I got my medium Niki today in dark grey and I’m soooooo in love, I’m seriously considering getting another in white so I can wear this bag with every single outfit. Anyone have this bag in white and can attest to its wear and tear? I worry a bit about color transfer. But then again, since this is in grey and not black, I could probably make this color work even with my lighter colored outfits. The bag is also a bit heavier than I expected as the chain is quite hefty. But other than that, this bag is such a perfect size and has that rare quality that is so hard to find in luxury handbags….an outer pocket for your phone!! I’m hoping the heaviness isn’t going to be too much of an issue for me because in every other way, I think this it’s perfect 😍 like a Balenciaga city bag had a baby with a Chanel flap bag

Absolutely stunning!

She's gorgeous 😍 I was deciding between this color and the beige. I already have 2 dark grey bags so my SA suggested I get the beige one instead but I'm still lusting after this one lol

So glad I found this thread because I absolutely love my Baby Niki 🥰

Hi- While researching the baby Niki bag I came across your post and your beautiful bag! I am interested in a black one, not sure which chain color I should go with ?? I love the antique gold and the blackish silver color! Do you have ant thoughts? I haven't seem it in person. Thanks you

Hiii there! What kind of hardware do you have most in your handbag collection? I tend to like to mix it up a bit and have a variety of hardware colors in my collection to go with my mood that day 😝
You really can’t go wrong with antique gold or the dark tone silver—both hardware gives the bag its own charm and style. It really comes down to your wardrobe and how you plan on using your bag. I use my baby Nikki bag most often to work so I chose the antique hardware.

I just received my Niki Baby in Caramel and noticed what looks like popped leather due to possibly wrapping it too tight. It’s accross the bottom and some on the sides. Do you think this will be a problem and I should exchange it?

Nice color!
Well, these tight stitches are common. It is to some extend unavoidable in certain styles, I guess.
BUT; some leather finishes and colors show it more than others.
I’ve also returned bags that had those tight stitches where the leather was visibly stressed and looked faded.

I would say it depends on your personal tolerance.
But the issue could appear on an exchanged bag as well.

I just got one at Christmas. Super happy with it so light and you can fits lots in it.

I wanted something like my Chanel bag but for every day use. My YSL bag is the medium size it does fit a lot more than the Chanel jumbo.

Does anyone use a base shaper in their Niki. My medium size bag is a little over 2 years old and the back of the base is misshaped. Will using a base shaper help straighten it out?
