Our Big Yellow Belt - handcrafted from rarer decommissioned yellow fire-hose with a solid West End buckle in a silver gun metal finish this 4cm belt really stands out in a crowd. No two yellows are the same as fire-hoses age their colour tends to darken which means that some of our belts can be a brighter English Mustard colour and others can be much closer to a tan. If you have any questions or preferences do let us know. At the moment we only have our darkest yellows available. Only 5% of fire-hose in the UK is ever yellow and what we receive to reclaim is even less than this. Every belt will be wholly individual proudly carrying with it the heroic firefighting history of the hose itself.
All our belts are measured from the fold that holds the buckle to the third hole. Sizes are: XS - 31” S - 33” M - 35” L - 37” XL - 39” XXL - 41”
The best way to ensure you receive the correct size is to measure an existing belt from the fold to the hole that you most use then pick the corresponding size from the table above. Other sizes may be available by request.
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 new 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 represent a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable ethical transparent generous and kind.
