bleu de chauffe



Oh no, I am liking everything about Bleu de Chauffe. Really nice website alert: selling lovely bags, great back-story (Bleu de Chauffe is the blue workwear jacket that the steam train conductors wore when heating the water and making the pressure rise, but also the name still used today for workwear worn by French manual workers), photography that looks oh so French and it is all made in France. With each item individually branded on the inside you are owning not only beautiful craftsmanship, but a unique piece. Drawing inspiration from a vintage postman's bag or an electrician's holdall from the 50s and 60s, this eco-friendly company uses only plant based dyes and has a low carbon footprint. Fabrication Française at its very best.
