Product Description
Overnight Bag | Fire-hose by Elvis & Kresse is a travel bag made for short trips, hand luggage packing, and everyday travel routines when you want something durable, practical, and easy to live with. The exterior is made from genuine decommissioned British fire hose, previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years fighting fires around the UK. Inside, the lining is made from a combination of reclaimed military grade parachute silk and rescued Burberry textiles from the brands Yorkshire workshop. Each bag is totally unique because no two hoses are ever the same, so colour, texture, and natural markings will vary from piece to piece.
The Overnight Bag | Fire-hose is designed to work as hand luggage, with generous sizing and an extra long double zip that makes access into the bag a cinch. It is the kind of bag that helps you pack once, move through your day, and keep essentials within reach without constant rummaging.
