UNIQLO_RE.UNIQLO Studio Gives Your LifeWear More Personality and Longer life with new Embroidery Service
As we ease into the festive season, UNIQLO brings a new twist to gifting with its latest offering at the RE.UNIQLO Studio in Glorietta 5, Manila. Celebrating its first anniversary, the studio introduces an embroidery service that allows customers to add personal flourishes to their LifeWear pieces. This new personalization option isn’t just a creative upgrade; it extends the lifespan of garments in a stylish, sustainable way.
The RE.UNIQLO Studio in the Philippines has become a local hub for UNIQLO’s core values: reuse, repair, and recycle. Over its first year, the studio primarily offered repair services, keeping LifeWear pieces in top shape through minor fixes. But now, UNIQLO adds a dash of artistry to the mix. With over 80 designs to choose from, including seasonal motifs, pets, flowers, and food, your LifeWear pieces can reflect more than just fashion—they can mirror your personality. The embroidery can even conceal small tears or worn spots, offering a chic solution to wardrobe maintenance.

To celebrate the launch, UNIQLO partnered with Basically Borrowed, a circular fashion startup, for a fashion swap event. Attendees brought gently used LifeWear items to swap, reinforcing the RE.UNIQLO Studio’s mission of promoting sustainable practices. Jessie Jiang, founder of Basically Borrowed, shared, “Seeing a major brand champion sustainability like this is not only refreshing but also essential. It shows a commitment to positive change in both our environment and communities.”
The service at RE.UNIQLO Studio is accessible to anyone with a LifeWear piece, new or old. Customers can personalize tops, bottoms, and even bags. Pricing is straightforward, with icons available at Php 250 each. Text, which can further personalize the garment, starts at Php 200 for shorter designs, making custom embroidery an affordable way to give your wardrobe—or your gifts—an upgrade. Whether it’s initials on a pocket, a pet’s silhouette on a sleeve, or a holiday icon, these designs ensure your UNIQLO staples are uniquely yours.
