ABOUT UNIQLO'S BACKGROUND
UNIQLO is a clothing apparel company, which was originally founded in Yamaguchi, Japan in 1949 as a textiles manufacturer. Now it is a global brand with over 1000 stores around the world. Redefining clothing, with a focus on quality and textiles which has been unwavered since the company’s origins in 1949.
The first UNIQLO store opened its doors in June 1984, proving the success of the SPA manufacturer retailer model controlling the entire process from product planning, production, distribution and marketing. UNIQLO enjoyed (and continues to enjoy) superb growth by providing high quality casual wear at remarkably affordable prices for men, women and kids.
Our clothes are simple and essential yet universal, so people can freely combine them with their own unique styles, in any way they choose, every day of the year.
Even since UNIQLOs humble beginnings in 1984, UNIQLO has continued to aspire towards excellence in quality, design and technology, and has managed to achieve as such. But even so, UNIQLO still strives onwards and upwards. Not in pursuit of perfection, but in evolution.
UNIQLO is more than just a clothing brand. But a way of thinking. A steady consciousness of constant change, diversity, and the challenging of conventions.
UNIQLO believes that everyone can benefit from simple, well-designed clothes. Because if all people can look and feel better every day, then maybe the world can be a little better too.
What first began as every day wear, UNIQLO has reinvented in Japan as LifeWear. LifeWear isn’t disposable clothing, but perfect components made with quality. We create LifeWear by evolving the ordinary, producing innovations big and small that benefit you ever day.
LifeWear. Simple made better.
