DESCRIPTION

Get your groove on!

Our Fire & Hide Crossbody Pouch is just what you need to carry around the bare essentials when you head out into the night. It is handmade from a combination of rescued leather and our genuine decommissioned British fire-hose. The lining is crafted from reclaimed military-grade parachute silk. Featuring an adjustable shoulder strap, this mini-bag is unisex and is designed to be worn over the shoulder, around the neck or across the body.

This wonderful pouch, in addition to contributing to our donations to The Fire Fighters Charity and Barefoot College International, also supports DIRT. Founded by Arizona Muse, DIRT is a UK charity working globally to turn fashion into a climate solution starting with the soil.... Specifically DIRT supports farm projects and biodynamic farming education.

We will donate £5.00 from the sale of every Festival Pouch to DIRT. Why DIRT? Because our work on the farm is 100% aligned with DIRT's mission, we know first hand what the transition to regenerative agriculture looks like.

What can you fit in there?

Elvis & Kresse like to use this bag when they are out and about at Summer festivals, it fits: a phone, one of our cardholders, a passport, a lip balm and a front door key.

We are excited to be able to offer so many variations of the Festival Pouch. 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 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.
