Bleu de Chauffe

Boiler blue is the name given to the blue jacket worn by railway workers in the days of the railway to heat water and build up pressure in the first steam locomotives. The expression "Bleu de Chauffe" was born. Inspired by the workers and craftsmen who carried these old craft bags, Alexandre Rousseau and Thierry Batteux wanted to infuse their collections with style, ingenuity, simplicity and authenticity.
