Description
Sometimes all you need is a little balance...
Sometimes all you need is a little balance.
The Fire & Hide Backpack Lite has two adjustable straps made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose, a body made from rescued Burberry leather and a reclaimed lining.
It has one quick access external zip pocket, and two internal pockets - one perfect for an iPad or important documents and the other for your day-to-day essentials with a zip. The backpack will comfortably hold your iPad, book, travel wallet, and your everyday essentials. It has a grab handle at the top so you can carry this at your side. Our signature fire-hose completes the backpack with a durable wipe-clean base.
It is available in various finite leather colours. The leather we rescue comes to us in very limited quantities, which means we can only ever craft a few pieces of any colour. The variations we have available will always change according to what leather off-cuts we are able to rescue.
Every option includes handles and trim in genuine decommissioned fire-hose, which was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK.
50% of profits go to Charity

More from this Co
Elvis & Kresse
Kent, UK
Elvis & Kresse was established in 2005 to save London's decommissioned fire-hose, hoses that had become too damaged to repair and were going to landfill. We fell in love with these brave old hoses and mounted a rescue.
Today, Elvis & Kresse's highly skilled craftspeople make beautifully designed accessories (bags, belts and wallets) and homeware from 15 different reclaimed materials. We now have several charitable partnerships and collaborations across industries. 50% of profits from the fire hose range go to The Fire Fighters Charity. 50% of the profits from our rescued leather pieces are donated to Barefoot College International. In 2021 Elvis & Kresse also took on a farm in order to establish a regenerative agriculture project, generate their own renewables and implement a host of environmental initiatives.
Sustainable luxury since 2005: rescue, transform, donate.
