Description

An outpouring of love

This Heart can be clipped on to any of our pieces, from keyrings to bags, for just that little extra bit of love. The Elvis & Kresse Heart pouch is made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and lined with rescued parachute. Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK, the hose softens with use but never loses its strength. The pouch is perfect for keeping your keys, lip balm, coins or any other small essentials neatly packed away… Get it for yourself, as a charm for an existing Elvis & Kresse bag, or give it as a gift to someone special to carry with them!

You can make your pouch even more unique by adding a personalised message on the back of it. If you choose the personalisation option, this is achieved by laser etching directly into the fire-hose. We recommend not more than 25 characters. The font used is Times New Roman.

THE FIRE-HOSE COLLECTION

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 Fire-hose pieces are more than just a collection, they represent a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.

Each of our pieces are unique. There are slight variations in colour and detailing - some items may have the Angus Duraline details printed onto the hose when it is first extruded and some may not, but they all look fabulous! If you require a particular style i.e. writing or no writing, please email our team at support@elvisandkresse.com when you place the order stating your name, the product ordered and the style you require and we will do our utmost to accommodate you.

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 Fire-hose Collection to The Fire Fighters Charity. This heroic material, once used to save lives, gets a second chance to keep giving back.

Testimonials

In 2011 I was gifted one of your delightful Double Card Holders by my lovely and incredibly thoughtful partner. I loved it from moment one and ever since that day it has been with me. I know, I know, it’s only a wallet, but I love it. I love the feel, the simplicity, the size and of course the ethical message that came with it.

It goes perfectly with my big yellow fire hose belt, which I absolutely adore and wear almost exclusively. (Don’t worry, I’m not a bit weird, I just know what I like)...

My brother gave me your cardholder as a birthday present when I went to university and I have it with me every day, it is great for a few cards and a little folded cash. I don't think I will ever use anything else!
