If you’re traveling on business but would rather be on the way to your favorite fishing spot, boy does Bleu de Chauffe have the perfect bag for you. The French carry (and clothing) brand has combined the best parts of their classic Fisherman’s Musette with the sensibility of the Zeppo Business Bag to create a shoulder-toted satchel that can adapt to your rugged and professional carry needs.
The body is cut from a heavyweight 18oz. British Millerain lick wax cotton canvas and accented by veg-tanned leather trip. It features two outer flap pockets in the front, one push-button closed pocket in the back, a built-in felt laptop sleeve, an inner zip pocket, and it all comes together with Bleu de Chauffe’s signature brass Guilloché closure that has a fingerprint like texture and an extremely satisfying snap.
Like all Bleu de Chauffe products, it’s made in-house at their idyllic Aveyron workshop (see our trip inside) and each bag is signed by the artisan that produced it. Pick one up and set your out of office reply to “Gone Fishin”.
Available for $362 at Bleu de Chauffe in Khaki and Camel.
