Why are we doing?

Auto-translated
Show original
Since its founding in 1960, ACE LUGGAGE has been a suitcase and bag factory.
Based on the philosophy of "bringing the joy of travel to everyday life," the original brand "Y43" proposes a way to bring back memories and emotions of travel, rather than just a means of transportation.
Of particular note is the "Tokaido Shinkansen × ACE LUGGAGE" series. It was born from an attempt to revive materials such as windows, seat fabrics, and vehicle aluminum on the Tokaido Shinkansen, which were scheduled to be discarded, in a new form.
 
 
By transforming the longing and memories of the Shinkansen that many people have into products that can be felt in daily life, we are creating new value by incorporating the excitement of travel into our daily lives.
Caring for the environment is also an important part of our mission. We are working to reduce the burden on the global environment by creating sustainable products that reduce waste and make effective use of resources.
Based in Hokkaido, we continue to create products that serve as a bridge between travel and everyday life while fusing Japan's manufacturing tradition and innovation. We not only support travel by manufacturing and selling suitcases and bags, but also aim to add color to our customers' daily lives by giving shape to the memories and emotions of their trips.
 
 

What are we doing?

We continue to take on the challenge of creating unique value by breathing new life into materials that would otherwise be discarded and leaving memories of our travels in form.
In the Y43 Tokaido Shinkansen series, materials that would otherwise be discarded are recycled using two approaches: recycling and upcycling.
For recycling, the window (polycarbonate material) of the Tokaido Shinkansen N700 series type A is processed into granules and 30% is blended into the main shell of the suitcase. It took many failures and reconsiderations until we found the perfect balance between strength and suppleness. It was an unprecedented challenge to utilize the same polycarbonate material but with completely different handling methods for bullet train windows.
In upcycling, the moquette fabric for the seats is washed and processed and transformed into various products such as suitcase interiors, key chains, and cushion covers. This fabric, called "velvet" or "velvet", is characterized by its high-quality appearance and feel, and the texture that has been used for many years is also valued as a taste.
 
In addition, recycled aluminum taken from the vehicle is used as a badge. This recycled aluminum also has the environmental advantage of reducing CO2 emissions during manufacturing by 97% compared to new aluminum. (Reference: Press release on the use of recycled aluminum for station buildings on the Tokaido Shinkansen)
As an item approved by JR Central and licensed for commercialization by JR Japan West, we provide genuine value as an item.

Who are supporting us?

The Tokaido Shinkansen× ACE LUGGAGE series is supported by a wide range of people, from railway fans to design enthusiasts and those with a high interest in sustainability.
In particular, it has received high praise from those who want to cherish the memories of actually traveling on the Shinkansen and those who want to incorporate travel elements into their daily lives. Suitcases are especially popular with travel enthusiasts who value practicality, while small items such as keychains and cushions are especially popular with railway goods collectors and those who are particular about interiors.
 
We have received comments such as, "I miss the texture of the seats, and I feel like traveling every time I use them every day," "I'm happy to be able to choose environmentally friendly products," and "It's special to be able to carry a part of the Shinkansen that I've admired since I was a child."
The reliability of the item as a regular item that has been approved by JR Central and licensed for commercialization by JR West Japan is also the reason why it is chosen by many customers. Products made from genuine Tokaido Shinkansen materials have more value than souvenirs, and are used as special items that evoke the excitement of travel in daily use.
