Lot Essay
A great Hermès classic, the Constance bag has been reinterpreted for this special version in silk and leather. This sophisticated bond is the result of careful and intricate assembly work and gives pride of place to the material. The silk is printed using a unique technique that allows the vibrant colors to stand out. Marble Silk is the culmination of a true treasure hunt. The process used to make the scarves is unique and entirely artisanal. First, a paste saturated with various colored pigments is created. It is expertly crafted, cut out and arranged in patterns and used to form cylinder inlay-like designs. Then roll the cylinder onto the silk for printing. Motifs, which are increasingly refined during the production process, make each piece unique, no two are exactly alike. This complex process yields wonderful whimsical motifs and rare silks rich in an incredible variety of effects and intense colours, all of which can be seen in this extraordinary bag.
