When the sun starts to shine more and all the flowers are opening, I start to appreciate things that little bit more. The same goes for Uniqlo, who are spreading a little love this month with a program of specially-curated activities and giveaways. The Japanese apparel brand known for minimalist, clean-cut styles calls it Kanshasai. This Japanese word is broken down to mean Kansha – appreciation – and Sai, which means festival. Thus: the Appreciation Festival. Over two weeks (10.06–23.06.2021) the retailer has lined up dozens of giveaways including eco-friendly tote bags (get yours today, 10.06.), bags specially illustrated by artist Laura Breiling (17.06), vouchers for online floral shop Bloomon plus your chance to win a bike. The celebrations continue with in-store artworks from Berlin creatives including artist Ju Schnee, who has created a sculpture inspired by AIRism, the innovative keep-cool material from Uniqlo. The sculpture stands tall at the center of the Tauentzienstrasse store, mimicking the free flowing and lightweight form of the material. Blending Berlin art with Tokyo fabric technology, the installation is a worthwhile stop on your next shopping trip for summer basics (speaking of which: check out Uniqlo’s range of linen shirts, shorts and dresses while you are there). Pop by one of the six Berlin stores today or next Saturday (19.06.) where the team is serving up vouchers for free gyoza from Takumi-Ramen. We’ll be first in line!
