Last time we spoke about the French accessory brand Bleu de Chauffe was to introduce you their know-how in creating bags inspired from the 20th century’s workwear tradition. Today I’d like to present their new Musette collection that has just come out.

Originally carried by soldiers, Bleu de chauffe revisited the Musette bag and redesigned it in a very chic and urban fashion. Made of canvas cotton and organic leather the Musette presents cool additional features for more comfort and space: two outside pockets and a removable inside zipped pocket.

Large enough to carry books, and even painting accessories (size 35 cm x 25 cm x 10 cm), the Musette is made to be reinvented for any practical use. Three models complete the collection : Musette Mariole, Musette Gavroche, and the shopping bag Iris, all available in indigo, chamois and black colors. My heart melts for the indigo Gavroche. Instead of putting on a jacket in the summer to carry out my wallet, cellphone and sunglasses, I’ll just put everything inside the Musette and go ride with just a t-shirt on!

Bleu de Chauffe Plombier bag

Did someone ever present you Bleu de Chauffe? This brand specialized in creating bags inspired from those carried by workers during the 20th century? First, you have to know that 100% of the production is made in France, in the Larzac and Sorgues Valleys. Then, know that all the materials used for their creations are carefully selected: French vegetally tanned leather (from Aveyron), hand-crafted metallic pieces, still from France and same for the canvas. All of that is produced in a socially responsible approach, using local firms and respecting environmental issues.

Among the new colelction we have spotted the Louise Plombier bag. It is made of 100% vegetable tanned leather and features a canvas internal pocket (signed by the hand of the craftsman) to put your plumber or city dweller tools. We really like its old-school style, in phase with the current “workwear” trend. Having seen, handled and stroked it in real life, I can say how fine is the finish and how its leather smells good! What a nice bag wit such a reasonable price from some made in France item.

€279 from Menlook
