Hermès - Constance 18 Doré
Always in the running for the number one spot, Hermès continues to honor the spirit of the Olympic Games. In 2004, to celebrate the Athens Olympics, Hermès released a rare collectsion of metallic handbags. This lineup featured the iconic Birkin, Constance, and Kelly, each meticulously crafted in medal-worthy tones of bronze, silver, and gold. Though produced in limited quantities, these shimmering treasures left a lasting impression and are still coveted to this day.

Fast forward to 2024, Hermès unveils a dazzling revival of their coveted gold shade with the introduction of the Doré colorway, aptly translating to “golden.” This new hue, presented in Chamkilight goatskin (chèvre), exudes a brilliant yet subtle metallic finish that accentuates its subtly grained leather texture.
