What can the smoked and roasted fire hose be used for after all it has gone through? The answer from Martin Kelusenna and his brother Robert Kelusenna of Germany is: a fashion item.

After cleaning and cutting the fire hose, they make the materials into hand sewn messenger bags, purses, wallets and belts, etc., giving the recycle fashion trend a full shot. Robert said in his interview with reporter of Buyreplicahandbags.info that their products were well received by people of all age types and occupations, especially fire fighters, who had special feelings for this unique material and were willing to collection the full line.

It is difficult to imagine such beautiful bags are made of waste fire hose. Martin said that he dreamed to make handbags with unusual materials when he was in university, “I would like to recycle waste materials as a way to protect the environment”.

In 2005, Martin was studying for a degree in fashion design, and his thesis topic is about founding a luggage brand. He really created his own brand shortly after. After he has tried sacks, canvas and other materials, he finally chose fire hose to make bags and other accessories, and used their parents’ house as “production base”.

Soon, this “family workshop” developed into a successful small company. In early 2008, Martin established a new factory in Cologne, and asked his brother Robert to help. Now they have their own responsibility that Martin is responsible for the design and production, Robert is responsible for Marketing and Sales. “I hope that by designing unique high-quality products, to create a fashion that is sustainable, I want to prove that environmentally friendly products can also be very stylish, chic. I think now we have achieved this wish.” Said Martin.

There is no beauty to speak of the fire hose, then how they change to fashion items? Robert said that these fire hose had undergone extreme heat and flames, suffering from soot, grease and mud, sending thousands of cubic meters of water from fire service, so they must first be cleaned before use, and then be cut into appropriate shapes, and hand sewn into bags, belts and wallets using a special tool.

These fashion items are usually available in two colors: red and white, because in Germany fire hose is usually in these two colors. Martin finds that he can turn the black rubber side out so that there can a third color choice when designing laptop bags, “I believe that in the near future, the choice of color will be richer”. From a security, eye-catching point of view, now many fire departments begin to use fire hose with lemon yellow, yellow and black stripes, which provides better choices to Martin. Of course, because they haven’t be used for a long time, so the recovery amount is not too large, currently only some limited versions of bright color line are introduced annually.

Names of the product lines are very interesting, for example, the laptop bag series is called “Scott”, the large Messenger bag series is called “Walt,” handbag series is “Larry”, belt series “Bill”, and wallet series is named “Ted”, sounds like a tall strapping fire fighter. Although they are re-use works of waste, their price is not cheap. For example, a “Scott” laptop bag to 129 Euros, a “Larry” handbag 79 Euros, and the least expensive wallet, belt can cost € 39.
