Anyone see a Constance mini in any of the NYC boutiques recently? Is it hard for a newbie to score one? Went to the Manhasset boutique and they said they have never even seen it in their boutique yet.

Constance is offered basis… so prob will need purchase history and relationship with SA
Ok, I wasn’t sure if the Constance mini belt bag/wallet was also on offer basis as well.
Don’t know which country u r in, but in US stock is low, popular non-quota bag are offered now as least my store.
When u said mini i thought u meant the 18, but Constance to go does come on website once in blue moon but it’s gone within seconds….and i haven’t seen them on display
We got one just walking into Madison Ave a few months ago without a history with the SA. Since then, lots of stock has been purchased and you’ll likely need to wait until they start getting their shipments stocking up for the holidays. Also, Manhasset is a franchise store so them saying they haven’t seen one probably just means that the boutique owner didn’t buy any. Every corporate boutique we have been to usually orders them. That all being said, they are still relatively difficult to get if you don’t have a history.
Sorry, I meant the Constance Slim. I live in NYC and will try the Madison Avenue store to see if I have any luck.
Thanks for the info! Will try my luck at Madison Avenue. How do you like it? Does it hold much? Would you mind sharing a picture of it? I haven’t seen that many of them.
You mentioned you got it as a walkin without any history with the SA but do you need to have at least some purchase history? Right now, I’m just starting out and only have a few small items in my history. Thanks!
It’s the wife’s bag, but she doesn’t have complaints about fitting stuff into it, so wallet, iPhone, key and lipstick fit for her.
As to the spending history, it’s a weird story. We got this bag when we just walked into Madison Ave. This was when you needed an appointment, so the person at the front desk said “just stay here and I’ll find an SA for you”. She met with us and it got down to business “how can I help? What would you like to see?” The wife had a few B and K bags so she was really on the hunt for her first Constance. She immediately said “I really want a Constance”. The SA before knowing anything about us said “We happen to have one but it’s a mini”. Wife immediately asked to see it so we went downstairs. The SA then asked for my name and went to the back. That’s when I assume she looked up our history and suddenly came back with 6 boxes and asked us to go into the fitting room. One of those 6 was the Constance above, but I wouldn’t say my history had anything to do with it since she mentioned the bag at the top of the stairs before knowing anything about us.
Like I said before, the stock is pretty well depleted now, so you’ll probably have a better chance before the holidays but I’d say try and hope for the best.
The slim is a wallet. The Elan is discontinued. The To Go is a wallet with a strap but tends to be more difficult to find since it’s worn as a tiny bag usually. The mini is 18cm and what you see above and is a true bag.
Thank you for all the info and educating me on all the models!!! The bags are beautiful! If you don’t mind me asking, how much is the one your wife got going for?
I believe it was $8,200. Was a bit ago so I may be off a little but that’s a good ballpark
I got offered a C18 after about a year of shopping with a SA. Was offered two a couple months ago in colors I didn’t want so waited and 2 months later offered my dream color and hardware! Only sad thing is that my SA left and now I have to start all over with a new one
Hi~
Does anyone know if the following photos are Constance slim wallets? I know they aren’t Micro (14cm) Constance because there isn’t hardware on the top, but it doesn’t make sense to me how these clients have the wallets with matching straps. Did they purchase a very Slim H belt and tuck in the hardware? Also, the colors for the Wallets are recent (vert Amande and Rogue sellier) so “vintage” is out of the question…Authenticity maybe? lol, but I doubt it as these people are loyal H clients.
I did messaged these people on IG but no response and my SA hasn’t responded probably due to the chaotic holiday shopping season.
If anyone has any insight or product info that’s be great because I’d love to purchase.
Thanks!
