About this product :
Brighten up your commute
In the humdrum world ofnondescript business bags our Compact Briefcase offers you the chance to stand out from the crowd. Previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires across the UK, the hard-wearing fire-hose is perfectly suited for your daily commute. This classic shape will fit a 14" laptop and has both an internal zip pocket and a padded full-width open pocket for your tablet. The bag can be carried in the hand and also comes with a detachable strapthat enables it to beworn comfortably on the shoulder.
The Elvis & KresseCompact Briefcase is made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose and the lining is reclaimed military-grade parachute silk.
We also offer a Limited Edition 'Print Room' Compact Briefcase.Made from reclaimed printing blankets combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose, thisversion makes a bold statement. The re-engineered printing blanket creates a visually stunningtextile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This iteration maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose version as described above.
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 life into it and save it from its otherwise inevitable end in landfill, and vowed to donate 50% of our profits to charity.
For over a decade 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.
Our Fire-hose pieces are more than just a collection, they represents a whole kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.
