New bags coming soon...
We've got 3 awesome new bags being added to the range in the next couple of weeks. These include the Kit bag, Messenger bag and Box bag.
The
Products
E&KO combines highly skilled leather craftsmanship and raw materials that have an incredible history; making classic, practical pieces. E&KO is tradition, reinvented!
The innovative and pioneering Fire-Hose range is made exclusively from genuine de-commissioned British fire brigade hoses which, after a distinguished career fighting fires and saving lives, were otherwise destined
for landfill. The linings are made from either scrap sail cloth or reclaimed office furniture textiles.
The
Creators
The Elvis & Kresse Organisation (E&KO) creates stunning life-style accessories by re-engineering seemingly useless
wastes. All of E&KO's products have the environment at their core - industrial waste is the cornerstone of their brand. Just some of the materials they reclaim are; condemned fire-hose, waste coffee sacks, scrap sail cloth, used air traffic control flight strips, reclaimed pewter for the belt buckles, parachute silk and decommissioned office furniture textiles.
The
Mission
Elvis & Kresse are constantly thinking about waste. The instant they met the London Fire Brigade they fell in love with their old hose. Although they started in London, E&KO now collects hose across the UK and in order to thank Britian's Brigades, 50% of their profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. They scrub away all the soot, grease, and everything else that builds
up after 25 years of active duty, and in the process reveal a truly remarkable, truly green textile.
