The Savette Symmetry Pochette: Sizes, Leathers and How to Wear It

The Symmetry Pochette is the bag that made Savette’s name: a flat-topped rectangle with one leather handle and a sculptural turnlock. Coveti carries it in several leathers and shades on the Savette page, alongside the wider top-handle bag edit. For the rest of the range, see our Savette Bags: A Guide to Every Family and Which One to Buy.

How big is it?

The Pochette measures 22 cm long, 12 cm high and 7 cm deep. It holds a phone, a slim card holder, keys and a lipstick, with one pocket inside. It is small, so if you need a wallet and sunglasses as well, look at the Slim Pochette at 27 cm, the Symmetry 26 and the Florence 25.

The versions

Symmetry Pochette: the original, carried by hand and in the crook of the arm. Slim Symmetry Pochette: longer and narrower, closer to an east-west bag (our East West Bags: The Long, Slim Shape to Know edit shows the shape across brands). Symmetry Chain Pochette: the same bag on a chain, worn across the body. Trapeze Pochette: a flared, softer body. With Leather-Inset Lock: the turnlock covered in matching leather for an even quieter look.

Which leather?

Smooth calf is the classic and the easiest to care for. Suede is softer and brings out colour, so it is the leather for shades like baltic, cactus and sepia. Raffia and canvas are summer versions. Eel, lizard and the limited crocodile edition are covered in Savette Exotic Bags: Crocodile, Lizard and Eel.

How to wear it

The Pochette works best with clean lines: a long coat, wide trousers, a fine knit. In the evening it pairs with a slip dress. Keep jewellery simple, because the turnlock already does the work of a statement piece. For more ideas, see our guide to quiet luxury bags.

Frequently asked questions

What fits in the Savette Symmetry Pochette?

A smartphone, a slim card holder, keys and a few essentials such as a lipstick.

Can you wear the Symmetry Pochette crossbody?

The classic Pochette has only a top handle. For crossbody wear, choose the Symmetry Chain Pochette, which has a chain strap.

What is the difference between the Pochette and the Slim Pochette?

The Slim Pochette is longer and narrower, 27 by 11 by 7 cm against 22 by 12 by 7 cm, so it holds a little more and reads as an east-west shape.

Where is the Symmetry Pochette made?

Like every Savette bag, it is made by hand outside Florence, Italy.
