Buns on Uniqlo Tees
Bread Talk has also launched a collaboration with Japanese clothing label Uniqlo, presenting an exclusive graphic T-shirt based on the signature Flosss bun. Drawn by award-winning artist Juliana Ong, the design, entitled “Every Bread Wants to Be Flosss”, portrays 15 pieces of bread in a queue to walk through a wall of floss.
Using UTme!, a new customised printing service, located in Uniqlo Bugis+, customers can select and print the designs that they like.
A limited edition Flosss tote bag ($5) is also available at Bread Talk. Every tote sold will see $0.50 donated to the Community Chest.
