Fire-hose Handbags
- Sustainable Luxury -
Reclaimed | Ethical | Handmade
Elvis & Kresse was established in 2005 to save London's decommissioned fire-hose, hoses that had become too damaged to repair and were going to landfill. Elvis & Kresse fell in love with these brave old hoses and mounted a rescue. Today, Elvis & Kresse's highly skilled craftspeople make beautifully designed bags and homeware from 15 different reclaimed materials. 50% of profit from the Fire-Hose range go to The Fire Fighters Charity and 50% of profit from the Fire & Hide range go to Barefoot College International.
