JOIN WARRIOR GROUP'S FOUNDER KARLA MORALES-LEE FOR AN INSPIRING INNOVATION FIELD TRIP TO ELVIS & KRESSE'S FARM AND WORKSHOP
For decades, ‘sustainability’ has been the go-to buzzword in boardrooms. But minimisation is no longer enough. Regenerative business is set to be a central theme for the next decade.
But what does "regenerative business" really mean? Why does it matter? Where are the proven examples?
Join our invitation-only event for Warrior Group's clients and advisors: a Warrior field trip exploring the future of regenerative business.

About Elvis & Kresse
Elvis & Kresse stands out as a leading example of a regenerative business model, transforming waste materials into high-quality luxury goods while actively restoring environmental and social systems. Founded in 2005, the company began by reclaiming decommissioned London Fire Brigade hoses—materials otherwise destined for landfill—and turning them into elegant bags, belts, and accessories. Beyond circularity, Elvis & Kresse embeds regeneration into every part of its operations: 50% of profits are donated to charities such as the Fire Fighters Charity, and partnerships with organizations like the Burberry Foundation enable large-scale reclamation of leather offcuts. The company’s closed-loop manufacturing, renewable energy use, and community-driven ethos redefine what it means to create value—proving that profitability, restoration, and resilience can coexist at the heart of modern enterprise. Beyond fashion, Elvis & Kresse are increasingly embracing regenerative farming and soil-health practices as part of its broader regenerative business model, actively shifting from being purely a waste-recycling luxury accessory business into an organisation that restores land and ecosystems, embodying the “regenerative business” model rather than just circular.
