48H TOTE BAG

Some departures are never really planned. A spontaneous weekend away, a few days escaping the everyday, a train to catch. The Melo 48H was designed for exactly those moments.

The XXL version of our iconic Meline tote, it offers generous capacity while maintaining a supple, elegant silhouette. Crafted from exceptional British Millerain canvas, it combines durability, functionality, and character to keep pace with both travel and everyday life.

Its dual carry options—by hand or over the shoulder—provide outstanding versatility. Two exterior front pockets keep your essentials within easy reach, while the spacious main compartment comfortably accommodates clothing, documents, or travel accessories.

Vegetable-tanned leather handles and trims provide structure, comfort, and lasting durability. Over time, both the canvas and the leather develop a unique patina, making each bag a reflection of every journey it accompanies.

Thanks to its SNAP system, the Melo can also be adapted for business use by adding a compatible laptop pocket.

A bag designed for journeys near or far. Wherever you’re going, what matters is that you go.

Made in France in the Bleu de Chauffe workshops.

Made in France.

At our workshop, we selected an exceptional cotton canvas that is water-resistant and offers outstanding durability.

The Melo is crafted from 18 oz (590 g/m²) British Millerain Lick Wax twill canvas. A benchmark material in the world of leather goods and travel bags, this fabric stands out for its ultra-tight weave, providing excellent resistance to abrasion and tensile stress.

Its carefully applied dry wax finish offers reliable protection against the elements while maintaining a dry, pleasant hand feel with no greasy residue. This technical fabric is designed to perform equally well in urban environments and on the road, ensuring comfort and long-lasting performance.

Combined with vegetable-tanned leather handles and trims, it develops a distinctive character that becomes richer with every use.
