    Bleu de Chauffe x Calepino

    We recently talked talked about leather accessories label Bleu de Chauffe and their collaboration with brush manufacturer Andrée Jardin. The French brand has now teamed up with one of our favourite notebook manufacturers, Calepino, to create Portfolio, a set of 3 memo notebooks protected by a tanned vegetable leather cover.

    Both companies are passionate about good design and craftsmanship, so it isn’t a surprise that the final result is a beautiful, classic product made by artisans in the brands’ workshops. The Portfolio soft cover is a reinterpretation of the cardboard elasticated flap folders, and the colour of the different elastic bands refers to the colour code of the Calepino notebooks: red for ruled paper, green for graph paper, blue for plain paper and grey for dot grip paper. We received our own Portfolio just a few days ago and it has become the best companion to take notes about inspiration and future features on our website.

    The collaboration between Bleu de Chauffe and Calepino is now available online on:

    Bleu de Chauffe x Andrée Jardin

    Bleu de Chauffe is a French accessories label creating simple and practical leather bags inspired by industrial aesthetics. The brand is named after the blue jacket worn by French engine drivers when boiling the water to increase the pressure of the steam engine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    Made entirely in Aveyron, France, Bleu de Chauffe’s bags are signed and date-stamped by the artisan responsible for the manufacture each bag. Ecological consciousness is another important part of the brand’s ethos – Bleu de Chauffe uses natural leathers treated with natural agents such as mimosa, chestnut and acacia.

    Bleu de Chauffe recently teamed up with brush manufacturer Andrée Jardin to create a leather care kit composed of wax for natural leather and 3 brushes. We gave it a try following the instructions of the video below and brought our own old leather bag back to life!
