Award-winning hotel Zoku in Amsterdam was on the hunt for an original gift for their guests. After a short brainstorm we decided on shopping bags. Who doesn't need those?

For Zoku, their local connection is paramount. Because guests from all over the world book rooms and work in the beautiful hotel, an end product with a connection with Amsterdam had a strong preference. Buitink Technology, our partner for upcycled canvas, had just finished a project delivering the façade canvas for the temporary courthouse in, you guessed it, Amsterdam.

The bigger such a project, the more material ends up as cutting floor leftovers. Thanks to the large quantity of shopping bags we were able to save a large amount of this leftover material and give it a second chance!
