Uniqlo, a brand associated with 'fast fashion', has opened two up-cycle and repair shops in London.
"Located just a stone’s throw from London’s Savile Row, the tailoring hub where clothing is built to last decades, and makes multiple returns to its originators for mends, repairs and alterations, Re.Uniqlo Studio’s mission is to keep Uniqlo apparel items in circulation for longer, maximising their myriad possibilities.
"A dedicated space for pursuing a new future for clothes, the first Re.Uniqlo Studio opened on the lower ground floor at the brand’s Regent Street, London store; a second space launched at the opening of its new Battersea Power Station store in October 2022. The initiative aims to help customers enjoy Uniqlo LifeWear fully, freely and for longer by offering specialist repair services." - Simon Mills
