About the Wave Bag
Introduced in the mid-2000s, the Wave Bag takes its name from the undulating wave-shaped topstitching that runs across its front panel, a hallmark of Tod's decorative leatherwork, pairing soft hobo and shoulder-bag shapes with the brand's driving-shoe-grade leather quality.

Frequently asked questions
- What makes the Wave Bag different from other Tod's hobos?
- Its signature is the wave-pattern stitching across the body of the bag, a decorative topstitch technique that distinguishes it from Tod's smoother, more minimal lines like the D Bag.
- Is the Wave Bag a good everyday bag?
- Yes, it was designed as a soft, slouchy shoulder bag or hobo for daily use, though soft, unstructured leather can show wear faster than structured totes.
Tod's (est. 1920) — Italian leather goods house built on driving-shoe craftsmanship; its handbags hold moderate resale value, supported by consistent tanning and stitching quality rather than trend-chasing.
