This company recycles old fire hoses into hand-crafted luxury bags and accessories, and it donates 50% of its profits to the Fire Fighters Charity.
The company was founded in 2005 in Brixton, London, by James Henrit and Kresse Wesling, and it is now based in the Kent countryside, inside a rescued 19th-century flour mill., where they discovered that every year between 3 and 4 tons of damaged or old fire hoses were sent to landfill.
The couple set up Elvis & Kresse to save all this waste and promised they would donate 50% of their profits to the Firefighters Charity. Since then, 175 tons of material has been reclaimed and recycled, and the company started working with 15 other waste materials as well. One of them is leather.
