Gorgeous! Enjoy the bag Kat! In 10 years you can send it to spa and it will look brand new. That’s the best part of owning an Hermes bag. I have the contance 18 too and the hw has several scratches, but I don’t worry as I plan to replace the hw in the next 5-10years .
Oh good point! I get so stressed about the scratches on the hardware lol but you’re totally right, we can send it to the spa and it’ll look brand new again!
Got my B25 box leather from Pavilion boutique 4 months ago, I brought it out at least once a week since then and it’s doing okay. C18 is small and it’s always stay close to your body so it won’t hit others or object unawarely. And even if something hits it (for example, your mirror), it wouldn’t be a scratch per se, it will be some kind of a mark which you can only see when you twist and turn your bag under the light at some angle. Scratched box leather is beautiful, it’s just less beautiful than the brand new one 😂 At the end of the day, it’s yours now, treasure it ❤
Beautiful bag Kat! I have the same one and in palladium hardware and out of all my bag I think it’s one of my favorite but also the one I’m the most terrified to use. Have it now for two year and only worn it once! To scared to touch it. Hopefully we will get the courage to take it out more. I have one in etoupe with phw now on my wish list. Can’t wait to see how you style it. Congratulations
Congratulations on the beautiful bag! I have a couple of pairs of shoes in box, and it’s not bad! I have gotten clemance wet, too, and it didn’t blister. Don’t soak it in water or anything. Enjoy your bag!!
Oh Kat. Congrats. I literally ran my box leather Constance in rain 😂 it doesn’t do any harm to my bag. Of course you gotta wipe the rain away. Box leather is not that delicate from my experience. Have been using my Constance for over a year now. I don’t see any scratches. I put it once in a large carton box with other stuff in a work event. And moved the carton around. But I didn’t get any scratches. Scratches are much more visible on the H buckle instead of on the leather!!
It's a stunning bag! I completely understand you having mixed feeling as you wanted to get a bag with platinum hardware. Different hardware colour comes and goes, and gold will always be the most classic! Embrace it :)
I have this in phw! In the erratic Singapore weather I only ever carry it if it’s very hot and no chance of rain. I usually also have a small bag inside in case it rains so it’ll be covered. There are some light scratches which buffed out over time which is great! It’s definitely a high maintenance bag but the leather makes it so unique!
I have gotten a box kelly..like you, I read up how to take care of it.. Tips I found include looking at weather forecast first before you use it, always bring a foldable bag so that you can use to hold your box bag when it rains. Enjoy your bag! =)
i have the same box leather constance. no problem with a little drizzle. scratches are fine really, the sheen of the box leather outshines it i feel. but i dont think it can be buffed out like lambskin, but ive heard the hermes spa does do a wonderful job for box (so i heard). i think the more obvious scratches is from the hardware... which seems to be a consistent complaint for constances... the strap ive noticed softens very quickly and i have yet to figure out how to store the straps properly :/
Kat just watching you stress about the gorgeous new bag stressed me out. Let go! Enjoy it. Life is too short. Own it. Give it chatacter, dents, scratches. Don't always think the endgame is to resell. You will never enjoy anything that way. It's gorgeous. Mixing and matching color, style, metals is liberating. Don't thing too deep about it. It's a gorgeous bag that already has sentimental attachment to it. I've always thought you had a great Hermes SA. This is such a special send off. Relax and enjoy it as much as you enjoy your C22. 🥰👍❤
Congrats again Kat! Actually the bag looks better with the scratches and they blend into the bag over time . The used bag look makes it look more heritage. I haven’t used mine in rain but I’ve had AC water drop on it. As long as you wipe it away right away it should be okay. I keep a nano bag inside at all times in case it rains.
It’s beautiful my lady!!!! 🖤 don’t be scared, box is durable like lambskin, u can buff out marks. I have a vintage 19 yrs old k32 box gold HW. Love it & it’s my favorite. 😍 enjoy enjoy & don’t use any H bags in the rain. ❤️🍊😘😘😘Sandy
White gold can mix with either yellow or rose gold. Because it's white, it will go with both. I dont mix yellow with rose gold though. I mostly have white gold. I personally think diamonds should be with white gold. Sets off the diamond better. Yellow gold will make rhe diamond look more yellow.
It’s so gorgeous! Box with gold will never go wrong and it ages beautifully with patina as compared to palladium. Scratches do get not obvious when the patina sets in. Do enjoy it and keep it away from water.
congrats again babe!!! it is beautiful and we are triplets with eileen 🥰🥰 don’t worry about the scratches la, it gives it character. and i agree take the mirror out. i once dropped it on the floor and since then it has not lived in my bag lol
Yayyyy it’s beautiful!! I received a black box mini Kelly with PHW last year and felt exactly the same - for the first year I babied it soooo much and would never let my dog within one room radius of it 😂 Now I’m a little less fearful and bring it out for casual occasions too and it’s just perfect. So happy for your Constance ❤
It DEFINITELY scratches easily though. I always have short, trim nails too, but somehow a new small scratch shows up each time. But to be honest, no one can see and eventually you can just take it to the spa!
I have both gold and white gold jewellery and I mix when I wear them. The gold hardware looks very nice on the black Constance. Personally, I am not convinced that palladium hardware looks better on the bag. It looks more casual.
I got a constance 18 black with palladium hardware in evercolor leather. I still haven’t taken it out because the leather looks delicate to me compare to my chanel caviar. All my jewelry is gold but it’s not going to stop me when i’m ready to take it out 😂.
Girl that bag is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G 😮🎉😮 Bought a vintage version (29 years) of the same bag in same specs, and I am on whaouuu with it and impressed with how box leather ages. And I kid you not, was thinking of adding a C18 in black box/swift with PHW as well 😂 And don’t get me wrong: if I am offered the same bag with PHW ai will snap it without blinking an eye 😂
Omg I feel like you won the lottery with Hermes congraaaats 😂❤️ my honest opinion is keep it dont ever doubt that bag think LOOOONG term when your much much much older this bag is going to be a gem amongst all your bags
I think palladium would give it a more day time, casual look whilst the gold elevates it and gives it a more elegant feel. Guess it depends which look you want or when you would mostly carry the bag. You think too much about resale value, Kat! 😂 Just use this one and let it patina.
Beautiful box leather Constance! I have no box leather stuff but I think u should just use it and characterize it to be you. Scratches could be buffed out I heard.
Congrats, Kat!! I love it! I hear ya on the dilemma about the palladium vs gold hardware though..I struggle with the same all the time haha I’m obsessed with palladium right now but gold is always classic your new Constance will look amazing with all your jewelry no matter the color Wish I could speak to the box leather but unfortunately I have no experience. Probably easier said than done but just enjoy the bag! Any wear and tear will add to the character! (That’s what I always tell myself with my luxury pieces haha makes me feel better when it scratches.. 😉) 🩷🩷
I just think of the scratches as memories or love scratches and wear it whenever you want! Life is short! ☺️💕
Your bag is absolutely beautiful. Don’t be afraid to use it. Enjoy and use the things that make you happy because life is too short.
black and gold is THE combination. You made the right choice Kat, no regrets!
Congrats on the bag! Wishing for a black Box K28 w/ Palladium for that modernized heritage look

So true!
I love it! So classic. Yes the box leather can be a bit prone to scratches, but overtime it just develops the most beautiful sheen. Enjoy!❤
I love your bag it’s a classic and chic and goes casual and formal! Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾🎉
The shine on the box leather looks absolutely divine! So classic🙌🏼

I agree that box needs to go with gold. It's more classic. Congratulations, Kat❤
Kat did you sell your MK in mushrooms as well ? 🐇💖
heheheheeh! it's gone because i haven't reveal something haha
@@KatL Gosh if I knew you were selling it 😭💔 is it because you made MK as your SO?
Omg I adore box leather and imo it needs gold hardware! Congrats!❤
So pretty Kat🎉
Your former SA was so sweet..
Sigh, but hoping you will meet another wonderful SA.
Beautiful bag 😊🖤

My dream bag
The Constance bag is absolutely gorgeous, it's the kind of dream bag everyone desires and searches for. You have such great taste!
Such a beauty 😍 please don’t sell her away 🥰😆

Sell it Kat. Get what you want. It’s so obvious 🙏🏼
Wow another Hermes bag.
Like Loren Allred iconic song...Never Enough..Never..Never..😂😂
🖤🖤🖤
❤
Yea. Palladium would have been better for ‘you’ for someone who has a collection. For variety. You say you are happy….you didn’t look to happy. 😢
Yay first 🎉
I feel black with gold hardware is more classy.
