Short description
Join the soul train
The Disco Bag was inspired by the effect created by a nightclub disco ball and the styling of a classic camera bag. This small leather crossbody bag is handcrafted using the finest rescued leather accentuated by our signature decommissioned fire-hose and is lined with reclaimed parachute silk. With a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap the bag is designed to be carried over the shoulder or across the body (or even as a clutch), our Disco Bag also has an inside zip pocket.
This small leather camera bag is also multi-coloured for another great reason. As you know, our leather is rescued, meaning we have no idea what colours we will collect or in what quantities. This means we will always have some spare pieces, in a range of colours, and not enough to make a whole range in a single colour. We create lots of different Disco Bags to make the most of these last pieces, hand-weaving and stitching each and every piece. The Fire & Hide Collection is the sumptuous blend of our signature fire-hose and rescued leather. The limited nature of our rescued materials means we can only ever create a few pieces in each variation.
Every option includes handles and trim in Elvis & Kresse's signature decommissioned fire-hose, which was previously deployed in active duty for up to 25 years, fighting fires around the UK.

About the brand
Since 2005, Elvis & Kresse have been saving raw materials, transforming them into luxury lifestyle accessories, and giving away half of their profits to charity. For example, Elvis & Kresse uses the leather scraps from Burberry in the United Kingdom, material that would otherwise be discarded.
Ethically produced: Elvis & Kresse bags are ethically made in England. They pay their employees above a real living wage and are an accredited Living Wage Employer. The label has its own production location and this is a certified social enterprise as well as a founding UK B Corporation.
Eco-friendly: Elvis & Kresse makes bags from niche repurposed material. They collect 15 different waste streams and reuse them. From fire hose to leather waste to tea sacks. The full list can be found on their website! The label also purifies their own water and is building a fully circular water purification system so that no water leaves the site. In a few years they hope to be completely self-sufficient with their own water. All packaging is made by hand in their workshop in Kent. Also made from reused materials, such as old printing blankets and parachute silk.
Locally produced: The collections are made entirely locally in England, from local materials.
Good cause: Elvis & Kresse donate 50% of their profits to charities. Their charity partners are the Fire Fighters Charity and Barefoot College.
