Description

Safe in your pocket

The Elvis & Kresse Billfold Wallet is made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK, the hose softens with use but doesn't lose its strength. The wallet is lined with reclaimed military-grade parachute silk. Fear not, although it is naturally water resistant and extremely durable – your contactless card (if you have one) works right through the hose.

Available in red or the more rare yellow hose.

If you choose the personalisation option, this is achieved by laser etching directly into the fire-hose. We recommend not more than 20 characters. The font used is Times New Roman.

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.

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

50% of profits donated

Since 2005 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.

Testimonials

I just wanted to tell you how much I love my Elvis & Kresse wallet that my wife got me last Christmas. I saw a Reddit article about y'all and showed it to her and she bought me one. It is my prized possession right behind my wedding ring. Thank you so much for what y'all are doing!

Last Friday I received my first purchase from Elvis & Kresse - a wallet for my boyfriend. His name is Angus and you really kindly helped find one with 'ANGUS' printed on it.

I'm blown away by the quality of the wallet and the joy of opening that package. I knew it would be great but this exceeded my already high expectations and I'm so excited by your products - even more so than before.
