The Elvis & Kresse Story

The bag that started it all

Our very first bag was this classic Tote. Uniquely crafted from decommissioned fire-hose, it carries your essentials with ease and seemingly endless space. With three internal pockets, it is not only thoughtfully designed and built to last, but also a meaningful way to reduce waste. Kresse has been carrying hers for 15 years.

Kresse receives the Cartier Impact Award

About the Awards

Who we are

Established in 2005, Elvis & Kresse's journey began with a mission to rescue London's decommissioned fire-hose. Our eponymous founders set out to redefine heritage, building a world class luxury business that put people and planet first. For 20 years they have proven just how much good a business can do when it decides to give exponentially more than it takes.
