Description

Refined, Reclaimed and Large

The Large Leather Post Bag is handcrafted using the finest rescued leather accentuated by our signature decommissioned fire-hose and finished with a reclaimed parachute silk lining. A great all day bag for those that like to carry more. Designed to be held in the hand, carried over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag. The Large leather handbag has an inside zip pocket and 2 additional poacher-style pockets. It comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. 

What can you fit in there?

The large leather handbag is large enough to keep everything you need for a day out: iPad or small laptop, phone, purse, keys, water bottle, lunch box, book, scarf and flats.

The Large Leather Post Bag is crafted through a transformation of leather fragments from the production of Burberry leather goods. Our craftsmen individually cut and hand weave, piece by piece, these otherwise lost scraps of leather into whole new hides. The Fire & Hide Collection is the sumptuous blend of our signature fire-hose and rescued leather. The limited nature of our rescued materials means we can only ever create a few pieces in each variation. You can learn more about our leather partnership here.

We are excited to be able to offer so many variations of the Large leather Post Bag. Every option includes handles and trim in Elvis & Kresse's signature decommissioned fire-hose, which was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK.

THE FIRE & HIDE COLLECTION

In 2005 we fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose. Determined to save it from landfill we took this lifesaving material home, gave it a second chance, and vowed to donate 50% of the profits to the Fire Fighters Charity. But fire-hose was just the beginning.

Every year, 800,000 tonnes of leather ends up on the cutting room floor. Our leather partners cherish their hides, but no matter how carefully they cut their patterns, there will always be small seemingly unusable offcuts. To rescue this leather we developed a unique modular approach. We hand weave these fragments into whole new hides then lovingly recraft them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Our commitment to rescuing British fire-hoses remains the same, the trim, handles and internal detailing of the Fire & Hide range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. And we continue to donate 50% of profits to charity.

Our Fire & Hide Collection represents a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.

50% of profits donated

Since 2005 we have been rescuing seemingly useless materials and lovingly handcrafting them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Every year since, Elvis & Kresse have donated 50% of the profits to charities related to those raw materials. 50% of the profits from the Fire & Hide Collection are donated to Barefoot College International and The Fire Fighters Charity.

Testimonials

Hi, It's my wife's birthday today, she kept saying how good your bags are, so today she now has one. Just wanted you to know how much she absolutely loves it, she said it's the best gift since her engagement ring!!! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for making such wonderful and distinctive items. It is telling that a couple who live a pretty minimalist life own a Fire & Hide Post Bag, two Belts, a Pencil Case, Wallet and Wash Bag from Elvis & Kresse.
