Just imagine:<\/p>\n
Well, don\u2019t imagine anymore. You will experience all these, and more at UNIQLO’s first Global Flagship Store for Southeast Asia at Orchard Central<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Opened on 2 September 2016, this 2,700 sq meters spanning 3 levels offers shoppers all the convenience, comfort and variety of apparels from the iconic and popular Japanese apparel brand, UNIQLO. Fans of the brand can expect a whole new shopping experience, thanks to the combination of the in-store design, full product line-up and visually stunning displays. Iconic rotating mannequins will be an integral part of UNIQLO Orchard Central, as well as close to 300 digital displays, the largest number anywhere in the UNIQLO world (yup even more than UNIQLO Ginza Global Flagship Store in Tokyo)!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than just Convenience:<\/strong> <\/p>\n When you enter the flagship store’s main entrance at Level 1, you will be welcomed by a dedicated UT<\/strong> (UNIQLO T-shirt)<\/strong> corner showcasing exclusive UT designs ranging from Star Wars , Marvel to Disney and more drawn from the most popular collaborations such as Olympia Le-Tan and Bruno Munari. The new Disney Collection City Logo UTs also include a unique Singapore design featuring Mickey Mouse with the iconic Merlion. See if you can spot it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Level 2 and 3 offers more pleasant surprises for shoppers but beyond the attractive visual layouts, we were particularly impressed with its warm customer service. It was really nice to be greeted with cheerful, ‘Welcome to UNIQLO!’ everywhere we turn and to see staff combing the store to hand out balloons and candies to kids. They were all smiles despite the weekend crowd. Staff are also armed with smart devices to scan bar codes to advice on stock and size availability so they won\u2019t disappear into a store and keep shoppers waiting. These info can be given almost immediately at their fingertips!<\/p>\n We have to mention its Children\u2019s Corner where book reading, face painting and balloon sculpting activities are held on weekends. This keep kids occupied while parents shop worry-free. Brilliant! Follow Uniqlo’s Facebook Page<\/strong><\/a> for the activities schedule.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than just Clothes:<\/strong> <\/p>\n UNIQLO’s Ultra Lightweight Down Jackets can be folded and packed into a compact pouch! This is a god-send as winter jackets tend to be so bulky and cumbersome yet amazingly, these UNIQLO jackets are virtually weightless! Imagine the space saving in the luggage! For tropical climates, they have the ‘AIRism’ series which dissipates heat while staying cool to touch, just what we need for Singapore’s hot and humid weather.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being a global flagship store, they are able to showcase a wider selection of Men, Women and Children’s clothes not available at other UNIQLO outlets. Its lux cashmere wool line is also unveiled exclusively at this Orchard Central store. We are amazed to find such a large collection of chic, comfy, stylish UNIQLO apparels at pocket-friendly prices, all under one roof.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than just Comfort:<\/strong><\/p>\n The new store concept for UNIQLO Orchard Central, \u201cU+S and The World<\/strong>\u201d is taken from the words UNIQLO + Singapore, signifying the company\u2019s intention to serve as a bridge between Singapore and the World. This store is envisioned as the definitive place where UNIQLO will share the creativity, style and culture of a new Singapore with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n To achieve that aim, UNIQLO collaborates with local community through a broad array of programs centred on the store\u2019s specially designed creative space as a launch pad for creativity and self-expression. Elements such as original in-store music, video content on the digital displays and curated spaces within the shop floor, as well as exclusive canvas tote bags and shopping bags, will all be co-created with the local community. Shoppers can also look forward to learning poetry writing and appreciation with poet Cyril Wong; picking up brush calligraphy with calligraphy expert, Craft Varies and getting tips on floral arrangement from florist Floral Magic.

\nWe visited the store last weekend to shop for HEATTECH apparels for our upcoming winter trip and were surprised to find such a wide range for babies to adults. The styles and cutting and colour of the apparels complement one another and this is so assuring \u2013 we don\u2019t have to worry about mismatched styles! In fact, we were so spoiled for choice browsing its extensive range of flannel shirts, cardigans, sweaters and fleece jackets and even fleece-lined pants for kids. We also discovered UNIQLO U<\/strong> – a chic line created by Christophe Lemaire and Uniqlo’s Paris R&D Center Team, which embodies the Uniqlo’s LifeWear philosophy of innovative, high-quality clothing for everyone, everywhere. <\/p>\n
\nUNIQLO invests heavily in the user needs and experience. Their revolutionary HEATTECH technology gives wintry clothes that light weight feel but yet keeping us warm and snug. For even colder climates, the HEATTECH Ultra Warm is their most technologically evolved and warmest HEATTECH ever, 1.5x warmer than HEATTECH Extra Warm. The excellent insulation of HEATTECH Ultra Warm gives unbeatable warmth even in the most extreme cold weather conditions. Perfect for our planned trip to cold Hokkaido this winter.<\/p>\n
