Description

Sustainable travel

The Elvis & Kresse Overnight Bag is sustainably handmade from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and the lining is made from a combination of material rescued from Burberry's Yorkshire workshop and military-grade parachute silk. Each bag is totally unique, no two Elvis & Kresse bags are ever the same.

Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK, the hard-wearing hose is perfectly suited for your travels. The extra-long double zip makes access into the bag a cinch and the generous sizing makes the sustainable travel bag the perfect hand-luggage for your travels. The ethical travel bag has zipped external and internal pockets and 2 further internal poacher-style pockets.

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

Just wanted to let you know that (after my dropping an awful lot of hints) my lovely wife bought me one of your gorgeous bags for my 50th birthday this year. It's a red Travel Bag, and I love it so much. Perfect size, and the design allows you to pack all the space very efficiently. Stylish to look at too. It's my new favourite thing!

Thanks so much. I dearly love my hosepipe-bag - it makes me feel very happy when I use it: like I’m carrying a beautiful inside joke around with me
