Bleu de Chauffe has taken a fresh look at the traditional gibecière to create the Diane, a feminine leather gibecière with structured lines and bold curves, inspired by early 20th century archive photographs.
Made from stiff vegetable-tanned leather and put together using saddle stitch, this satchel is closer to the world of saddle-making than anything else, yet it is still a highly elegant gibecière for the urban woman.
The loops and chapes on the sides serve to attach straps inspired by traditional riding crops – signature features of the Bleu de Chauffe gibecière bag.
The Diane gibecière comes in three sizes and in a range of colors.
The Diane L is the largest of our gibecières, and has room for all your everyday items, from cellphones to bulky woolen scarves. It can also be used for a bit of shopping or to carry your lunch to work, but thanks to the stiff leather it keeps its elegant look even when almost empty. It has a capacity of 3.5L.
The Diane M is our medium-sized model (1.9L capacity). It is the ideal gibecière for all your urban activities. Of course it has space for all those little day-to-day items – cellphone, several pairs of glasses, keys – but it is also large enough to carry a book, a notebook, or a pair of gloves…
The smallest model in this line is the Diane S. This mini gibecière with its ultra-compact design is made for women who only need to take a few items with them every day: cellphone, keys, a pair of glasses, a small coin purse or card holder, and who do not need a large bag (the S has a capacity of 0.9L).
All our Diane gibecières have a small purse inside made from organic cotton, for items you want to keep separate from the rest of the bag, for example your keys.
