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 this Saint Laurent Niki Croc Patent Chain Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 x 20 x 9 cm, this bag is a practical day-to-evening size. It will usually fit a mobile phone, a long wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, a passport, and a small cosmetics pouch. It is not the right size for a laptop or A4 documents, so please use the measurements on this page to judge your own essentials.
Q: Is this considered a classic or medium Niki size? A: Yes. Based on the listed dimensions, this piece sits in the classic medium Niki range. It offers the relaxed, slouchy Niki look while still being roomy enough for daily essentials.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This bag features a chain shoulder strap with leather shoulder pads. The Niki line is known for versatile chain styling, and this item has a listed strap drop of approximately 29.5 cm. We recommend comparing that measurement with a bag you already own to see where it will sit on your frame.
Q: Does it have secure closure and internal organisation? A: Yes. It has a magnetic flap closure and a black fabric lining with one internal pocket, which helps keep smaller essentials separate from the main compartment.
Q: What is the condition of this pre-owned bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior is in good condition with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a pre-owned piece, minor signs of wear are normal and part of its character.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. If any additional original items are not listed on the product page, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for crocodile-embossed patent leather? A: Patent leather is best maintained by gently wiping it with a soft cloth and, when needed, a little mild soap and water. Avoid bleach, acetone, vinegar, rough rubbing, and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. Store it in its dust bag and keep it away from dark or textured materials that may mark or transfer onto the glossy surface.
Q: Is patent leather more prone to marks than regular leather? A: Yes. Patent leather has a glossy coated finish, so fingerprints, surface scratches, and scuffs can show more readily than on matte leather. It can also become tacky if stored badly or exposed to heat, humidity, or unsuitable cleaning products, so gentle care and dry storage are especially important.
Q: How do you authenticate Saint Laurent bags? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is checked by experts before sale. For Saint Laurent Niki bags, authentication typically focuses on details such as the leather, stitching, logo, magnetic closure, chain, labels, and overall construction.
