Hi preciousEvanka,
Seems like we are on the same journey of searching for a Constance.
May I ask what size you r looking at n your built?
I really can't make up my mind on a 18 or 23 cm Constance.
My height is about 164cm n mostly in sz 2.
I like the look of 23cm but worried about it being too bulky for my built.
Hope to hear from u soon.
IMO, the issue with the constance is actually more in terms of proportion, it's neither big nor small for my size. The issue is how much stuff i can put inside and that's about it. The 18cm constance is v small, but with the longer strap you wan wear cross body. Whereas MM constance, capacity is bigger but the strap is shorter so you can't wear crossbody. Of course my no 1 choice would be the elan, but since I couldn't pass the colour of MM Constance that my SA offered to me, I finally took the MM size and it was the best dec that I made.
Accord to your height, i believe u can do both. Constance itself is a small bag, so u can be sure that neither 18 or 23 are too big/bulky for u. It's just a matter of how you are going to use it. For me, 18cm is impractical given the fact the price we are paying for. So it's nvr been on my radar. But then again, it's just my opinion
Godd luck with your decision.
