The Bleu de Chauffe Mélo 48H Tote Bag combines generous carrying capacity with refined French craftsmanship, offering a versatile companion for weekend escapes, business trips and everyday travel. An oversized interpretation of the classic Méline tote, its spacious 30-litre design provides ample room for clothing, documents and travel essentials while maintaining a relaxed, elegant silhouette. Vegetable-tanned leather handles and comfortable shoulder straps offer flexible carrying options, while two exterior patch pockets keep smaller belongings within easy reach. A magnetic top closure and removable zipped cotton interior pocket complete the practical design, with each interior pocket individually dated and signed by the artisan who made the bag.
Handcrafted in France from heavyweight 18oz British Millerain Lick Wax cotton twill canvas, the fabric features an exceptionally tight weave that provides excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing. Weighing 590g/m², the canvas is treated with a specialist dry-wax finish, offering reliable weather protection while maintaining a dry, non-greasy feel. Vegetable-tanned leather handles and trims add structure and durability, gradually developing a rich patina alongside the canvas. Designed for lasting versatility, the Mélo also features Bleu de Chauffe's SNAP system, allowing a compatible laptop sleeve to be attached for business use.
