Uniqlo Battersea hosts pop-up in support of animal welfare charity

Global fashion retailer, Uniqlo, has partnered up with the animal welfare charity, Battersea, to raise money for the cause. The retailer's Battersea Power Station store is set to host a limited-time pop-up selling canine-clad apparel from Saturday 14 October.

The pop-up will feature exclusive upcycled canine apparel such as coats and bandanas made from upcycled Uniqlo items, including Ultra-Light Down and Blocktech.

As part of this project, the store will have five limited-edition UTMe! T-shirts on offer. Each design was created by the team at the renowned animal rescue, supporting the charity's ‘Here For Every Dog and Cat’ motto.

Becky MacIver, Battersea Centre Manager, commented: "We are excited to be partnering with Uniqlo’s Battersea store on products for both animals and humans.

"Not only will the upcycled dog coats keep pets protected now that cold and wet weather is creeping in, but rescue lovers will also be able to get involved with their very own Battersea t-shirts, wearing them with pride to support rescue."

Uniqlo x Battersea prices start at £12 and all profits will be donated to Battersea, allowing customers to support the charity’s mission of "being there for every dog and cat".
