KIJIMA TAKAYUKI Sustainability Profile

KIJIMA TAKAYUKI is a hat brand that places emphasis on handcraft, traditional couture techniques, and long-term product use. The brand says its atelier in Tokyo makes products by hand, one by one, and that it uses traditional techniques and rare materials in its high-end line, HIGH LINE. Since 2021, it has also run the “answer It” project, which focuses on the future of hat-making and environmental sustainability through the reuse of vintage materials and parts. Recent collections have included functional features such as UV protection, water repellency, washability, and packability, reflecting an approach that combines style with practical use.
