Saint Laurent Niki Medium Shopping Tote in Crinkled Vintage Leather

This is a luxury designer handbag from Saint Laurent, specifically identified as the Niki Shopping Bag model. The item is crafted from signature black chrome-tanned calfskin leather with a distinctively crinkled, aged finish often referred to as 'vintage leather' or 'matelassé' effect. The bag features a structured square silhouette with tonal overstitched chevron quilting across the front and back panels. A central tonal leather-encased YSL monogram logo is prominently displayed on the front. It is equipped with dual chain-and-leather shoulder straps that pass through four metal grommets at the top, allowing for comfortable wear. The hardware is finished in a brushed or antiqued ruthenium-tone, which complements the distressed leather texture. Based on visual inspection, the item shows moderate wear including softening of the leather structure at the base and corners, and some minor scratching or patina on the metal grommets. The interior typically features a main compartment with a zip pocket and patch pocket, lined in textile. This style is part of Saint Laurent's contemporary permanent collection, representing a modern industrial luxury aesthetic with high-quality craftsmanship in the stitching and specialized leather treatment.
