Every single piece we make is a one-of-a-kind.
It is primarily due to our cherished raw materials. They are rescued. They have lived a life before coming to us. Fire-hoses change with age, they darken, they weather, they get lovely scars as they go about their business saving lives. The hoses are also stamped with their brand, Angus Duraline, their type, their British Standard mark and their date of extrusion. When we clean the hose and cut it into patterns to stitch into our final pieces these marks all fall in different places.
It’s true that two pieces can be made from the same pattern and may appear similar, but each Elvis & Kresse fire-hose piece is unique and will never be exactly the same.
50% of the profits from our Fire hose collection are donated to
