What are Elvis & Kresse's products made from?

All of our products are made from reclaimed materials that were otherwise on the way to landfill. Our first line is made with genuine decommissioned fire-hose that we collect from various Fire Brigades across the UK. The peripherals are also made with reclaimed materials, we use textiles from old office furniture, scrap sail cloth and waste parachute silk to line our bags and wallets.

Which Charities do Elvis & Kresse support?

We currently donate to the Fire Fighters Charity and are supporting two coffee grower initiatives, one to build a spent domestic water filtration system at Jesus Maria in Nicaragua and the other to construct accommodation, kitchens and lavatories at Santa Ana La Huerta in Guatemala.

How should I care for my fire-hose products?

Because of the robust nature of the fire-hose (some of the hoses are already more than 20 years old), Elvis & Kresse's products should not need much looking after, that's the beauty of it! However, if you do want to spruce up your Elvis & Kresse accessory then eco-friendly furniture polish and a rag works wonders.

How much waste have Elvis & Kresse reclaimed so far?
