Product Description
Small Backpack by Elvis & Kresse is a compact backpack designed for days when you want to carry only what you need and keep your hands free. The design combines rescued Burberry leather with genuine decommissioned British fire hose and a reclaimed lining. Every option includes handles and trim in decommissioned fire hose that was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years fighting fires around the UK. Because the leather is rescued in limited quantities, the available leather colours are finite and will change depending on what off cuts can be saved.
This backpack is built around simple practical organisation. On the outside, a quick access external zip pocket keeps essentials close, such as keys, travel cards, or a small wallet. Inside, there are two internal pockets. One is designed to hold an iPad or important documents, and the other is a zipped pocket for day to day essentials you want secured. The small backpack will comfortably hold your iPad, book, travel wallet, and everyday essentials, making it a strong choice for city breaks, museums, commuting, and travel days when you do not want a larger bag.

Product Story
Small Backpack is designed around freedom to explore with less. Elvis And Kresse combines rescued Burberry leather with their signature decommissioned fire hose for straps, trim, and a durable base. The fire hose was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, and the lining uses reclaimed materials. Limited leather quantities mean each colour option is made in small runs, shaped by what materials can be rescued at the time.
50% of profits go to charity, connecting the product to a wider purpose beyond the bag itself.
A Small Swap That Matters
A compact backpack that fits your iPad, documents, and daily essentials can replace multiple small bags that only work for specific moments. When one piece covers commuting, city breaks, and travel days, it becomes easier to buy fewer items overall and use what you already own more often.
Choosing this Small Backpack made with rescued materials and supported by a repair service is a practical way to support longer product lifecycles. Pack it, use it often, care for it well, and let one well made backpack do the work of several.
