Elvis & Kresse Billfold Wallet Yellow Handmade Fire Hose

This Billfold Wallet in Yellow from Elvis & Kresse is made from a rare authentic decommissioned yellow fire hose that has been deployed and seen activity putting out fires up and down the UK for up to 25 years before being repurposed. The material is extremely durable and robust that will soften over time with use but never looses it’s innate tactile strength. Inside the lining of the wallet is made from reclaimed military grade parachute silk giving a beautiful aesthetic and feel to the interior. This repurposed material is naturally water resistant given it’s previous purpose, and is extremely durable yet will allow your contactless card to work right through so you don’t need the hassle of removing it every time. Inside you will find sections that can hold 8 credit cards, 2 additional pockets for your business cards and a divided section for notes and foreign currency. Elvis & Kresse fell in love with London’s decommissioned fire-hose back in 2005 through a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. They took this lifesaving material home determined to breathe new life into it and save it from its otherwise inevitable end in landfill, and vowed to donate 50% of our profits to charity. For over a decade they 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. – Brand: Elvis & Kresse – Dimensions Closed: H 9.5 x W 12 x D 1.5 cm – Exterior: Choice of genuine decommissioned British fire-hose – Lining: Reclaimed military-grade parachute silk – Sections for 8 x credit cards, 2 additional pockets for business cards, and a divided section for notes and foreign currency – Colour: Yellow – Robust Construction – Vegan friendly – Water resistant and can be wiped clean – 50% of profits go to The Fire Fighters Charity – Handmade with hand-painted edges
