Here you can discover all of the products we make using printing blankets, combined with our signature fire-hose. How do we achieve this beautiful matt black material? The off-set printing industry uses a printing blanket to transfer ink from the roller onto the paper. If the blanket is damaged or wears out it can no longer be trusted to dot your i's or cross your t's . We rescue these blankets, clean them up, re-engineer them and create a second life for a vintage material.

The collection features a range of styles from elegant totes and sophisticated shoulder bags to versatile crossbody bags and chic clutches. 

We are also dedicated to ethical practices throughout our production process, which is why we hand make our bags across only two sites, both our own, by artisans who are paid fairly and work in safe, supportive environments. Elvis & Kresse is a certified Living Wage employer. 

Explore our collection of Printing Blanket bags today. Choose a piece that suits your style and stand out with confidence.
