Wow! Thank you so much ladies for the input! ♥️♥️♥️

Due to all the votes for gold and it being my first choice anyway, that’s what i’ll go with! Yayy.. soo excited for my first constance.

Some people mentioned that they are readily available at the boutiques, but tbh i don’t really have a buying record with the boutiques here.. i doubt they would offer me one, or is a constance something i can just ask over the counter?

I am from indonesia too, and the pricing here is quite high for luxury bags due to the tax. We only have 2 stores and i dont think they have a lot of stocks as well I tried playing the hermes game whenever i get the chance to travel to europe but always ended with no success. Couldn’t even get a lindy when i was in paris!

From that experience, DH felt bad for me (or maybe tired because i keep dragging him with me when we visit the boutiques lol) that he think i should just get my bags from a reseller. Also got my first kelly from one.

What do you guys think? Resellers or build a record with Hermes?

Have a lovely day ladies♥️

I’m all about working with Hermes directly when possible. That being said, the Constance, especially the smaller size, is still a bag that you generally need a decent relationship (or large one time spend) to be offered. And that’s in the US, I’d expect it to be even more difficult where you are. Congrats on your decision of gold Evercolor, I think you will love her!

These choices are always so personal and unique to the purchaser. Although I think sesame is a very pretty color I would choose the gold for two reasons.......I love contrast stitching and I do not like epsom at all.
so true about choices being so personal. I love contrast stitching on a Birkin or Evelyne but somehow not so much on a Constance. My favorite and most-used bags have contrast stitching.
Mavissaurus, I am sure you will love your new gold Constance. You should buy what speaks to you.

I'm glad you seem to be leaning towards gold! I really like Sesame and own a bag in it, but I think that you should go with the color that really speaks to you, personally. Plus, I prefer evercolor to epsom. :)

I can't offer any advice about boutiques in your area of the world and whether or not a constance would be something you could easily get.
 
All I know is that Constance are really really hard to get in London-My client has a really good H relationship with a high spend across all categories and she has been waiting over 9months for the less popular larger size.
I think as long as you trust the reseller buy there or preloved.
If you really really want a Constance better to get what you want when you want it rather than wait with no end in sight..
 
You know you can always ask at your boutique ? I say it’s free to ask.
I’m in USA and Constances are fairly available - and, at least where I am, not all that popular - go figure.
The Constance is such a stunning bag.
In any event - huge congrats.
You chose a classic:-)
