I laid a Mosaique 21 over a Constance 24. Height wise they are about the same. However, the Mosaique is more rounded at the bottom and slight narrower as you can see from the 1st pic where u can see a little of the blue Constance showing. The 2nd shot makes it look like the 2 are same width but the Constance is wider by a bit as per shot number 1. Third shot shows the comparison from the side view so you can compare relative depth. My Azap wallet fits in the Mosaique nearer the top of the bag since it will not go all the way down due to the rounded edges at the bottom of the bag. My wallet goes into the Mosaique deep enough so I can comfortably close the purse flap even though the wallet does not fit at the very bottom of the purse. My Azap wallet does not fit in the Constance because whereas the Mosaique is straight on the sides, the Constance is indented on the sides making it functionally narrower even though it is visually wider when one bag is laid directly over the other.

Which one do you prefer? I am attracted to both of them but I don’t know which one to choose!

Hmmm. Not sure. I like both and use both. I tend to use my Mosaique more because I like the way the clasp works a bit better. You press down to release vs the Constance where u press up underneath to release. I’m a bit of a klutz and sometimes feel my fingernails scrape the leather as I try to unlatch my Constance. It’s epsom leather so I haven’t scratched the leather. But I could see this being a problem if I had a Constance in one of the smooth leathers. I’ve only seen the Mosaique in the stiffer grained leathers epsom and monsieur calfskin which are leathers I like. The Constance shows up in a much wider variety of leathers so if u don’t like epsom or epsom type leathers then maybe the Constance will give you a wider choice of leathers. Has anyone seen a Mosaique in any leathers other than Epsom or Monsieur calfskin?

Actually my hesitation is between a black C24 in Epsom and the Mosaique in Veau Monsieur. I have a Barenia C18 and would like to have a black bag in the same kind of shape but with a less delicate leather and more spacious! And that I can wear crossbody as well. Thank you for your help!

Oh I would love a Barenia Constance but I also see why you would want an alternative in Epsom or Veau Monsieur. Btw I can’t use either the C24 or the Mosaique 21 crossbody. I find the strap is too short
