※ For consistency, we refer to the model as "Constance To Go" throughout this article, though it is sometimes officially listed as "Constance Long To Go."
First, let’s go over what makes the Constance To Go so appealing and what the official prices are. Knowing its value upfront helps you better understand how it’s assessed during resale.
The Constance To Go is part of Hermès' refined and functional "To Go" series. It reimagines the classic and elegant Constance by adding a strap, turning it into a compact, practical mini bag.
Despite its petite size, it perfectly fits essentials like your smartphone, cards, and small personal items. Its versatility — suitable for both casual and formal occasions — is a big reason behind its popularity.
In particular, its luxurious-yet-functional design, a hallmark of Hermès, makes it appealing to those who want both everyday usability and investment value.
The Constance To Go’s retail price varies significantly depending on the material. Below are the official Japanese retail prices as of 2025:

You may have heard that the Constance To Go is hard to find in Hermès boutiques — and that’s no exaggeration.
New stock arrives infrequently, and popular colors often come with a long waitlist. In recent years, growing interest from collectors and overseas buyers has made certain models especially difficult to acquire.
As a result, the Constance To Go maintains strong demand and high prices on the secondary market.
So, how much can you actually get for your bag compared to retail? It varies widely depending on factors like material, stamp (year of manufacture), condition, and accessories included.
Here’s a breakdown of 2025 resale value estimates and what matters most during appraisal.
Below is the estimated resale price range for the Constance To Go, based on current market data and the latest trends (for items in new to excellent condition).

It’s clear that the base resale price differs by material, but regardless of the type, the Constance To Go consistently commands a high price point.
Croc leathers (like alligator and porosus) retail for over 3x the price of standard leathers. If the bag is in excellent or better condition, resale often exceeds ¥1.5 million.
Bags with the following characteristics also tend to score high appraisals:
Rare colors and limited editions can even surpass standard price charts, so it’s not always possible to judge value based on general listings.
Even within the same material, several factors can change the appraisal by tens of thousands of yen — or more:
In the To Go line specifically, the condition of the strap and hardware often goes unnoticed — but it’s a critical factor in resale assessments.
The Constance To Go is often compared with other models in the To Go series like the Kelly To Go and the elongated Constance Élan.
Let’s break down the features, market value trends, and ultimately determine which one holds the highest resale value.
Each model differs in design, shape, and whether the strap is removable, which can influence the usage style and buyer preference.
Here’s a comparison of the estimated resale value for each model as of 2025. Keep in mind these are rough benchmarks — actual prices may vary based on condition, stamp, color, hardware, and whether all accessories are included.

When comparing the Constance To Go with the Kelly To Go, the Constance To Go generally tends to fetch slightly higher resale prices.
That said, since both models can overlap in value depending on their material and condition, the actual ranking may reverse depending on the individual item.

On the other hand, the Constance Élan differs from the To Go types and is officially categorized as a handbag.
As of 2025, its retail price is set at ¥1,606,000 — about ¥600,000 higher than the Constance To Go — and this is reflected in its higher resale market value.
Although it doesn’t have a removable strap and differs in size, many collectors are drawn to the Élan for its refined design and rarity.
Even with the same model, small preparations before an appraisal can make a big difference in the final offer.
Here, we’ll walk you through specific steps you can take to raise your resale value — plus how to time your sale for the best results.
Review the following points before taking your bag in for appraisal to avoid deductions and potentially boost your offer:
While you can absolutely sell your Constance To Go by itself, bundling it with other items for appraisal may raise your overall evaluation.
For shops, having multiple items allows for easier planning and more flexible negotiations — which can work in your favor.
The Constance To Go is in demand year-round, but some periods are better than others for getting top dollar:
Rare colors and crocodile pieces are especially sensitive to timing, and occasionally shops may offer time-limited high-value appraisals like: “We can take it for ¥○○○,000 if you act now.”
With just a bit of preparation and the right timing, it’s possible to see a price difference of tens — even hundreds — of thousands of yen.
When it comes time to part with your Constance To Go, there isn’t just one way to sell it.
Whether you’re looking to “turn it into cash immediately” or “wait a little longer to get a higher price,” choosing between a direct buyout or consignment sale becomes an important decision.
Let’s break down the advantages and key points of each option so you can find the method that best suits your needs.
If you “want to sell quickly and get the cash” or are “fine with an average market price,” then buyout is the recommended option.
On the other hand, if you “want to sell for the highest possible price” and “have some time to spare,” consignment might be the better fit.
