The smallest pieces in our Fire & Hide collection are made the same way as the largest ones: rescued Burberry and Rolls Royce leather offcuts combined with decommissioned British fire-hose, handmade between our two workshops in Kent and Istanbul.
Keyrings, cufflinks, cosmetics cases, small accessories - these pieces all carry the same story as the bags and wallets. They have the same big heart. The leather is the same rescued leather from our luxury partners. The hardware is the same. Our commitment to not wasting anything is the same across the entire collection.
Every scrap is cherished and made into something.
-
Rescued leather: We work with offcuts from luxury leather goods and automotive manufacturing, these are collected directly from our partners' factories.

Decommissioned fire-hose: We work with British fire-hose that has been retired from service, it is primarily used for structural panels and trim.
-
Solid metal hardware: We use the same quality hardware on keyrings, cufflinks and fastenings throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the leather accessories range?
This is a very diverse collection of keyrings, cufflinks, cosmetics cases, wash bags and small card cases. The range evolves as we find new ways to use the rescued materials.
Do leather accessories make good gifts?
They make very good gifts. They are small and easy to send, but they also carry a real story - our material has history, and we are proud of where it came from and how it was made. A leather keyring or pair of cufflinks from Elvis & Kresse is an unusual gift that lasts for years.
Can leather accessories be personalised?
Almost all of the items in this range can be laser-etched. Every product page will have an example, with a photo, if this is something we have personalised before. If you would like to see lots of different examples, we recommend sending us an email: support@elvisandkresse.com, and we can send a host of images before you make your choice.
