UNIQLO, the Japanese fashion retail giant, often collaborates – with global brands for its T-shirt line, UT, to give more people
This year, UNIQLO puts a local touch to its global connection by partnering with a homegrown global Filipino fast-food chain, Jollibee. UNIQLO creates Jollibee T-shirts that will be sold in South East Asian countries – Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
The limited edition Jollibee T-shirt line will feature Jollibee’s logo and eponymous mascot as the main T-shirt design. The ever-smiling Jollibee is easily one of the most well-loved icons in Filipino culture as it evokes memories and feelings of joy, childlike playfulness and close family ties.
“Jollibee and UNIQLO share the same goal of providing a valued offering to every Filipino family. Our partnership with Jollibee will bring us closer to every member of the Filipino family as UNIQLO offers clothes for everyone” said Katsumi Kubota, Fast Retailing Philippines, Inc.’s Chief Operating Officer.
“Our collaboration with Uniqlo affirms Jollibee’s place in the hearts of Filipinos and its status as a proudly Pinoy, internationally recognized icon. Aside
UNIQLO’s collaboration with a leading Filipino company is the first in a series of partnerships with other homegrown brands that have a global appeal.
UNIQLO is the leading apparel brand in the world that has always been true to its vision of making clothes that are made for all, going beyond age, gender, occupation, ethnicity and all other ways that define people.
