You may be familiar with the embroidery services offered at UNIQLO, but did you know that you can also get everyone’s round shoulder bag customised?
Yes, we’re talking about the viral and versatile Round Mini Shoulder Bag (S$19.90) that comes in an array of fun colours, along with dirt-resistant and water-repellent properties.
If you’re always wanted to spruce up your bag with a personal touch, look no further than the embroidery services exclusively available at the UNIQLO Orchard Central Global Flagship store.
You can buy a bag on the spot (which is what I did), but according to the staff, you can bring one you’ve purchased in the past — only if you can show proof of purchase via a receipt or the UNIQLO app.
Prices start from S$10 per icon or text phrase, so simply let the staff know how many pieces of embroidery you’d like before making payment.
Afterwards, head over to the Embroidery booth (Custom Corner) on level 3 with your receipts.
There are three different customisation styles to choose from — Monochromatic Icons, Coloured Icons, and Text — in fixed sizes. Unfortunately, no embroidery service is available for original or self-created designs.
You may be tempted to go all out, but keep the price in mind, and choose wisely when you decide what to embroider your bag with, be it adorable-looking cats, dinosaurs, or even elements of Japanese culture (like sushi, tempura, or a sumo wrestler).
After choosing your desired placement, the staff will give you a form to fill in for collection later in the day.
The process can take around up to an an hour per item, depending on the design and store capacity, but in our case, we were at the booth at about 11.15am on a Thursday and were told to come back for collection at 4pm.
All things considered, it’s a fun way to inject some personality into an everyday staple. It also makes for a great gift, or a fun activity with your boo or bestie — who can say no to matching bags?
