EaKo fire-hose range now @ Pure Design; eco accessories for men and women

Tweet this Post EaKo is a fantastic design company that has a knack for converting unloved, discarded and down-right dirty waste – into highly desirable and durable pieces of design. Their love affair with fire hose is a great case in point.

EaKo say “The instant we met the London Fire Brigade we fell in love with their old hose. Although we started in London, EaKo now collects hose across the UK and in order to thank Britain’s Brigades, 50% of our profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. We scrub away all the soot, grease, and everything else that builds up after 25 years of active duty, and in the process reveal a truly remarkable, truly green textile.”

Watch a short clip featuring Kresse Wesling; social entrepreneur and founder of EaKo by clicking here.

Their designs are now available from Pure Design online, and include the 'slider' a great casual belt - which originally came to fame at the Live Earth concert. Other designs include 'round and round', 'fire and eyes' and 'big yellow'. And because the belts are made from incredibly durable fire-hose, they looked great for ages. Belts come in a range of sizes and the different styles to suit women and men.

In addition to their belt range, EaKo have designed a range of bags including a stylish and waterproof travel bag and a card holder (girls – these are brilliant Xmas presents for the guys), a Tote bag (a great Xmas pressie for the girls) and a unisex Messenger bag.

All of these items and more belts are available from our online gallery, click here to view all EaKo products in store.

Scotland-on-Sunday 'Style Bible' reviews Susiemaroon & Pure Design

Tweet this Post
Pure Design is not just about selling work, it's also about raising awareness of eco-design amongst shoppers, and raising the profiles of UK eco-designers.

Don't get me wrong, Pure Design is a business and aims to be a thriving one at that, but it is also a social enterprise, and one of our key ambitions is to show people there are beautiful, green, designer UK alternatives to mass-produced products - and to promote the designers behind this work.

This piece of press in Scotland-on-Sunday was valuable in terms of sales but also really encouraging as it shows people want to hear about beautiful eco products. It is also pleasing to see how Pure Design is able to support designers and bring their work into the limelight.

If you are an eco-designer and interested in discussing your work with Pure Design please drop us a line. I will do my best to respond to your inquiry as quickly as I can. Email me on elaine'at'puredesigncompany.co.ukTweet the Post

Tweet this Post Featured in Melinda Ashton Turner's article 'Inner Vision' (in the Home section of Sunday Times, July 13th 2008), Susiemaroon's place mats were named amongst the 'best new designs and deals for your home'.

We were thrilled to see that out of the designer work selected, Susie's place mats were awarded the coveted eco-design slot as the 'The Green Room' product in Melinda's feature. Well done Susie!

The place mats are made from organic calico and cotton and trimmed in vintage French lace. The mats are embellished with embroidery in one of the four motifs from Susie's Assemble range. The detail of the place mats is so attractive - we wouldn't want to cover them up! The place mats are available to order now through our gallery, priced at £24 for one, or £80 for a set of four plus p&p. Custom made, production and delivery can take up to 4-6 weeks during busy periods, although we will do our best to get them to you sooner, and will notify you when they are being posted.

There is certainly no accounting for taste! This water 'butt' has been featured on Eco Street....

If this doesn't demonstrate the need for more stylish eco-designers I don't know what will!!!

I don't even think I can excuse it by saying, 'at least it's eco'. Oh dear. Apparently it is available in white, tan or brown. Thank goodness it's a limited offer.

Eco-designers help us!
