This Fire & Hide Pencil Case in British Racing Green from Elvis & Kresse is handmade from genuine decommissioned fire-hoses found around the UK and is blended with rescued Burberry leather. The interior of the pencil case has been lined with reclaimed military parachute silk for a wonderful feel, letting you carry your pens and pencils in style with this British brand icon. The fire hose material is filled with history having been deployed in active duty, putting out fires all over the UK in some cases for upwards of 25 years before being saved and repurposed into these limited Pencil Cases. Your Pencil Case will be seeped with heroic fire fighting history and is part of the fire & hide collection, meaning with the limited nature of their rescued materials makes these products unique and only around for a short while. Elvis & Kresse fell in love with London\'s decommissioned fire-hose back in 2005 through a chance encounter with the London Fire Brigade. They took this lifesaving material home determined to breathe new life into it and save it from its otherwise inevitable end in landfill, and vowed to donate 50% of our profits to charity. For over a decade they have been rescuing all of London\'s retired fire-hose by lovingly handcrafting them into sustainable luxury bags and accessories. Every year since, Elvis & Kresse have donated 50% of the profits from the Fire-hose Collection to The Fire Fighters Charity. This heroic material, once used to save lives, gets a second chance to keep giving back. - Brand: Elvis & Kresse - Dimensions: H 6 x W 22 x D 5 cm - Exterior: Genuine decommissioned British fire-hose combined with finest rescued Burberry leather - Lining: Reclaimed military-grade parachute silk - Ideal for carrying your stationary in style - Colour: British Racing Green - Presented in a reclaimed dust bag - Repaired for life - Handmade with hand-painted and bound edges - 50% of profits go to The Fire Fighters Charity
