Saint Laurent YSL Niki Bag

I tried on the mini Niki in the store today. I love how it looks and there’s plenty of room for essentials. But the magnetic clasp was SO strong like some others have commented that I decided not to get the bag ☹️ I’d be afraid of opening the bag too many times and yanking on the leather. So for now I will continue to admire everyone else’s bags from afar!
I wouldn't let the magnet deter you. Mine was initially very strong but has relaxed with normal use to the point that it is not even noticeable now.....and I didn't do anything other than leave the protective plastic on the bottom clasp that came with it. No issues with the leather around that area either.

Does anyone have the Niki Tote? I'm curious to see how it drapes. The straps are far apart so I'm wondering that looks when it's carried--the photos show it holds its shape but that seems unlikely.

Thanks! :flowers:

I have this tote and it’s stiff enough that it holds its shape when carried. It doesn’t quite “drape” since it’s not that soft which I like, but it’s also not a very stiff either. If that explains anything :huh:

Yes, thank you for the reply! :flowers:

Do you love it? Any cons? Like, is it heavy? Has it held up since you've been using it?

Any chance you could post a picture--holding it by the handles? I know not everyone posts pix but if you could that would be helpful. :biggrin:

Thank you. That’s good to know!! Might consider getting one again it’s such a beautiful bag!!
 
Hello, I'm hoping someone with a large Niki could lend me a hand with some info.

I purchased a pre-loved bag that was identified as a large Niki, but right off, it seems smaller to me than the large Niki I tried on in the Saint Laurent store. It only measures 12 inches across, instead of the 12.5 advertised, unless i stuff and stretch the sides of the bag and then I can weasel out another half to three quarters of an inch.

The rest of the authenticity markers look ok, although it is a pre-loved bag and the serial number tag is quite rubbed so I can't read the serial number very much at all. also, the "made in italy" on the serial number tag sewn into the lower part of the inner pocket is in lowercase, not uppercase like I've seen on the few Niki bags posted with photos of the serial number tag.

Can anyone with a large Niki measure their bag laying flat and let me know if it is a true and "easy" 12.5 inches (31.75cm), or do you have to manipulate the bag to get to that dimension? I would really appreciate the help! There are so many clever fakes, especially in this brand, it seems, I am wary of a bag that is coming up a full half inch short of official measurements. The height of the bag is an easy 9 inches, which is consistent with specification for this bag.

Thank you :smile:

I just love the Niki bag the more and more I see it. It’s getting harder to resist. :smile:

There seems to be a Mini Niki Bag now. But I can’t seem to find it on the official YSL website. Does anyone have any intel on this bag? Maybe not released yet?
