FAQs
Is the Niki Small Shopping Bag heavy?
No, it is specifically designed to be lightweight, making it an excellent option for all-day carry.
Can I carry this bag as a crossbody?
The strap is primarily designed for shoulder carry, which provides the most ergonomic experience given the bag's shape.
How should I clean the Cassandre logo?
Wipe the logo gently with a dry, soft cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the best way to store the bag?
Always store the bag in its dust bag to protect the leather, and ensure it is kept in an upright position in a temperature-controlled environment.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most luxury leather goods, it may soften slightly with use, but the chevron stitching helps the bag retain its intended structure.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth and a high-quality leather cream designed for delicate leathers to buff the area gently.
Chain straps feel stiff
Gently manipulate the links to ensure they are not tangled or pinched; store the bag with the straps tucked inside to prevent external surface indentations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bag maintains its appearance, store it in the provided dust bag when not in use, keeping it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or water, as these can permanently stain the leather. For daily maintenance, wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather begins to look dull, consider a professional leather conditioner formulated for luxury goods, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. The hardware can be polished occasionally with a lint-free microfiber cloth to maintain its luster.
