SOME GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE A LEATHER BUCKET BAG FROM BLEU DE CHAUFFE
Diane bags from Bleu de Chauffe are of exceptional quality.
Each Diane bucket bag is made entirely by hand by a single artisan at our workshop in the south of France. Like all Bleu de Chauffe bags, the Diane is not manufactured on a production line: each artisan has their own way of putting their bags together. The artisan’s signature, which can be found on the inside of the bag, is the mark of a unique item, a bag with character.
What is more, Bleu de Chauffe only uses vegetable-tanned leather. The reality is that the leather industry can be very polluting: most leather is dyed using chrome or heavy metals, as the process is cheaper and quicker.
At Bleu de Chauffe we have made the choice to use only European vegetable-tanned leather, treated using exclusively natural tanning agents extracted from trees and plants: oak, acacia, chestnut, mimosa… This eliminates chrome pollution and creates leather that does not harm the skin and that develops a natural patina over time.
Another mark of quality is the fact that Bleu de Chauffe directly manages every part of the business, as it all happens in the same place: design, production, quality control, and customer services. Quality control for the finished product is particularly meticulous, and checks are carried out daily at all stages in production, so that future owners of our bags are guaranteed a faultless item that is made to last.
