Elvis & Kresse are constantly thinking about waste. The instant we met the London Fire Brigade we fell in love with their old hose. Although we started in London, E&K now collect hose across the UK and in order to thank Britain’s Brigades, 50% of our profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. We 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.
All of E&K's products have the environment at their core - industrial waste is the cornerstone of our brand... These are some of the materials we reclaim
- Condemned fire-hose
- Waste coffee sacks
- Scrap sail cloth
- Used Air Traffic Control flight strips
- Repurposed sunglasses and optician's boxes
- Reclaimed pewter for our belt buckles
- Parachute silk
- Decommissioned office furniture textiles
We are always looking to take on new waste materials, so if you have any commercial and industrial waste, we would love to hear from you!
