Walpole Sustainable Luxury Brand of the year

In the 2025 edition of the Walpole British Luxury Awards, Elvis & Kresse was named Sustainable Luxury Brand of the Year, recognising its pioneering approach to turning waste materials into timeless luxury pieces and setting new standards for sustainability in British design.

The award celebrates brands that go beyond words to embed sustainability into every part of their business. We impressed the judging panel with our commitment to circular design, craftsmanship, and social impact. From transforming decommissioned fire hoses into covetable accessories to donating 50% of profits to good causes.

“Two decades ago, we began a radical experiment, transforming London’s discarded fire-hoses into symbols of hope and renewal. Today’s award is not just an honour; it’s a call to action. We invite the British Luxury community to join us in proving that beauty and sustainability can thrive together. Together, we can inspire a world where regeneration is the ultimate form of luxury.”
