Luxury accessories from fire-hoses

post-image

In 2005, when the Founders of Elvis & Kresse learned that London's damaged decommissioned fire-hoses were headed to landfill, they set up their operation to save and recycle them.

For over a decade none of London’s fire-hoses have gone to landfill and over 300 tonnes of material has been reclaimed. 

In 2017 the Burberry Foundation partnered with Elvis & Kresse to tackle the even greater global problem of leather waste. This Five-year partnership is resulting in 120 tonnes of leather off-cuts from Burberry being re-crafted into new luxury items, designed and sold by Elvis & Kresse.
