RE.UNIQLO Repair Studio guest takeover with Sho Konishi
RE.UNIQLO Repair Studio guest takeover with Sho Konishi. Sho Konishi hosted a Patchwork Workshop at our RE.UNIQLO Repair Studio on Saturday, October 1. Sho added custom jean scraps and kimono patches to their UNIQLO Jeans and Down Products, giving new life to their clothing and keeping these scraps out of landfill! The first 20 participants received a custom upcycling sewing kit from Sho, so they may practice what they learned at home. Keep an eye out on social media for our next event!

Clothing Care Guide
Wool Care Guide
Wool garments require less care than you might think
since they're naturally antibacterial.
They won't catch unwanted odors easily after use,
meaning they don't need to be washed as often.
Hang them outside to air after use and spray them
with fabric freshener if needed.
Hand wash and always store them folded in a drawer,
since hanging them will make them lose their
shape.
And remember: when you're washing clothes made of
wool, always use an enzyme-free detergent free.
Denim Care Guide
Jeans are a unique garment as they increase in value
over time.
A pair of well-worn jeans are a dream to own.
Denim should be washed infrequently; ideally, you
can go months without washing your jeans.
Instead, air them as often as you can, and spray
with fabric freshener if they've caught unwanted
smells.
And if you need to clean them, wash your jeans
inside out on a gentle spin cycle in and in cold
water.
Use a detergent specially made for denim. Never
tumble dry; instead, hang them up or lay them flat.
Silk Care Guide
The best way to care for your favorite silk garments
is to hand wash them.
Use a detergent made for delicate fabrics and wash
in cold water.
Unfortunately, some silk garments must be dry
cleaned, but not all.
Steaming is preferred over ironing; an iron might
leave scorch marks on the fabric.
Cotton Care Guide
Cotton garments are not as sensitive as, for
example, silk.
Due to the fiber structure, it can be tumble-dried,
ironed, and steamed.
Refresh your cotton garments after wearing them by
steaming and spraying with fabric freshener if
needed.
This way, you will prolong the time between
washes.
Use a detergent made for colored clothes and a
separate detergent for white clothes.
Outerwear Care Guide
Down jackets don't need to be washed too often since
frequent washing makes the down lose its
fluffiness.
Instead, make a habit of airing your down jacket and
occasionally spraying it with fabric freshener.
Using an enzyme-based detergent when you wash will
dissolve the natural oils, and the jacket will lose
some of its insulation.
Instead, use an enzyme-free detergent.
Rinse out all detergent residues and tumble dry,
inside out, at a low temperature.
Add 3 or more clean tennis balls to the tumble dryer
and let the cycle run until your jacket has
completely dried.
Pause to shake the jacket occasionally, as you want
the down to spread equally throughout.
The jacket is ready to wear when it's completely dry
and has a fresh smell.
Synthetics Care Guide
Sports detergent is perfect for activewear, like
sweaty gym clothes made of synthetic blends.
Sports detergent will specifically target bacteria
that cause unwanted odors.
Choose a short spin cycle and wash at a low
temperature (max 86ºF) to save water and energy.
This way, your sportswear will last longer.
Sports detergent is also an excellent detergent for
washing cotton textiles, sheets, duvet covers, and
all your garments made of cotton.
