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 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 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

We were blown away by your workshop, and were aware we took up a lot of your time (apologies, but so interesting). Delighted with my bag too! Thank you!

Rebecca

Your ethos and everything you are doing on the farm is truly inspiring and your guided tour of the farm and workshop gave us a real insight to the passion you both put into it. Even whilst working you still found time to advise on best places to go in the beautiful town of Faversham. What you are doing at the farm is truly unique and you will definitely be seeing us again and I can’t wait to return when your first bottles of wine come off the production line which I’m sure is going to be amazing.
