Sustainable Luxury Since 2005

Luxury Accessories Made From Rescued Materials

Who we are

Established in 2005, Elvis & Kresse's journey began with a mission to rescue London's decommissioned fire-hose. Our eponymous founders set out to redefine heritage, building a world class luxury business that put people and planet first. For 20 years they have proven just how much good a business can do when it decides to give exponentially more than it takes.
