LifeWear
Great clothing can enhance the lives of people everywhere. We give back to communities at local and global level, here’s what we’ve achieved this year with your help.
RE.UNIQLO studio expansion
This year we’ve launched eight new RE.UNIQLO studios in Europe, so you can enjoy wearing your UNIQLO clothing for longer. As of today we operate 36 studios globally, 12 of them are in Europe, and 11 of these offer our brand new embroidery service. Our ambition is to have 50 studios globally in one year’s time. As of today, we offer customers in the following cities our repair and upcycling services: London, Manchester, Paris, Copenhagen, Milan, Antwerp, Luxembourg, Berlin, Madrid.
Peace for All charity T-shirt project
Peace For All has to date featured designs from 33 contributors and sold more than 2.3 million T-shirts worldwide; raising over 4.77 Million USD* for UNHCR (The UN refugee agency), Save The Children, and Plan International. Shop the Peace for All collection here.

Giving Tuesday
As part of our Arigato festival, UNIQLO Europe launched fundraisers with our Adyen payment provider to benefit local charities across nine regions. Thanks to our customers' generous contributions both in-store and online, we raised more than 114 000 € for four charities: The Trussell Trust, Samu Social Paris, Tafel Deutschland, and PLAN International. In addition, UNIQLO matched customer donations of 39 000 € across three markets.
