Savette Tondo Bags: The Tondo 22, Crescent and Tondo Hobo

Tondo is the Renaissance name for a round painting, and Savette’s Tondo bags are the curved counterpart to the strict Symmetry line. They close with the Tondo magnetic lock. Shop them on the Savette page and in our hobo bag edit, and compare them with the straight-lined families in our Savette Bags: A Guide to Every Family and Which One to Buy.

Tondo 22

The anchor of the family, 22 cm wide and 16.5 cm high, worn on the shoulder. The current version has a single compartment, which keeps it light and roomy. It holds a phone, a wallet, keys and sunglasses.

Tondo Crescent

A petite, stylised version of the Tondo 22 at 20 cm, with one compartment. It is the evening and weekend bag of the family.

Small and Large Tondo Hobo

The hobos take the Tondo curve into a soft shape lined in suede. The Small Tondo Hobo, 27 by 21 cm, is the most searched Tondo style; the Large Tondo Hobo is among the roomiest bags Savette makes, with a slightly sporty, hunting-bag ease. Both are a strong choice in suede, which we cover across brands in Suede Hobo Bags: The Best Designer Styles This Season.

How to wear Tondo

The round shape softens sharp tailoring, so try a Tondo 22 with a double-breasted coat. The hobos sit best with relaxed knits and denim. In suede, pick a deep shade such as coffee, which hides wear and looks richer in autumn light.
