Customers who ​ order online can ​ collect their purchases as soon as the store opens on 26 October. The first 100 customers to collect their order will receive the hugely popular round mini shoulder bag as a gift!

For the opening of the UNIQLO Grand-Rue store, the retailer has partnered with various local talents and institutions in order to showcase their work as well as connect with the local community. ​ 

In line with other partnerships UNIQLO has established with major art institutions like the MOMA in New York, Tate Modern in London and the Louvre in Paris, aiming to make Art accessible to All, is the collaboration with Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean whose mission is to collect, conserve and present the most relevant contemporary art of our time and make it easily accessible to all. 

UNIQLO customers will be able to discover an exclusively curated reading area by Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean at ​ the heart of our store. Here you will find books published by Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, inviting people to sit down and enjoy a moment of reading during a shopping spree. The reading area curated by the Museum’s director Bettina Steinbrügge will be regularly updated.

Another ​ partnership worth a store visit is with furniture designer Julie Conrad. Julie, known for choosing recycled materials in her designs, proposes and develops collections that combine functionality and aesthetics, always with a narrative approach. For the UNIQLO Grand-Rue store, not only did Julie design the reading area space, but she also created ​ the Loom Chairs. These chairs that have ​ a simple wooden frame and a textile seat, developed in collaboration with carpenter Norbert Brakonier, ​ have their seat ​ woven from fabrics taken from clothes brought in by customers as part of our RE.UNIQLO initiative.

Furthermore, to celebrate the opening of the first store in Luxembourg, we have asked ​ Luxembourg-native illustrator, Lynn Cosyn, known for her colorful, imaginary world of whimsical, poetic characters. to create an exclusive tote bag that will be offered to ​ the first 100 customers.
