A military tote bag in tent canvas, signed C.D.M

This military tote bag is not cut from new cloth. Its body comes from old French army tent bags, recovered from surplus and then demilitarised: the khaki canvas keeps its marks of use, its original shading and sometimes its label. No two bags are ever quite alike. On one of them, the original kraft-paper label still mentions the Union Special machines that sewed a large part of military equipment.

  • Material: body 100% cotton, base and handles 100% cowhide leather
  • Origin: made in France
  • Detail: handmade tote bag
  • Detail: upcycled tents
  • Detail: surplus lining
Totebag militaria V2
Size

Compact, unisex format, made for the essentials of a day. Since each bag is cut from an original canvas, the shades of khaki vary from piece to piece.

How to wear a military tote bag

On the shoulder, over a work jacket: the tent canvas extends the utility wardrobe. In hand, with a chambray shirt and jeans, for town. The leather of the handles darkens with the touch of hands and takes on the same patina as the canvas.

Care

Avoid the machine, which would damage the leather base. Brush the canvas to remove dust and clean stains locally with lukewarm soapy water, without rubbing. Dust the leather with a dry cloth and nourish it from time to time with a leather milk. Leave to air dry in the shade.

A lining in Bulgarian shirts, a leather base

Inside, the lining is cut from Bulgarian army shirts, also from surplus. The base and handles are thick vegetable-tanned cowhide, produced in Lavaur, in the south of France: it structures the bottom without stiffening it and will patinate with the bag. The handles are fixed with copper rivets.

Totebag militaria V2

Patine et durabilité

In three years, this bag will have added your journeys to those of the army.

Its body comes from old French army tent bags, recovered from surplus and then demilitarised: the khaki canvas keeps its marks, its shades and sometimes its original label. The base and handles are cowhide leather. It is made in France. Here is how it continues its life.

  1. La pièce en Body: 100% cotton; base and handles: 100% cowhide leather, matière ferme, la teinte d’origine pleine, finitions nettes.

  2. La pièce s’adapte là où elle travaille le plus : bords, coutures et poches.

  3. Les plis d’usage se marquent et reviennent d’un port à l’autre.

  4. Lavage à 30 °C, sur l’envers, sans sèche-linge.

  5. Bords et zones de frottement pâlissent en premier.

  6. la teinte d’origine se nuance aux frottements.

  7. Familière, souple, toujours tenue.

  8. Une couture, un bouton, un accroc se reprennent à l’atelier.

  9. Une pièce entretenue gagne en caractère ce qu’elle perd en neuf.

No two bags are ever quite alike. Yours will have its own history, begun well before you. It is the bag people will ask you where it comes from, and you will have something to tell.

Version V2, slightly flared

In its second version, the tote bag flares slightly toward the top, like a beach bag, to gain ease without gaining volume. The format stays compact: light shopping, a notebook, a phone, keys. It is worn on the shoulder or by hand, by men and women alike. It is made in our Toulouse workshop.

FAQ

We are here to help you

Find here the answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you choose with confidence.

Contact us?
What is the quality of Champ de Manœuvres products?

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.

Every piece is designed to last, evolve and patinate over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we imagine our own weaves, then have them woven in the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. This process can take up to a year to produce a new cloth.

It is this level of exacting standards that sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.

Do you ship internationally?

What are the delivery times?

Delivery times vary depending on the destination: 2 to 5 business days in France, 2 to 8 days in Europe, and up to 16 days for the rest of the world. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the order is shipped.
