Joshua Williams: Hello, Sass. Welcome back. Who are we featuring this month?
Sass Brown: We're featuring Elvis and Kresse.
Joshua Williams: Ah, the duo out of the UK who started with a very specific fabrication. Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Sass Brown: They did indeed. They started with decommissioned fire hoses, so very particular resource that of course, much like military equipment gets decommissioned quite quickly, because you're talking about health and safety here. So you don't want to a fire hose with a hole in it or a worn patch, so they get decommissioned quite quickly and there's very hard-wearing resource material. They make a whole line of accessories; bags, everything from little small wallets, all the way up to a great big weekend bags and totes out of these seamed together, decommissioned fire hoses.
And they have this fantastic sort of patina and wear on them from use. Of course, the whole story of where they came from and their function prior to being a bag. But they're really slick, beautiful bags and purses and wallets and totes that they make out of this material. They're really lovely.
