A bold classic
The Fire & Hide billfold wallet combines hand-woven rescued leather and decommissioned fire hose and is lined with reclaimed parachute silk. This wallet was our first Fire & Hide piece, we made a few a couple of years ago and have been putting them to the test ever since. Elvis has been loving the first sample, red leather on red hose, for over 2 years.
The Fire & Hide Collection
Our commitment to rescuing British fire hoses has not changed, the trim, handles and internal detailing of the Fire & Hide range are all made from genuine decommissioned fire-hose. But fire hose was just the beginning of our story.
Each year, 800,000 tonnes of beautiful leather ends up on the cutting room floor. Our leather partners, the best of British luxury, cherish their hides and the waste they produce is in small seemingly unusable pieces. In order to rescue these fragments we developed a modular approach. We created three shapes that interlock to create whole new hides. Each shape is individually cut before we lovingly hand weave them together, piece by piece, creating a strong, beautiful and tactile new material.
Fire & Hide is more than a collection, it represents a whole new kind of luxury.
