Description

Timeless elegance

The Elvis & Kresse Tote Bag is made from reclaimed
printing blankets, rescued from the printing industry, and combined with our
signature decommissioned fire-hose. It is lined with reclaimed parachute silk. A perfect day bag due to its size and robustness, the tote will keep you dry through a spot of rain and keep its contents dry even in a rainstorm. You don’t need to worry about setting it down on the ground, it will wipe clean with just a cloth and some furniture polish. This over-the-shoulder bag is big enough for a 13" laptop and has 3 internal pockets. Practical, individual, beautiful, timeless.

Printing Blanket Range

Our Printing Blanket collection is made from reclaimed printing blankets, rescued from the printing industry, and combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose. The rescued blankets are re-engineered to create a visually stunning, black textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This range maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose versions.

FIRE-HOSE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

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.

Our Printing Blanket collection combines the rescued printing blankets with our signature fire-hose, using the strong and heroic fire-hose in high stress areas and for trim, straps and handles.

Our pieces are more than just a collection, they 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 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 Printing Blanket and Fire-hose Collection to The Fire Fighters Charity. This heroic material, once used to save lives, gets a second chance to keep giving back.

I ordered a Tote Bag about a month ago and I just wanted to let you know how happy I am. I had a million questions and you customer service was amazing in helping me get just the right bag... I am beyond thrilled now that it is here and I am using it. It is PERFECT! I am telling everyone I know about your company and I am already saving up for a Post bag.
