It's not about having a Million it's about giving a Million!

To be honest, we were a little dismayed by the release of a million dollar bag.

There is a lot going on in the world, and if we are going to have a price that is clearly designed to generate headlines then why not generate headlines for the right reasons?

This is our response. We are upping the ante. We are releasing, for a limited time, a one-of-a-kind Million Pound bag. But this bag is completely different. It isn't about having a million to spend on a bag, it is about choosing to donate a million pounds. It is about celebrating the work of our long-standing charity partners, The Firefighters Charity and Barefoot College International. Money can't buy this bag, but generosity can.

What else makes this bag unique? It is made entirely from rescued materials and it is one-of-a-kind not because we have decided to make only one, but because it is impossible to make two. When you rescue materials you have no control over what comes in, and the gold stripe across the top of this bag was in a gold leather that is so rare, we could only put it on one piece. We will not be profiting from this bag. 50% of the proceeds will go to The Firefighters Charity and 50% will go to Barefoot College International. This bag will support firefighters, and help train women to be solar engineers. It is 2023… luxury needs to be about more than bling.

Our Weekend Bag is a great size for a trip away and has plenty of pockets to keep your essentials organised. Comfortable, practical and full of history even before you add your own experiences.

The Fire & Hide Weekend Bag is designed around our iconic full fire-hose variation, which is a part of the Victoria and Albert Museum's permanent collection.

The Fire & Hide Collection

In 2005 we fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose. Determined to save it from landfill we took this lifesaving material home, gave it a second chance, and vowed to donate 50% of the profits to the Fire Fighters Charity. But fire-hose was just the beginning.

Every year, 800,000 tonnes of leather ends up on the cutting room floor. Our leather partners cherish their hides, but no matter how carefully they cut their patterns, there will always be small seemingly unusable offcuts. To rescue this leather we developed a unique modular approach. We hand weave these fragments into whole new hides then lovingly recraft them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Our commitment to rescuing British fire-hoses remains the same, the trim, handles and internal detailing of the Fire & Hide range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. And we continue to donate 50% of profits to charity.

Our Fire & Hide Collection represents a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable, ethical, transparent, generous and kind.

Over het merk

Sinds 2005 redden Elvis & Kresse grondstoffen en transformeren deze naar luxe lifestyle-accessoires. Zo gebruikt Elvis & Kresse bijvoorbeeld de leerresten van Burberry in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, materiaal dat anders afval zou zijn. 

Eerlijk geproduceerd: de tassen van Elvis & Kresse worden eerlijk gemaakt in Engeland. Zij betalen hun medewerkers een leefbaar loon. Het label heeft een eigen productielocatie en dit is een gecertificeerde sociale onderneming.

Milieuvriendelijk: Elvis & Kresse maakt tassen van gerecycled materiaal. Zij verzamelen 12 verschillende afvalstromen en hergebruiken ze. Van brandslang tot leerafval en theezakjes. De volledige lijst is te vinden op hun website! Het label zuivert hun eigen water en is bezig met het bouwen van een volledig circulair waterzuiveringssysteem zodat er geen water het terrein verlaat. Over een paar jaar hopen ze volledig zelfvoorzienend te zijn met hun eigen water. Alle verpakkingen worden met de hand gemaakt in hun werkplaats in Kent. Van gerecycled materiaal, zoals oude dekens en theezakjes. 

Lokaal geproduceerd: de collecties worden volledig lokaal gemaakt in Engeland, ook van lokale materialen. 

Goed doel: Elvis & Kresse doneert 50% van hun winst aan goede doelen, zoals de Fire Fighters Charity en Barefoot College.
