Kurzübersicht

A weekend away

The Elvis & Kresse Weekend Bag is handmade from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and the lining is made from material rescued from Burberry's Yorkshire workshop and military-grade parachute silk. A few select pieces will come with a reclaimed auction banner lining. Each bag is totally unique, no two Elvis & Kresse bags are ever the same.

Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK, the hard-wearing hose is perfectly suited for your travels. The wide mouth opening of our holdall makes packing, unpacking and searching very easy and the generous sizing means you can take everything you need for a weekend away. The bag has an easy access external pocket, an internal zip pocket and 3 further internal poacher-style pockets.

Our fire-hose Weekend Bag is an iconic bag, which is held as part of the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

We also offer a Limited Edition 'Print Room' version of our classic Weekend bag. Crafted from reclaimed printing blankets combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose, this limited edition duffle really makes a statement. The re-engineered printing blanket creates a visually stunning textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This version of the bag maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose version as described above.

The Fire-hose Collection

We fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose back in 2005 through a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. We 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 we 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.

Our Fire-hose pieces are more than just a collection, they represent a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.

Über Marke

Seit 2005 recyceln Elvis & Kresse Rohstoffe, verwandeln sie in luxuriöse Lifestyle-Accessoires und spenden die Hälfte ihres Gewinns für wohltätige Zwecke. Elvis & Kresse verwendet beispielsweise Lederreste von Burberry in Großbritannien, die sonst weggeworfen werden würden.

Fairer Handel: Elvis & Kresse-Taschen werden in England ethisch hergestellt. Sie zahlen ihren Mitarbeiter:innen einen Lohn über dem realen Existenzminimum. Das Label hat einen eigenen Produktionsstandort, der als Sozialunternehmen zertifiziert ist und die UK B Corporation gegründet hat.

Umweltfreundlich: Elvis & Kresse stellt Taschen aus wiederverwendetem Nischenmaterial her. Sie sammeln 15 verschiedene Abfallströme und verwenden sie wieder. Vom Feuerwehrschlauch über Lederabfälle bis hin zu Teesäcken. Die vollständige Liste findet ihr auf ihrer Website! Das Label reinigt auch ihr benutztes Wasser, denn sie haben ein vollständig zirkuläres Wasserreinigungssystem aufgebaut, damit kein Wasser den Standort verlässt. In ein paar Jahren hoffen sie, mit ihrem eigenen Wasser komplett autark zu sein. Alle Verpackungen werden von Hand in ihrer Werkstatt in Kent hergestellt (auch aus wiederverwendeten Materialien wie alten Drucktüchern und Fallschirmseide).

Lokal produziert: Die Kollektionen werden vollständig in England aus lokalen Materialien hergestellt.

Guter Zweck: Elvis & Kresse spenden 50 % ihres Gewinns an Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen. Ihre Wohltätigkeitspartner:innen sind die Fire Fighters Charity und das Barefoot College.
