We know and love Bleu de Chauffe for its use of waxed cotton in the pursuit of end-tier bagmaking, but this season, the French artisans have deployed high-quality double ripstop nylon for a range of lightweight, water-resistant carry that blends tradition and technology. Drawing inspiration from military equipment and outdoor gear from the mid-to-late 20th century, Bleu de Chauffe’s new Paraglyde collection spans three silhouettes that can traverse daily duties, travel, and much more.
Bleu de Chauffe Paraglye Tote Bag
The Paraglyde Tote Bag continues BDC’s tradition of producing elevated Tote bags, with its two-way carry system, leather welting, and laptop-compatible main compartment, which comes complete with a drawcord closure to keep the rain out. The Paraglyde Business Bag stuffs oodles of utility into a compact and handsome package, offering a perfect daily driver if you need to transport and organize your work setup. Also boasting a dual-carry system of a shoulder strap and handles, the Business Bag includes a felt laptop pocket that keeps devices up to 16″ safe, and a leather inset for sliding it onto the telescopic handles of your rolling luggage.
Speaking of luggage, the Paraglyde Travel Bag is here to make that autumn weekend away even sweeter with its roomy yet cabin-sized 30L silhouette. This piece comes with large external pockets, a full-grain leather-reinforced zipper, dual carry straps, and includes the same handy leather inset for fixing it onto your rolling suitcase handles.

Hand-made in Aveyron, South of France, each of these bags contrasts the heavy-duty navy ripstop with black webbing straps/handles and strategically placed black vegetable-tanned leather reinforcements that will garner patina with use and wear. Every bag includes a removable inside zipped cotton pocket that’s both dated and signed by the artisan who produced it.
Available at Bleu de Chauffe from $342 (including import duties)
