JAPANESE fashion brand Uniqlo has opened its first store in Scotland in Edinburgh, featuring a special Irn-Bru inspired product.
The new shop will be the 19th branch in the UK, although shoppers in Scotland are excited to have one north of the Border, with the shop due to open at 9am.
The first 100 customers through the door will be gifted a special goody bag while app scan customers are to be entered into a draw to win a trip to Tokyo.
Upon opening, shoppers can expect to see the brand’s 2024 spring/summer line as well as its full range of clothing for women, men, babies and children.
The brand is particularly well known for its crossbody bag and those heading to the Edinburgh store will be able to get it with a unique Scottish twist.
As part of its embroidery service, there are a number of Irn-Bru themed patches available to have put on suitable items right in the store at a specialist counter.
The chief operating officer of Uniqlo UK Alessandro Dudech said: “At Uniqlo, we are deeply committed to supporting and enriching the communities where we operate.
“The opening of our new store in Edinburgh represents an exciting opportunity to forge lasting connections with local residents, businesses and organisations.

“Edinburgh is a city of great cultural and historical heritage, and we are excited to partner with a few of the many people who help to make the city so vibrant.”
He added: “Together, we will show how LifeWear brings people together, transcending differences in everyday lives.
“We invite the people of Edinburgh to join us in celebrating the opening of our new store and to be part of this exciting milestone with us.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
