Printing Blanket & Fire-hose Accessories

The accessories in the printing blanket range follow the same logic as everything else we make: take a material that would otherwise be wasted, make something useful and durable from it, and do it properly. Reclaimed offset printing blankets are combined with decommissioned British fire-hose and handmade at our workshops in Kent and Istanbul.

Our wallets, notebooks, laptop cases, passport covers, and purses in this collection all feature the distinctive matt black of the printing blanket surface. They are compact, practical, and made to exactly the same standard as our bags. If you prefer the look of the printing blanket range over the fire-hose range but want a smaller piece, this is where to start.

Small pieces. The same rescued materials.

  • Reclaimed printing blankets: We collect offset rubber blankets from commercial printing operations. The matt black surface is not painted or dyed. Each piece is subtly unique.
  • Decommissioned fire-hose: We rescue British fire-hoses that have been retired from service. The fire-hose provides structure and water resistance.
  • Metal hardware: We use metal hardware throughout the range.

Made in Kent. 50% of profits to The Fire Fighters Charity.

  • Certified B Corp
  • Certified Social Enterprise
  • Certified Living Wage employer
  • No-outsourcing: Everything is handmade by our own team across our two sites, one in Kent and one in Istanbul
  • Queen Award for Enterprise winner
  • Cartier Women Initiative winner
  • Over 300 tonnes of materials rescued to date
  • 50% of profits from this collection donated to The Fire Fighters Charity

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the printing blanket accessories range?

This collection includes wallets, slim cardholders, notebooks, laptop cases and passport covers. The range provides the matt black aesthetic of the printing blanket collection in smaller, everyday-carry formats.

Do printing blanket wallets wear well?

Yes. The rubber surface of the printing blanket does not show scratches or everyday marks the way leather does. These wallets and accessories are built for daily use and age with the same quiet resilience as the bags.

How do printing blanket accessories compare to fire-hose accessories?

Same quality, same construction, different look. The printing blanket range is matt black and minimal; the fire-hose range is more textured and comes in red and yellow. Choose by aesthetic - both are built to last.
