Saint Laurent Niki Bag is also referred to as Niki Bag. Searching for IG or Youtube has a variety of outfits and unpacking videos. This time I started at the Central Embassy counter of Bangkok Noblewoman Department Store, and finally found a large-capacity and good-back mother bag, but is it worth it? Buy international boutiques?Let me share and explain with you one by one!
Saint Laurent Niki Bag, representative of unruly bags
At the beginning, let us first understand why this bag can cause celebrities and IG celebrities to scramble to use and share.This bag originated from Saint Laurent (called YSL) who hired Anthony Vaccarello as the creative director in 2016. His first masterpiece, with the previous Hedi Slimane taking a strong personal style route for the brand and receiving high praise, how to break through Owning brand customer preferences is a difficult problem.
Nowadays, international boutiques have recruited young designers to serve as creative directors, hoping to create a new look from the inside out. Anthony Vaccarello has converted into Saint Laurent with dark, irregular lines, Cool & Sexy, etc., trying to create a woman's firm and confident side. Therefore, it is reflected in clothing accessories, bags or shoes, and feels the beauty of ease and ingenuity.

Hesitation between Niki Bag and College Monogram
When traveling with a small hamburger, you will only use the backpack unless you have to carry a laptop to work outside. I really don’t want to use the air bag that is known as the "mother bag". The air bag is changed to a side backpack and a canvas bag. The former has a larger capacity. Hold long clips, mobile phones, personal items, the latter are small hamburger diapers, tableware, bibs, tissues. Unfortunately, Taiwanese boutiques do not like to enter large-size bags, such as: LV Speedy 40, Chanel Coco Handle 33, etc.
The little girl said that she likes Saint Laurent Niki Bag very much recently. She always prefers neutral and handsome styles, so I searched the Internet and read the information shared by many people, and the result...returned to the pit (is it too easy?), I have seen Chanel chain bags in the past. For example, the common Boy and 2.55 are not in my starting list, too many people have it, and the rate of hitting the bag is high. I did not expect that Niki Bag can make different styles. The image of the official website is very straightforward.
It’s just that after going to the scene to see the real product, which one is better than the College Monogram?Libra's choice disorder reappears...
▲ Both of these are big bags, so there is one more choice for mothers!
The first time I bought a boutique bag in Bangkok, I finally met the cold eye cabinet sister and the enthusiastic cabinet brother
You must do your homework when you buy something. In addition to your experience, the most important thing is the "price". I have read online information and mentioned that it is cost-effective to buy international boutiques in Thailand. Tax rebates and exchange differences can be calculated as an investment. At that time, it was calculated. After that, the price is about 6 to 7,000 cheaper than the counters in Taiwan, so I can go directly to the counters of Noble Women's Department Stores to see the actual products.
When I first went in, the two cabinet sisters ignored them. I wanted to see the big Niki Bag and the college bag. There was a cabinet brother to greet us. The boy was very enthusiastic to explain the characteristics of the two. I always asked me to carry a few more colors before deciding. , But I just can’t make a decision. After explaining the purpose and usual wear to him, Guige recommends starting with Niki Bag from his perspective, saying that the design of wrinkled leather is the most special, and no other brand has such a design.
After deciding to purchase, he assisted in filling out the tax refund form and chatting to know that he was working at the counter on the first day. Personally, he was more sure of his performance. It is worth recommending to you for your reference. It's not wrong to find his service!

How to apply for tax refund and precautions for buying fine products in Thailand
Basically, shopping at boutique counters can be divided into two types: tax-free and tax-free. The former is the simplest. After showing the passport, the counter staff will sell the goods at the tax-free price; while the latter needs to fill in the tax refund form and organize the order documents. It will also help you to serve you well, no need to worry about the information being wrong, remember to collect the receipt and take it with you to the airport for tax refund.
Okay, here comes the focus~ I believe friends who have traveled to Bangkok, Thailand know how efficient the airport customs and official duties are. I strongly recommend it!Due to the high unit price of the boutique, the tax refund amount is naturally not low, so be sure to get the tax refund at the airport early!Because you have to pass the customs entry and exit inspection, you need to bring your passport, tax refund form, etc. to receive the "tax refund cash." The number of people in the queue has exploded, so be sure to arrive at the airport early. (Say 100 times)

Saint Laurent Niki Bag unpacking and sharing experience
After returning to the hotel, I immediately took a record of the unboxing. The more I like this bag, the more beautiful the leather is. The hardware is treated with distressed matte silver, and the black mountain-shaped stitching makes the bag less rigid.It’s been about 9 months since I started using it. It’s lightweight and not as heavy as a full leather bag. With the addition of a large and a small compartment and a back interlayer, it can hold envelope-shaped long clips, iPhone 11 por max, small storage bags, etc. , My mother said this bag is a good choice!

Conclusion
In response to the "price" mentioned earlier, this article must not encourage everyone to swarm to Bangkok to buy boutiques, but to sort out the purchase process and experience. I hope that novice readers will do their homework and have other arguments for reference (compare "Buying boutiques in Bangkok" Cost-effective").The next step is what I think is the "painful experience". I will explain one by one from "buying more than a few boutiques". After all, hard work always has to be calculated carefully. People who see this part will earn it!
1. Brand fixed discount season: I started this bag in mid-April, and it didn’t take long for my former colleague IG (Goris.sky) to see that the mid-year seasonal discount was 6% off. The Niki Bag is not in the discount list, but other styles have the following Discount, I suggest you collect all the information.
2. Foreign e-commerce discount season: Every Thanksgiving to the end of Christmas, it is an important time for foreign brands to make discounts. Foreign e-commerce websites also offer Double 11 and Double 12, free shipping on full amount, VIP exclusive discount code, and limited time Special offers and so on, coupled with the lower euro exchange rate, usually set a 6% discount for Taiwan counters.
3. Second-hand boutique sales clubs: There are many Facebook clubs of this type. It is important to choose proper management and protect members. I often sell off Niki Bag and Baby Niki in a large second-hand boutique club. 9% of the new state prices are almost all They are sold in half, and some are not even used. If you want to find high-quality bags, you can go here to dig treasures.
