What can you fit in there?
This is a deceptively roomy bag big enough for a 13" laptop an A4 pad and all your other daily essentials but small enough just to chuck in your tablet wallet and keys and go....
We also offer a Limited Edition 'Print Room' version of our classic Messenger bag. Made from reclaimed printing blankets combined with our signature decommissioned fire-hose this limited edition bag really makes a statement. The re-engineered black printing blanket creates a visually stunning textile that is strong and beautiful to the touch. This version of the bag maintains all the design features of the full fire-hose version as described above.
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 represents a whole new kind of luxury. One that is sustainable ethical transparent generous and kind.
