The story of the fisherman’s musette traces its roots back to the early 20th century with the emergence of fly fishing, a dynamic style of fishing that required carrying gear and provisions in ashoulder bag to allow greater freedom of movement.
Functional and waterproof, the musette was quickly embraced by fly fishing enthusiasts but later fell out of favor with the advent of new technologies. It was at this moment that the fisherman’s musette began to reappear as a practical and trendy fashion accessory, reimagined by Bleu de Chauffe.
Casual and contemporary are the key words that define the fisherman’s musette. A legacy of an outdoor sport in harmony with nature, the musette is a practical bag with outdoor-inspired design, combining style, lightness, and durability.
The Bleu de Chauffe fisherman’s musette is a unisex, versatile bag that suits all styles.
