That Japanese Aesthetics

Because of its continued popularity in the Philippine market, UNIQLO Philippines launched a very special edition of its Thank You Festival last 24 May, celebrating UNIQLO’s global 40th anniversary.

During the festival, new services, exciting promotions and limited-edition UNIQLO novelty items was made available for all those who shop in UNIQLO stores nationwide and on UNIQLO.com/ph.

A meaningful gift during this Thank You Festival was the Upcycled Pouch made from upcycled denim scraps from UNIQLO’s alteration services. Those who shopped for their favorite items during the first two hours upon store opening got the pouch for free with any amount purchased at a UNIQLO store and through Click & Collection from 31 May to 2 June. These pouches were made together with Bukas Palad Foundation, a non-profit and non-governmental organization that provides sustainable development, education, livelihood to children, elderly, urban poor and victims of calamities and disasters.

“Thank You Mirrors” at the stores also gave customers taking selfies in their favorite UNIQLO outfits a chance to win P5,000 if they posted it on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok with the hashtag #UNIQLOThankYouFestival.
