Reclaimed elegance

The Skinny Stitch Belt - Definitely one for the ladies, we call it skinny because it's just 1.75cm wide. Decommissioned fire-hose is transformed through meticulous craftsmanship and a contrasting elegant white stitching. The combination of our signature red fire-hose with an antique silver buckle creates a belt that looks as good with a pair of jeans as it does hugging that little black dress.

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.
