Perfect for city weekends and dinner dates, this Saint Laurent Small Niki in khaki green crinkled leather with a tonal monogram brings polished edge to any look. The sliding chain strap lets you switch from shoulder to crossbody, while its compact interior keeps essentials organised from day to night.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Small Niki bag? A: With approximate measurements of 22 × 19 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, and a few small beauty items. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it both crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The sliding chain strap with leather shoulder pads lets you wear it doubled on the shoulder or long as a crossbody. For this piece, the approximate strap drop is 33 cm when doubled and 59 cm when worn long, offering versatile styling for different heights and layers.
Q: How does this size compare to other Niki sizes? A: The Niki line comes in several sizes. As context, the Baby/Small flap is around 21 × 16 × 7.5 cm, while the Medium is about 28 × 20 × 8.5 cm. At 22 × 19 × 8 cm, this piece sits between Baby and Medium in capacity. If you’re unsure, compare these figures with what you usually carry.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The Niki typically features two main compartments with a zipped pocket, an additional slip pocket under the flap, and a large back slip pocket for quick access items. Layouts can vary slightly by season; please check our photos and product information for the specific interior of this item.
Q: Is the crinkled vintage leather durable? A: The Niki’s crinkled, vintage-effect leather is designed to be hard-wearing and to disguise minor scratches from daily use. Many owners find it more carefree than smoother leathers, though all leather should still be treated thoughtfully and kept away from sharp or abrasive surfaces.
Q: Any care tips to keep it looking its best? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and allow any light moisture to air-dry naturally. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, oils, perfumes, or direct heat/sunlight, and minimise contact with dark denim or saturated fabrics to reduce the risk of colour transfer. Store it stuffed to hold its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable and does it feel heavy? A: The chain gives the Niki its signature look and some weight; the leather shoulder pads help with comfort. Most find it comfortable for everyday wear, though like many chain straps it can feel heavier on bare shoulders during long periods. Doubling the strap on the shoulder can help distribute weight.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets are most useful on the go? A: The flap fastens with a magnetic closure for quick but secure access. Many users keep frequently used items in the under‑flap or back slip pocket, and reserve the zipped pocket for valuables like keys or small jewellery when travelling.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate and what does Very Good Condition mean here? A: Every piece is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. Very Good Condition indicates light, well‑kept wear consistent with careful use; for this item, expect a light trace of use on the exterior, shiny hardware with light scratches, and lining showing light wear on a seam. Please review our photos and notes for full product information.
