UNIQLO is a Japanese fashion brand. A global success, UNIQLO was founded in 1949 in Ube, Yamaguchi, Japan. Inspired by the idea of “unique clothing,” the brand was registered as uni-clo, but the clerical staff made an error, and UNIQLO was born instead. Expanding worldwide with stores in the United States, South Korea, Australia, and the United Kingdom, UNIQLO is known for its quality, affordable basics.
