Niki

Name: Saint Laurent Niki Mini
Brand: Saint Laurent

Catalogued June 2026

The Niki is Saint Laurent's slouchy quilted shoulder bag, introduced in the spring/summer 2018 collection under Anthony Vaccarello. It has a soft, vintage-look crinkled leather body with tonal chevron and diamond quilting, a front flap with a concealed magnetic closure, and the metal YSL Cassandre logo, worn on an adjustable leather strap. It comes in sizes from mini to large and reads as a relaxed, everyday counterpoint to the structured LouLou.
