About Elvis & Kresse 
Following a chance meeting with the London fire brigade in 2005, Elvis & Kresse discovered fire-hose. After a distinguished career of 25 years, fighting fires and saving lives, the damaged hose was simply sent to landfill.

Elvis & Kresse fell in love with those brave old hoses and mounted a rescue. The hose was too beautiful; it had too much left to give. Over the last 10 years, they have been transforming the hose into a range of luxury accessories and homeware. Honouring the hose means designing beyond a single season, ensuring lasting, classic design and a functional, wearable aesthetic that stands the test of time. They work with highly skilled craftspeople that build as much value as they can into every single piece they create.

The fire hose is simply one of the materials that Elvis & Kresse look to reincarnate in the spirit of sustainability and taking responsibility for the surplus of materials that we have on our small planet.

Join them on our journey to prove value, change perception and re-engineer tradition, they’re just getting started.
