This summer, I was on a mission to find the perfect tote bag. The challenge was finding one that checked my Virgo laundry list of requirements. It had to be big enough for my entire life (because let's be real, who doesn't need a bag that can hold everything?), but not so big that I looked like I was heading to summer camp. I wanted something timeless and unique, with a perfect blend of slouchy and structured. Oh, and did I mention it absolutely had to have silver hardware? I'm a silver girl through and through! After several weeks of researching and trying on, I was about to give up. Then, like a miracle, the Savette Tondo bag appeared from the heavens and onto my phone screen as I was scrolling through the depths of Net-a-Porter. It was love at first sight, and I purchased her immediately!

Let's talk about why the Savette Tondo bag has become one of my favorite purchases to date. First of all, the size is everything. I can fit 5 times more than what my Chanel medium flap can hold! It's big enough to fit all of my daily essentials and more (phone, wallet, keys, alkaline water, Touchland, Kindle, Emi Jay clip, Erewhon burrito, crystals, all 10 Prada and Dior lip products) but still looks sleek and chic (especially on my 5’1 petite frame). This was of utmost importance to me, as essentially every other tote I tried on was too bulky and wide for me. The strap is adjustable, so it hangs perfectly adjacent to my hip. There is a nifty pocket inside the bag so I have easy access to my ID and credit cards without having to rummage around. The black suede is buttery soft and utterly gorgeous, and the silver hardware truly emulates the perfect luxe finishing touch.

The creative genius behind Savette is what truly sets it apart. Founded by Amy Zurek, a former designer for The Row and Khaite (you can definitely see the style influence!), Savette was born from a desire to create timeless pieces that can be passed down through generations of women. Each handbag is handmade right outside of Florence. With a focus on the highest of quality leather and craftsmanship, Savette is a testament to enduring style. The brand was established very recently in 2020, so I feel as though I am a part of a secret cool girl club before it blows up. It is perfect for anyone on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind handbag that not everyone knows about or has. You can read more on Amy and Savette in this Cultured Mag article.

I have compiled links below to various sites selling the Savette Tondo including the Savette store, and added all color and hardware variations! I hope you love yours as much as I do! XO

P.S. For anyone in the market for a small handbag, the Savette pochette is a crowd pleaser!
