Join the soul train

The Disco Bag was inspired by the effect created by a nightclub disco ball and the styling of a classic camera bag. This small leather crossbody bag is handcrafted using the finest rescued leather accentuated by our signature decommissioned fire-hose and is lined with reclaimed parachute silk. With a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap the bag is designed to be carried over the shoulder or across the body (or even as a clutch), our Disco Bag also has an inside zip pocket.

This small leather camera bag is also multi-coloured for another great reason. As you know, our leather is rescued, meaning we have no idea what colours we will collect or in what quantities. This means we will always have some spare pieces, in a range of colours, and not enough to make a whole range in a single colour. We create lots of different Disco Bags to make the most of these last pieces, hand-weaving and stitching each and every piece. The Fire & Hide Collection is the sumptuous blend of our signature fire-hose and rescued leather. The limited nature of our rescued materials means we can only ever create a few pieces in each variation.

Every option includes handles and trim in Elvis & Kresse's signature decommissioned fire-hose, which was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK.

THE LEATHER COLLECTION

In 2005 we fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose. Determined to save it from landfill we took this lifesaving material home, gave it a second chance, and vowed to donate 50% of the profits to the Fire Fighters Charity. But fire-hose was just the beginning.

Every year, 800,000 tonnes of leather ends up on the cutting room floor. Our leather partners cherish their hides, but no matter how carefully they cut their patterns, there will always be small seemingly unusable offcuts. To rescue this leather we developed a unique modular approach. We hand weave these fragments into whole new hides then lovingly recraft them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Our commitment to rescuing British fire-hoses remains the same, the trim, handles and internal detailing of the Leather & Fire-hose range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. And we continue to donate 50% of profits to charity.

Our Leather & Fire-hose Collection represents a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.

50% OF PROFITS DONATED

Since 2005 we have been rescuing seemingly useless materials and lovingly handcrafting them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Every year since, Elvis & Kresse have donated 50% of the profits to charities related to those raw materials. 50% of the profits from the Leather & Fire-hose Collection are donated to Barefoot College International and The Fire Fighters Charity.
