Made from decommissioned fire-hoses and lined with reclaimed military grade parachute silk, this robust water resistant messenger bag is stunning and easy to clean — just wipe it. We love that these retired hoses spent their years fighting fires and saving lives and are incredibly durable (after all, they are designed to survive the harshest of environments) are given a new start and transformed into this incredible piece.

What can you fit in there?

It's roomy. The founders, Kresse and Elvis use it for popping out. It's big enough for a laptop, an A4 pad and other essentials but small enough just to chuck in your tablet, wallet and keys and go.

Note: Because this item is coming from the U.K. customers may be charged an import duty.

Decommissioned fire-hoses and reclaimed military grade parachute silk

This innovative hand bag is handmade by artisans in the U.K. from reclaimed military grade parachute silk and de-commissioned British fire brigade hoses which, after a distinguished career fighting fires and saving lives, were otherwise destined for landfill. Hardware is ethically sourced in Europe through members of the Ethical Trading Initiative. Fifty percent of the profits from this item are donated to the Fire Fighters Charity.
