OMG OMG OMG you did it!!!!

I am so honoured to be your Constance buddy. I think you already know how I feel about vintage H. Yours is a real gem! I am not half as pretty as you, so I am sure you will inspire more tPFers to look at fair Constance.

Congratulations, Whitebirkin. Francis is a lovely person to deal with. Can't wait to see an action photo of you with the Constance.

Birkingal: thank you for your re-assurance about buying from Francis! It made me feel more comfortable buying from him, knowing that a fellow tpf-er has met him in person before! Yes, he's a very nice person, and was very patient and helpful in dealing with a first-time customer like me

The bag isn't even shipped yet; Francis had just informed me via email that he's shipping the bag this afternoon (Paris time).
This is a pretty new experience for me (I still can't believe I finally did it! OMG...) and I have all of the H thread members here to thank, all those who have posted on the Post eBay Finds thread, the H resellers thread, and members who were kind enough to PM me. In particular, I'd like to thank licencetocook, whose picture carrying a red Constance bag, was the reason I bought this bag! Thank you... I never thought I'd buy a Constance before! Seeing it on you makes me realize how beautiful the bag really is.
Here's the pics, credited to Francis at Le monde du Voyages:

Hi Vreelandia, yes I did get it but had to return it because the condition is worse than seen in the picture But I'm glad I returned it, because in Tokyo (I'm here now for the holidays), I ended up buying 2 Constances and they're in excellent shape!! One is a black nilo croc Constance size 23, and the other is a red porosus croc Constance size 18. Before I left for Tokyo, in a fit of desperation, I bought a cognac alligator Constance size 18, but I haven't seen it yet because it's being shipped from the US. So now I ended up with 3 Constance bags!!! But I'm completely in love with this bag. What's surprising is that I actually wore the size 18 during the day, and I'm able to fit quite a lot into it: cash bills, coin purse, a tiny compact mirror, 1 lipstick, a pack of tissue paper, and my mobile phone! So for those who loves the Constance but is intimidated by the size, go on and try it!! You'd be surprised at how much you can fit into the bag, plus it is GORGEOUS!!
