BLEU DE CHAUFFE HANDMADE IN FRANCE LAPTOP SLEEVE LEATHER

Social and environmental values are at the centre of their approach. Their workshop is located in Aveyron, France, where Bleu de Chauffe uses natural leathers with vegetal tanning agents (mimosa, chestnut...).

Vegetal tanning is the process of transforming leathers by means of natural agents, Bleu de chauffe tannery in Aveyron takes huge precautions in water treatment. After use, the water is left to settle, then clarified and released into the river just as pure as it was before using.
