The outer skin of the Elvis & Kresse iPhone case is handmade to order in Kent, UK by our skilled craftsmen from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. The case is extremely hard wearing, water resistant and wipe clean, offering ultimate protection to your iPhone. The hose itself is vintage, some of it is already 25 years old, and bears the scars of a brave life fighting fires. The lining is reclaimed military-grade parachute silk, ensuring that your iPhone screen stays protected.
Available in red or yellow hose. Does not fit phones with additional soft or hard covers already in use.
If you choose to have the case personalised, this is achieved by laser etching directly into the fire-hose. We recommend not more than 20 characters. The font used is Times New roman.
Additional iPhone sizes and models may be available upon request.
We fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose back in 2005 through a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. We took this lifesaving material home determined to breathe new life into it and save it from its otherwise inevitable end in landfill, and vowed to donate 50% of our profits to charity.
For over a decade we have been rescuing all of London's retired fire-hose by lovingly handcrafting them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Every year since, Elvis & Kresse have donated 50% of the profits from the Fire-hose Collection to The Fire Fighters Charity. This heroic material, once used to save lives, gets a second chance to keep giving back.
Our Fire-hose pieces are more than just a collection, they represents a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.
