Printing Blanket Range

Our Printing Blanket collection is made from reclaimed printing blankets, rescued from the printing industry, and combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose. The rescued blankets are re-engineered to create a visually stunning, black textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This range maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose versions.

FIRE-HOSE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

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 Printing Blanket collection combines the rescued printing blankets with our signature fire-hose, using the strong and heroic fire-hose in high stress areas and for trim, straps and handles.

Our 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 Printing Blanket and 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

I have just received my beautiful purse this morning, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Thank you so much.
It will always be a very special purse to me. My father was a founder member of Norwich City Fire Brigade which was formed in 1948 after WW11, he served for 25yrs and is my hero. You are certainly inspirational with your ethical and benevolent business.

Eileen

Thank you very much for the purse this year, as with the bag last year, it went down a storm!

Once again you have helped me out with another Christmas gift that knocked her socks off and she loved the personal touches with the engraving.
