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 14 x W 24 x D 14 cm – Exterior: Choice of genuine decommissioned British fire-hose or reclaimed printing blanket – Lining: Reclaimed military-grade parachute silk – Colour: Red – Robust Construction – Presented in a reclaimed military-grade parachute silk dust bag – Vegan friendly – Water resistant and can be wiped clean – 50% of profits go to The Fire Fighters Charity – Handmade with hand-painted edges
