UTILITY-STYLE CLUTCH BAG
Designed to adapt to the changing pace of everyday life, the Gombe pouch embodies a new freedom of wear. Balancing spontaneity with understated elegance, it naturally adapts to its wearer without ever imposing a single style.
With a simple gesture, the Gombe transforms its look. Worn over the shoulder like a structured tote, it offers a confident, functional presence. Carried crossbody, it becomes softer and more dynamic, moving effortlessly with you. Two ways to wear it, two different attitudes, one single bag.
This versatility extends to its design. Thanks to its dual closure system, the silhouette evolves to suit your needs and mood, shifting from a structured shape to a more relaxed profile. An ingenious design equally suited to everyday life and spontaneous getaways.
The Gombe also stands out for its utilitarian spirit. Two large exterior gusseted pockets, inspired by traditional gardening bags, keep your essentials within easy reach. The spacious main compartment easily accommodates your daily belongings, while a removable zipped cotton inner pocket, dated and signed by the artisan who crafted the bag, reflects Bleu de Chauffe's exceptional craftsmanship.
Crafted from "Jeep" canvas, the Gombe pouch showcases a warm, authentic character. Its premium fabric, combined with vegetable-tanned leather trims, creates a naturally elegant bag with a distinctive personality that develops beautifully over time.

The spirit of wide-open spaces, the character of authentic canvas
Take to the road, leave the city behind and rediscover the pull of open horizons. Developed exclusively for Bleu de Chauffe, our Kaki US Stonewashed canvas captures this desire to explore through the character of a material made to stand the test of time.
Inspired by American military fabrics and the utility covers of vintage Willys MB Jeeps, it draws its distinctive look from a world where every object serves a purpose. Dense and hard-wearing, the canvas gains a natural suppleness from its stonewash treatment, which brings subtle variations to the surface and creates the distinctive patina of a well-loved piece. This 649 g/m² cotton canvas combines strength, comfort and durability. Brown vegetable-tanned leather trims define the bag’s lines. With every journey, their patina deepens alongside that of the canvas, gradually telling a unique story.
A canvas full of character, a distinctive patina
Dyed, stonewashed and then waxed using a traditional process, our cotton canvas bears the subtle shades and character of its making. Its feel, texture and aged appearance tell the story of an authentic material that grows more beautiful with every journey.
The wax penetrates deep into the canvas to protect it from rain and may leave slight marks on other materials during the first few uses. This small amount of excess wax gradually wears off with use, while the canvas retains its protection and develops its distinctive patina. During this initial period, we simply recommend avoiding prolonged rubbing against light-coloured clothing.
