Description

Giddy-up!

Our Saddle Bag is perfect if you are strolling around town or leaping onto your trusty steed. It is handmade from our genuine decommissioned British fire-hose. The lining is crafted from reclaimed military-grade parachute silk with an internal zipped pocket. Featuring a fully adjustable shoulder strap, the saddle bag is unisex and is designed to be worn over the shoulder or across the body. 

What can you fit in there?

Elvis & Kresse like to use this saddle bag when they are popping out or going on a quick trip around the city, it fits: a passport, foreign currency, book, smart phone, keys and an Elvis & Kresse wallet or purse.

The Saddle bag is available in our signature red or yellow decommissioned fire-hose. The Printing blanket version is an elegant combination of our signature decommissioned fire-hose and reclaimed printing blankets, which are re-engineered to create a visually stunning matt black textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch.

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.

Printing Blanket Range

We also offer a Printing Blanket version of our classic pieces. They are made from reclaimed printing blankets, rescued from the printing industry, and combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose. The re-engineered black printing blanket creates a visually stunning textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This version maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose versions.

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 LOVE my bag! The colors, the feel of it, the personalisation.... all of it!

Thank you all so much for the care you put into every part of the journey

Mary Beth

I am very enthusiastic about your products and your cause, and I recommend your website to anyone I can. The recipients of the gifts, whom I purchased your products for, are over the moon about them. I assumed, vainly, they were using your products so frequently out of kindness to me (as the gift giver) and when this was pointed out I was corrected that, "No, I LOVE this bag it's my favorite thing."
