, this miniature creation is sure to steal the spotlight. Besides, Hermès Constance Slim fits most belt sizes, so you can draw attention to your body and not just your outfit.
Where can you get one?
Like other iconic Hermès creations, this limited-edition piece is hard to find, especially if you are eyeing a Hermès Constance in brighter hues of Evercolor leather or exotic materials. As you start shopping around, you may be lucky to get a brand-new Hermès Constance Slim. But heading to LUXE LINK for a pre-loved one with a smaller price tag can be a fantastic deal.
