Since 2005, Elvis & Kresse have been rescuing raw materials, transforming them into luxury lifestyle accessories and donating 50% of profits back to charities. In 2005, we had a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. When we learned that London's damaged decommissioned hoses were headed to landfill, we mounted a rescue. We set up Elvis & Kresse to save it. For over a decade, none of London’s fire-hose has gone to landfill and over 200 tons of material has been reclaimed. In 2017, the Burberry Foundation partnered with Elvis & Kresse to tackle the even greater global problem of leather waste. This five-year partnership will see at least 120 tonnes of leather off-cuts from Burberry transformed into new luxury items, designed and sold by Elvis & Kresse.
