Takihyo Co., Ltd. (Head office: Nishi Ward, Nagoya City; Representative Director and President: Kazuo Taki), a textile trading company founded in 1751, has collaborated with Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel, operated by Fujita Kanko Inc., to produce original tote bags made from upcycled guest room curtains that were no longer needed following the hotel’s large-scale renovation. These tote bags are offered as a benefit for guests staying under the “The Fujita Members Exclusive Renovation Commemorative Plan,” which began accommodating guests on Friday, July 17, 2026.

[Background and Story of the Initiative]
This project marks the second cross-industry collaboration with Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel, following the provision of recycled polyester furnishings (foot throws and cushions) for the “Yurikamome 30th Anniversary Collaboration Room” implemented in October 2025.
As the hotel underwent a large-scale renovation of its lobby and guest rooms, the guest room curtains, which have provided comfort to countless guests, reached the end of their service. Our commitment to sustainability, which involves cherishing limited resources and ensuring nothing goes to waste, resonates deeply with the hotel’s need to pass on its memories and resources to the future. By combining our company’s manufacturing expertise, we have realized this project, which breathes new life into curtain fabric that would otherwise be discarded, transforming it into sustainable, value-added tote bags.

[Overview and Features of the Products and Initiatives]
We repurposed curtain fabric that was no longer needed during the renovation of the hotel guest rooms to create original tote bags as a benefit for guests. They feature the sturdy texture unique to the curtain fabric and a simple, easy-to-use design.

Feature 1: Upcycling that weaves memories
The curtain fabric, which has graced the hotel guest rooms and provided a relaxing atmosphere for guests for many years, has been reused. Since the texture, color, and pattern vary depending on where the fabric was cut, each tote bag is unique and has a truly one-of-a-kind special look.

Feature 2: Pride in manufacturing that reduces environmental impact
By upcycling materials that were planned for disposal into attractive items, we contribute to reducing waste and mitigating environmental impact. Our products feature reliable quality, made possible by leveraging our long-cultivated expertise in the planning and production of textile products.

Feature 3: Co-creating sustainability experiences through accommodation experiences
By offering these as a benefit of the “The Fujita Members Exclusive Renovation Commemorative Plan,” we aim to allow guests to experience our sustainable initiatives and create an opportunity to share ethical awareness in their daily lives.

[Future Outlook]
As a “sustainable solutions company,” we will use this collaboration as a model case and continue to work with like-minded partner companies, including those in the hotel industry, to promote sustainable initiatives that make effective use of resources, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society and future generations.
