The Big Yellow Belt - handcrafted from rarer decommissioned yellow fire-hose with a solid West End buckle in a gun metal finish and matching gun metal eyelets this 4cm belt really stands out in a crowd.

Only 5% of fire-hose in the UK is ever yellow and what Elvis & Kresse receive to reclaim is even less than this. Every belt will be wholly individual, carrying with it the heroic history of the hose itself.

All their belts are measured from the fold that holds the buckle to the third hole.

Sizes are: S - 33” M - 35” L - 37”

THE FIRE-HOSE COLLECTION
Elvis & Kresse fell in love with London's decommissioned fire-hose back in 2005 through a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. They 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 their profits to charity.

For over a decade they 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.

Their 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.
