Elvis & Kresse Washbag Medium Red Handmade Fire Hose
The Elvis & Kresse Medium Wash Bag has been made from authentic decommissioned fire hoses that has been lined with left over military parachute silk. This reclaimed fire hose material has been deployed in active duty for up to 25 years fighting fires up and down the UK. This material has incredible durability and great tactile strength that has been re-engineered to help protect your essential toiletries. It is completely water resistant obviously with it being repurposed fire hose, and it’s great at protecting your contents from the outside or the outside from leaking shampoo bottles and tubes of exploding creams. The material is very easy to clean and can be wiped away effortlessly. 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 10 x W 24 x D 10 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
