FAQs
Can this bag be cleaned with water?
No, avoid using water or household cleaning agents on the leather. Use only professional leather care products.
Is the bag large enough for a laptop?
It is designed as a shopping tote and can accommodate small tablets or slim laptops, though it is primarily sized for personal essentials.
Are the chain straps removable?
No, the chain straps are integrated into the design of the bag and are not intended to be removed.
How should I store the bag to maintain its shape?
Keep the bag stuffed with acid-free tissue paper and stored upright in its dust bag to prevent the leather from sagging.
Does the hardware rust easily?
The hardware features an antique finish which is designed to resist rust, but it should still be kept away from prolonged contact with liquids.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a high-quality, neutral leather conditioner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Chain straps feeling stiff or sticking
Ensure the sliding mechanism is free of debris; you may lightly wipe the chain links with a dry microfiber cloth to ensure smooth movement.
Magnetic closure not snapping firmly
Check the interior for items that might be obstructing the magnetic plates or ensure the bag is not overstuffed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Niki bag in excellent condition, store it in the provided dust bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing the leather to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme moisture, which can degrade the finish. If the leather becomes wet, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry naturally away from heat sources. For the metallic components, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently remove fingerprints or surface dust. Avoid overloading the bag with excessively heavy items, as this may stretch the leather and put undue stress on the chain strap attachment points.
