I have a regular Nikki an my friend has a mini Nikki. At my height/weight, I found the mini to be way too mini. Here I am with a regular Nikki (sorry for everyone bored of these same pictures), I am no stranger to big bags though....

I pulled my pictures from early December. I'm modeling the mini nikki in purple with winter coat. I'm only 5' 1". I have three mini's but will not purchase it again. I've gotten used to carrying my bags by hand because on the shoulder it keeps falling. The strap is simply too short.
I still adore my babies!

The Mini Nikki dosn't look too mini. I like it! I think it will work better for me. I am about 5'6 and I weigh about 117lbs.. I'm not short but big bags still overpower me. Thank you for ALL of your help - you have answered my question!

kellykapoor, if you don't mind my asking -- how tall are you? I am thinking, seriously thinking about this bag...

So sorry! I found your height in another post :P sorry again for the bother!

For those of you looking for ideas about the sizes of the Nikki and mini Nikki, these pictures make for an excellent reference point.

Do you find that the strap slips off your shoulder when you're wearing something thick like a coat, or all the time? I was thinking about getting a mini nikki when they make an appearance again, but that would be a deal breaker. It would drive me nuts.

Does anyone have the measurements of the mini nikki?

I totally forgot about this thread! I ended up getting a mini nikki and it was too small for my taste..

I am now currently awaiting the arrival of my wine (reg) nikki

Here are some comparison/modeling pics..I am 5'7" and about 135 lbs for reference...The mini still holds quite a bit, but was too small for me I returned it..I love the regular Nikki..It looks good with little stuff or with a lot of stuff in it..
