Elvis is hosting a 'Design Your Own' Workshop at Sotheby's

Normally our workshops, where you can create your own entirely unique piece, are all hosted at our farm/HQ in Kent. This is a unique opportunity to participate in London, at Sotheby's!

We started working with Sotheby's more than a decade ago, their used auction banners, though rare, have been making their way to our workshop and into the linings of limited edition pieces from across our collection.

There are natural reasons for us to work together. Both of our organisations love to preserve the history and integrity of things that already exists. Although we approach this challenge in entirely different ways, the underlying rationale is the same. Why not cherish what we already have? Why not ensure that it has a wonderful second life?

We are incredibly excited to announce that we will be hosting a workshop at Sotheby's during London Craft Week. 

Why is Sotheby's doing this?

"This May, Sotheby’s is supporting London Craft Week with ‘Crafted’, a celebration of talent working across diverse media. Curated by Sotheby’s specialists, it is designed to shine a light and deepen insight into the realm of craft of all kinds. "

Details:

Location: 34-35 New Bond St, Bond St, London W1A 2AA

Date: Saturday May 16th, 2026

Time: 2pm-4pm

Event Outline: Join Elvis, one of the luxury pioneers who founded Elvis & Kresse and design your own cardholder or passport cover. Whatever colour or pattern you choose, it will be entirely your own. Their system transforms leather fragments from the production of luxury leather goods into components which you will hand weave. The crafts team at Elvis & Kresse will then hand-craft your final design and send it to you within 6 weeks in wonderful reclaimed packaging.

Whether you’re a seasoned maker or simply curious, it’s an experience that suits anyone who loves creativity, design, or discovering how things are made.

Cost: There are two items to choose from, our Cardholder (£150.00) and our Passport Holder (£180).
