The Leather Weekend Bag is handmade from rescued Burberry leather pieces, decommissioned fire-hose and reclaimed lining material. The Elvis & Kresse signature fire-hose is the perfect partner to the hand-woven leather, deployed in all vital areas: the base, the handles and the strap.

Our Leather Weekend Bag is a great size for a trip away and has plenty of pockets to keep your essentials organised. Comfortable, practical and full of history even before you add your own experiences.

The Leather Weekend Bag is designed around our iconic full fire-hose variation, which is a part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's permanent collection.

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.
