Sometimes all you need is a little balance.
Elvis & Kresse have two bags to spread the weight of your necessities across your shoulders the larger Backpack and the more compact Backpack Lite.
The Fire & Hide Backpack has two adjustable straps made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose a body made from rescued Burberry leather and a reclaimed lining.It has a quick access external zip pocket and two internal pockets - one perfect for a small laptop or important documents with a stud closure and the other for your day-to-day essentials with a zip. The backpack will comfortably carry a 13" laptop iPad book travel wallet a change of clothes 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 water resistant and 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.
