The Mills, established in Tsuen Wan since the 1950s, has revitalized its legacy through community-focused exhibitions and textile collaborations. For the first time, we are partnering with UNIQLO and local illustrators: Mon Cheung, Wing Lo, Wai Wai, and Kazy Chan to launch an exclusive UTme! series. This collection features four unique T-shirt designs inspired by The Mills’ history, artifacts, and community connections. Experience how UNIQLO and The Mills blend tradition with modernity, celebrating the essence of Tsuen Wan through this special LifeWear collection.
The newly launched The Mills UTme! series features four distinct illustrations that capture memorable moments and milestones of The Mills:
A lively depiction of Bruce the cat and his pet strolling and “checking in” at The Mills shopfloor.
Sand bucket, once used for firefighting and now a decorative element in the factory, symbolizes the fusion of old and new cultures through its integration with The Mills architecture.

Let’s Build a Textile Village, emphasizing how The Mills connects with the community through art.
