BUSINESS BAG MADE IN FRANCE
Inspired by reporters’ bags, the Report bag, made from vegetable-tanned stonewashed leather, can be carried in the hand or over the shoulder. It is a very practical business bag with clever features that make travelling easier: a built-in sleeve for a 13-inch computer, an inside zippered pocket, and two outside pockets. The bag has a removable leather strap with a comfortable leather shoulder pad lined with natural felt.
The zippered pocket at the back is specially designed to attach the bag to a suitcase’s telescopic handle. The inside can be adapted thanks to the SNAP concept, which allows pockets to be added to suit the needs of each individual. The Bleu de Chauffe label, signed and dated by the artisan who created the bag, is sewn on an inside zippered pocket.
The leather is aged using a stonewashed/Distressed process, giving it a unique vintage style. The irregularities and aged appearance of the leather are the result of this finishing process. This aged and waxed process will give the leather a beautiful natural patina over time !
Size: L 38 x H 30 x W 12 cm
Handmade in France.
Today, more than 90% of leather in the world undergoes a chrome tanning process which uses heavy chemical components. Bleu de Chauffe has a different approach. Our leather is vegetable tanned which ensures better quality and more sustainable leather, a soft natural touch, and a patina which improves over the years.
Here the vegetable-tanned leather is intentionally aged using a stonewashed process, for a vintage, outdoor look. Then a wax-based treatment is applied to give it a slightly oily feel that's suited to outdoor conditions. It is also treated to provide good water resistance. The variations and sometimes irregular appearance of the leather result from this particular finish. This aged and waxed treatment will give the leather a beautiful natural patina over time.
