UNIQLO: From Tokyo to New York to Global Brand

[thelion1856]

so does the SoHo flagship store carry the same stuff the Japanese stores carry? Or is it a different division where the UNIGLO in NY is made in america?

[almondcrush]

as a former uniqlo usa employee i cant say i agree with their stock allocation (very inefficient, lots of shipping back and forth between branches and continents) or the relative neglect for their other stores once the flagship opened up

still love the brand aesthetic though

[seraphim]

they'll do fine as long as they don't over expand and stick to NYC, LA, Hawaii, SF.

but uniqlo is already in London...

Looks like it's all over for UNIQLO.

^ I dont get it. Educate me. lol.

But I still think they'll do fine if the stick to stores in the megacities.

[mizanation]

they will be fine.

[emaze]

yeah I agree they're not going anywhere in NYC.

Yeah can anybody shed some light on this? Going to NYC in the summer, dunno if i should hold out then or jus order it from Japanese site iva proxy.

Thanks for this tip! I headed down and it was a very interesting presentation with lots of insight.

I had a few questions to ask, but question time got cut short. I picked up the Uniqlo Paper No. 2 which had a great story on Kaihara denim. I'll post it here a bit later.

NYC uniqlo store is great, employees are all really helpful unlike many other soho stores
