Ready for every mini adventure

The Elvis & Kresse Medium Wash Bag, just like its bigger brother, is made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and lined with waste parachute silk. Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK, fire-hose makes a perfect sustainable washbag. Strong enough to tackle the toughest conditions the first time around, the hose has been re-engineered to protect your essential toiletries – the hose is obviously water-resistant, protecting what’s inside, but perhaps more importantly protecting what’s outside from leaky shampoo bottles and exploding toothpaste tubes.

If you choose the personalisation option, this is achieved by laser etching directly into the fire-hose. We recommend not more than 20 characters. The font used is Times New Roman.

What can you fit in there?

This ethically made washbag is still roomy, allowing you to fit all the essentials for a weekend away or an overnight stop: deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush, hairbrush, face cream and a few other small things…

Why you'll love this piece

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.
