What: Uniqlo has officially launched its Re.Uniqlo Studio inside its Regent Street flagship where customers can repair, remake, reuse, and recycle their garments.

Why it is important: While the company had been offering its repair services in store since April, the new offer expands to include free alterations on selected bottoms and great alteration and tailoring services on a wider range of items.

In addition, customers will have access to elevated customization services and essential accessories will be available for customers who would like to repeat the techniques at home. Bespoke services and a range of one-of-a-kind Uniqlo garments which have already been mended will also be available for purchase.

Uniqlo will collect and donate clothing to in-need companies and all non-usable fabric will be recycled into raw materials for new clothing or energy sources. Instructional and inspirational books along with items that prolong the life cycle of clothing will also be available for purchase.
