Elvis & Kresse Travel Wallet Cognac Handmade Fire Hose Hide
This Elvis & Kresse Travel Wallet in Cognac is handmade from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and rescued Burberry leather off-cuts. The fire-hoses have been previously deployed in and used by fire brigades in some cases for up to 25 years putting out fires up and down the UK before being repurposed into this beautiful travel wallet. Fire-hose material is exceptionally strong and versatile that will soften over time from use but will never loose durability or it’s tactile strength. The interior of the wallet is lined with a reclaimed military grade parachute silk giving a wonderful feel and texture to the wallet with many storage slots for sorting and securing all your travel essentials. Two full length pockets for passports and documents, six sections for credit cards and two additional large sections for boarding passes and foreign currency. And finally one large bonus slot for printed confirmations and reservations so no more forgetting your tickets and documents at the last moment. The material is water resistant and very easy to wipe clean ensuring all it’s contents stay dry, and was voted one of the best Travel Wallets by the Independent in 2019. 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: H 22 x W 12 x D 2 cm – Exterior: Genuine decommissioned fire hose and Burberry leather off-cuts – Lining: Reclaimed military-grade parachute silk – Colour: Cognac – 2 x full length pockets for passports and documents – 6 x sections for credit cards – 2 x large sections for boarding passes and foreign currency – 1 x large bonus slot for reservations and confirmations – Presented in a reclaimed military-grade parachute silk dust bag – Water resistant and easy to wipe clean
