Elvis & Kresse not only use decommissioned fire hoses; the lifestyle accessories also bring repurposed sail cloth, Air Traffic Control flight strips, coffee sacks, cardboard and parachute silks into the mix. What is less known when it comes to Elvis & Kresse is the social side of things. Firstly, 50% of profits from the Elvis & Kresse fire hose line go to the Fire Fighters Charity, which is a non-profit organization that aims to enhance the quality of life for former firefighters—many of whom suffer from physical injuries that occurred while on duty. Secondly, Elvis & Kresse employs workers from Poole’s Remploy factory, an organization that helps people with disabilities find work. In addition to their commitment to the Fire Fighters Charity, Elvis & Kress also make donations to charities.
