"UNIQLO's LifeWear philosophy has always emphasised quality and durability in our clothing. Moreover, we believe our responsibility is not only to produce and sell apparel that our customers can wear frequently and for a long time, but to also ensure clothing and materials last much longer," said Evelyn Tan, sustainability director of UNIQLO in Malaysia.
"Our RE.UNIQLO Studio at DA Square creates a great opportunity for us to partner with customers directly to sustain their personal LifeWear items, and foster more sustainable ideas about clothing in the community."

UNIQLO together with Asfarena Group hosted a Repair and Upcycling Workshop, equipping Malaysians with sewing techniques, as well as promoting upcycling and reducing textile waste.
