Hermes constance 24 or hermes vintage constance 23 i'm gonna share all the differences and compare
them with you and i will also share my final thoughts in the end you leave me a comment down
below to let me know what's your preference and which one do you like better let's compare the
leather first so nowadays a lot of constants like my Hermes constants 24 is the newer
and the current version is available in a lot of leather like epsom leather evercolor swift leather
or even exotics so my constance 24 is in the epsom leather and you can see
the epsom leather is an embossed leather it's not how the leather look originally but it's
still very nice it's super lightweight and it maintained the shape really really well so you
can tell the constants is in a very structured look it will be able to maintain the shape like
this going forward so my vintage constants is from 1983 and it's in the leather evergrain
it's a very soft leather and it's it feels very luxurious it's also really lightweight and it has
a slight sheen to the leather you can see it's easy to get scratches but then the small scratches
you can totally easily buff it out and the deep scratches you can remove it by the hermes spa
and my vintage constance 23 went through Hermes Spa this year and i will link the video down below
so you can check it out see how much scratches got removed before and after from the Hermes spa and
it looks really nice right now a lot of vintage constants is also available in the box leather
i personally really like the evergrain leather because the luxurious feeling and it feels super
soft when you touch it and also because my bag is 38 years old already it's definitely
considered it's sustained really well especially in a white color let's talk about the hardware
most of them are in gold palladium rose gold some of the new constants has like the enamel
in bright colors i've also seen the hardware is in the lizard buckle so both of my constants
are in the gold hardware if you're interested in how to easily clean and polish the gold hardware
at home i have a dedicated video that i can link down below for you to check it out as well so
constance is usually available in a few different sizes like the micro constants which is in the
size 14 centimeter and there is a constant mini which is in the 18 centimeter size there's also
the constants 24 which is 24 centimeter there is also another one is constants e length which is 25
centimeter so nowadays the most common one that you get from the boutique is the constant mini
which is in 18 centimeter and the constant is 24. there are a couple of other sizes are discontinued
already also like my vintage constants 23 23 centimeter one is discontinued as well
so my constants 24 measures about 23.5 centimeter across and my vintage constant 23 measures exact
23 centimeter across so the size difference is not that big but the constants 24 looks taller let's
compare the interior and exterior differences they both have the H buckle non-detachable
non-adjustable straps the back of the vintage constants actually has a pocket here but the
new constant 24 does not have anything in the back the strap length is different and you can see the
strap is longer in the constants 24 and i'll show you the difference how they look on me when i'm
trying them on in a bit if you look at them side by side actually the constant 24 is way thicker
and a wider than the constants 23 and it can hold way more stuff than the constants 23 as well
even though size wise it doesn't sound like there is a huge difference but i really test it out like
constance 24 can hold away more the constant 24 has two compartments outside and the vintage
constant 23 has only one compartment this is how the bottom looks like for the interior you have
a zipper pocket in the back of the bag and at the front you have a pocket as well and but you
can see the bag has two compartments separated for the vintage constants 23 you have a zipper pocket
in the back there's one pocket in the front which is very similar it only has one compartment inside
which is very different from the new constants 24. and another difference is that H buckle opening
feels a little different the H buckle in the constants 23 is really really tighter when you
press it down the new constant 24 it's not as tight when you press it down and you can feel
that the spring part i don't know if it's because individual bag feels different on the H closure
if you have a vintage constant 23 let me know that if your closure feels tighter
than the new constant so i'm about 105 pound and a 5''5' just for your reference and you can see
the vintage one feels higher falls on my body and this is how it looks cross body
if i wear them as shoulder bag you can see this
is how it falls on me and this is this side is also higher
if i cross body the vintage constants fall super high on me so i barely cross body this bag
it feels a little weird or to crossbody to be honest versus the constants 24 if i crossbody
it it's kind of the perfect drop on me this is how different that they look like this side is perfect
this side is way too high
or you can just hold it but the constants 24 shoulder strap is definitely longer
than the vintage constants 23. let's talk about the price difference hermes constance 24 in
epsom leather in the boutique is thousand three hundred dollars and then you will have to pay
tax on top of it and if you're trying to get a vintage constant 23 it usually price from
four thousand dollars to eight nine thousand dollars depends on the condition of the bag
constance is actually not an easy bag to get from the boutique even it's not a quoted bag especially
if you want popular leather and popular colors you still need to have some sort of spending history
with your sales associate in order to get offered a constant especially in a competitive
city like san francisco your spending will be even higher for vintage constants 23
that you can easily get the bag from the pre-loved market without spending anything extra if you
do love the constant look but you have limited budget and i think the vintage constance 23 is
actually a better option because of the price both constants 24 and a 23 are really classic
iconic constants bags and they both are really nice if you love the newer look and you would
like to carry more stuff and you have the budget constants 24 is definitely the right one to go
but if you have limited budget and if you still like the constant look and you also appreciate
the vintage look then i think constance 23 is a great option for me personally i love both of them
it's really really difficult just to pick one that's why i got them in the first place right
i do love the constance 24 structured look and i also love the fact that it can carry so much stuff
and it does look more modern but i also love my constants 23 and i love the vintage look i would
say why not both if you have the budget right i have my constants 23 for a few years now now
looking back i still think it's a great purchase and i'd still love it so much my constants 24 is
newer to me and i also love it a lot leave me a comment down below to let me know are your team
23 or team 24 or just let me know if you have any questions and i'll see you guys soon bye
