Bleu de Chauffe has created camera bags with shoulder straps or handles as well as vegetable tanned leather messenger bags in a variety of sizes to cover all your needs.
The Arles bag, whose name is an homage to the famous “Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles” (Arles Photography Festival), is the largest and most voluminous. The smaller Bologne bag is named after the Foto /Industria, the biennial of photography on industry and work of Bologna.
Both bags have been made to carry reflex and hybrid reflex devices. Their comfort has been largely improved thanks to the reinforced shoulder pads. Their construction and their pinched flaps have been designed to protect the interior of the bags from harsh weather. Moreover, access to the contents of the bag has been made easy with the quick opening and the thanks to the buttons hidden under the roll buckle.
The interior of the Arles and Bologne bags have been designed with the most demanding photographers in mind, with numerous reinforced and cushioned compartments to protect the camera, lenses, filters, and even laptop computers (iPad for the Bologne, and 13-inch computer for the Arles). Pouches have been added for the storage of SD cards and USDB sticks.
The interior dividing pouches optimize storage, and several dividers are delivered with the bag. On the outside of the bags, a front pocket as well as two side pockets allow you to keep all necessary items at your fingertips. On the back of the Arles bag, there are gusseted pockets to store filters, pens and other small objects.
Our range of photography accessories consist of the Clic strap which is equipped with a shoulder pad to even out the weight of the bag, as well as the Prades leather pouch, which allows you to store a camera without lense or with flat lense that you can slide into our Arles bag or any other Bleu de Chauffe bag. At the back of this pouch, there are two rings so that it can be easily worn with the strap from the Arles bag.
