A Dutch Master

The Dutch Tote is a large leather tote bag handcrafted using the finest rescued leather accentuated by our signature decommissioned fire-hose and is lined with reclaimed material. This large leather tote bag was inspired on a trip by Elvis & Kresse to The Netherlands, where they saw a very sophisticated lady perfectly and discretely slide 3 bottles of wine into her bag. Designed to be held in the hand or carried over the shoulder, our Dutch Tote has an inside zip pocket and 2 additional poacher-style pockets.

What can you fit in there?

This large leather tote bag is large enough to fit 3 bottles of wine and a 13" laptop... trust us! Kresse took that to an event once and used the Dutch Tote to get it there safely.

THE LEATHER 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 Leather & Fire-hose range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. And we continue to donate 50% of profits to charity.

Our Leather & Fire-hose 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 Leather & Fire-hose Collection are donated to Barefoot College International and The Fire Fighters Charity.
