Colourful, Beautiful and Sustainable

For many years we have been walking on the beach at Whitstable with our dogs... this genuine leather tote bag is inspired by its bright, boxy beach huts. The Whitstable Tote is a leather tote bag handcrafted using the finest rescued leather, accentuated by our signature decommissioned fire-hose, and finished with a reclaimed lining. A great all day leather tote bag for those that like easy access to everything you carry. Designed to be held in the hand or carried over the shoulder, our Whitstable Tote has an inside zip pocket, an additional framed pocket and a large external pocket with a magnetic closure.

What can you fit in there?

It is large enough to keep everything you need for a day out: iPad or small laptop, phone, purse, keys, reusable water bottle, lunch box, book, scarf and flats.

THE LEATHER COLLECTION

In 2005 we fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose. Determined to save it from landfill we took this lifesaving material home, gave it a second chance, and vowed to donate 50% of the profits to the Fire Fighters Charity. But fire-hose was just the beginning.

Every year, 800,000 tonnes of leather ends up on the cutting room floor. Our leather partners cherish their hides, but no matter how carefully they cut their patterns, there will always be small seemingly unusable offcuts. To rescue this leather we developed a unique modular approach. We hand weave these fragments into whole new hides then lovingly recraft them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Our commitment to rescuing British fire-hoses remains the same, the trim, handles and internal detailing of the Leather & Fire-hose range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. And we continue to donate 50% of profits to charity.

Our Leather & Fire-hose Collection 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 seemingly useless materials and lovingly handcrafting them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Every year since, Elvis & Kresse have donated 50% of the profits to charities related to those raw materials. 50% of the profits from the Leather & Fire-hose Collection are donated to Barefoot College International and The Fire Fighters Charity.
