OK lang yan. most of the products in 100 yen shops in Japan are made in China

My favorite is the UT line of clothes from Uniqlo. specially their anime collection. Dami ko naiuwi dito sa Pinas nun. Pinamigay ko sa mga friends ko as pasalubong.

I have a friend who compared it to Topshop.

Price range pa lang di na pwede sa Top Shop

This is like Bench in Japan

But far far batter than Bench!

Pansin ko nga na pang-masa ang price nito.

I saw this on their website.

Hopefully they will have the Gundam shirt.

Anyhoo, how the heck did Chito Miranda became an endorser of UNIQLO?!

Blame the Store Manager Trainee's

aside from the local endorsers of Uniqlo, top ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic now wears Uniqlo

[Ahura Mazda]

Blame the Store Manager Trainee's

Why? They're the ones who tapped Miranda as endorser?

madami dami din ang made in vietnam nila ngayon

Made in China pero mas maganda naman ang quality ng UNIQLO kaysa sa mga allegedly Made in USA clothes ng Forever 21.

window shopped sa uniqlo sa hk, mukhang ok naman clothes. for me, it's way better sa forever 21 (parang ang nipis kasi ng mga tela nila, parang rags) and bench.

and napansin ko lang, kahit sa ibang forums, parang nagugulat mga tao na it's made in China. DUH! Almost everything is made in China. Mga famous US brands, made in china na in. KAhit na japanese brand pa yan, including muji, it's also made in china. better branded na made in china, at least kahit papaano, meron quality control.

I guess it would be too much to ask if Uniqlo will be made in Japan

[Daiju]

So it's made in China? It's not Chinese product DUH!

Clothes are just made in China because labor is cheaper there, but all else are from Japan.

Ano bey.


Iphone is also made in China Btw..

[gooseberry]

Wow. You're all getting worked up by a simple thing like where it's made?

Maybe you should focus on helping the economy better by shopping for products with quality AND made in the country.

[Daiju]

Made in the Philippines is worst than made in China, TBH.

If Uniqlo's shirts will be priced at around 800 then it's more mahal than Bench.
If Uniqlo's denims (like the ones advertised sa buses) would be priced around 1K regular price then it would be around the same (Bench now has 800 to 1400 -- the new ones this season seem to have a higher price point). Pero Bench can go down to 400-500 for the off price, really random Daily Jeans.

I think if you're a Bench/F&H/F21 habitue then Uniqlo would be a another source, especially for basics (excited to restock on Uniqlo cardis!). Muji kase ang mahal huh, basics din naman.

Funny how some people bash Bench's quality, I think they do rather well, I think much better than F&H at least. And geez, Forever 21, they only look good on the rack, minsan hindi pa, ampangit ng tahi, ampangit ng tela, mas mahal pa sa local brands. I don't know about the ladies' clothes pero yung for guys pfffft. At least Uniqlo and Bench mas pulido, maganda rin naman ang tela. Corny na kung corny pero Bench would always be a no-fail place for me to get something on the go (as long as I don't resort to buying their stuff with huge logos).

Some Lacoste Short Sleeve Polo (not polo shirt) are made in Philippines :-)

Check first personally the products of Uniqlo before you compare it with Bench and other local brands :-) I think the main reason you like Bench because it fits your budget.The rest of your comments are pure sourgraping :-)
