At Elvis & Kresse, we have always believed that real change does not happen in isolation. From the very beginning, our mission has been about more than creating sustainable bags and accessories from rescued materials; it has been about proving that business can be a force for good. The best part is, we know we are not alone in this. Across industries, there are remarkable organisations working tirelessly to reduce waste, reimagine supply chains, and put people and the planet first.
Our commitment to building communities of good businesses is why we are active in both the Social Enterprise and B Corp movements. Kresse is an honorary fellow of Social Enterprise UK and we were one of the founding UK B Corps.
Over the years, we have partnered with many like-minded sustainable businesses and met countless entrepreneurs who share our vision for a more circular and ethical world. These are the companies that inspire us, challenge convention, and remind us that transformation is possible. We are often asked who we feel is on this sustainability journey with us, and that question inspired The Company We Keep, a campaign celebrating the brands we admire and the values we share.
Over the coming weeks, we will start sharing the stories of organisations that, in their own unique ways, are reshaping the world around them.
By shining a light on these allies, we aim to do two things: to introduce our community to brands worth knowing, and to show that when ethical businesses collaborate and share values, we amplify change.
This is The Company We Keep: purposeful, pioneering, and committed to building a better future. We are proud to stand alongside them and invite you to discover their stories with us. Together, we can prove that sustainability, generosity, and craftsmanship can coexist, and that business can truly be a force for good.

By making circular fashion simple and accessible, Reskinned is helping to change the way we shop and the way we think about the clothes we wear.
Clipper Teas have been pioneers in natural, fair, and organic tea since the very beginning. Their commitment to sustainability runs from the tea garden to the cup, from ethical sourcing to planet-friendly packaging. We share more than values; we also give a second life to the very sacks their tea arrives in, upcycling them into our own packaging and leaflets. A perfect blend of purpose and partnership.
