Today I'm going to talk about a once hot bag that many girls are now hesitating to continue buying-YSL Niki.

 

It is another masterpiece of Antony Vaccarello after the loulou bag, and the whole fashion curve is very similar to the LV metis bag. It was hard to get a bag when it was first launched, and now the heat is slowly passing, but there are still many people who continue to buy it because of its very practical design. Compared with metis, Niki's hot cycle is shorter. Everyone must be very familiar with this product launched in the spring and summer of 2018. I won't repeat the basic information. I want to share with you the comparison and advantages and disadvantages of this bag VS several similar bags.

 

 

Advantages

 

 1. Durable

The middle size of Niki is a very classic commuting size. Its leather is 100% calfskin, which is also called Crinkled Vintage Leather. Its aging effect makes the bag looks not so boring, and slight scratches will not be easily seen and leave marks; the chain is also the texture of aging. This kind of leather and chain, with a 5-8 year use, is still not easy to have traces of use compared to other bags, so its first advantage is very obvious, that is, durability.

 

2. Large Capacity

The second advantage is that this bag has a large capacity. The Diane, which is smaller than Niki but can also be used for commuting, has one less front pocket than Niki. Please don't underestimate this pocket, because it is three-dimensional, so the capacity is very considerable. Similar sized bags include Chanel large 19, not only 19 The inner bag is less than Niki, and the weight is not as light as Niki. Of course, the weight of these two bags mainly depends on the chain. The same size bag, the softer and thinner the leather, the larger the capacity, so the second feature of Niki is the large capacity of the partition;


3. Versatile

The third advantage is that this bag is so easy to match clothes. Its original design was somewhat punk or rock, and the same material will make people think of the motorcycle bag in the early years, but because of the bag type, Logo and chain retro elements added, people will feel that Niki is very casual, so girls who have used this bag will definitely tell you: As long as it is not too sexy, in addition to this, how to match it Sweet, cool, sports, casual, office lady, whatever, it won't be discordant.


 

Disadvantages

 

Having said the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages.

The first is the complaint of everyone who has used this bag, that the buckle is too tight. But as a big bag, I think this point is completely understandable, it's better than bags like LV neverfull without zippers and buckles, and accidentally scatter the things in the bag.

The second, I think it is more important to me, is also the common problem of all soft-cover bags: the middle collapse and the edges of the cover are bulging. The larger the bag, the more obvious the problem is, but it is not deformed, because it has no shape, but it will be very slow when worn. In the new version of 2020, the D-shaped buckle was added, and the force point was placed on both sides, which improved the collapse problem, but it was not completely solved. In fact, there is a way to use a thicker inner bag to support the shape of the bag without shape, so that the force is more uniform, but I think this has erased the advantage of the lightness of the commuting bag, it seems that there is no need for this, right? Although metis is a relatively shaped bag, the coated canvas is different from the leather bag. After a long time, it will also have bulging problems. In recent years, the most serious bulging in LV products is the Dauphine bag. Under the same size of the bag, the V-shaped cover design will be more beautiful than the one-word cover design after a long time.


Third, although this bag can be shoulder-back, Gabrielle-back, and slanted, the metal chain is too long, and the slanting makes people under 170cm in height very embarrassed. Of course, not only this bag, the long chain is a common problem of YSL. In this respect, Chanel 19 and many other similar size bags are more suitable for Asians. Many people say that the shoulder strap of the new version of NIKI has become shorter, but in fact, only the D-shaped buckle has been added, and the shape of the bag has changed slightly after wearing, and the length of the chain is still 56 sections; as for the Gabrielle-back method, it comes from the Gabrielle bag. I don't know what you feels. I think it's really strange to use the Gabrielle-back method to carry Niki, and this back method has long been out of date. So Single Shoulder is the best for this Bag!



In summary, if you are just want to taking pictures, for catching up with the heat, or for concave modeling, this bag that has been popular since 2018 is not so fashionable now; but if you just want to buy a commuting daily bag, I still strongly recommend Niki.

Looking forward to the comments from sisters who have used this bag or are interested in it!
