Maybe some of you already heard about Muji. Founded in 1980, Its origin was a thorough rationalization of the manufacturing process with an eye to creating simple, low-cost, good quality products. The products are succinct, but they are not in the minimalist style. here are more than 700 MUJI stores around the world, carrying more than 7,000 items ranging from clothing and household goods to food and even houses. I’ve seen some posts on social media about the store and I’ve been visiting one store to check out and I think it would be good to write about it.
It’s the kind of store to find a little bit of everything, you know? In the clothing section, there are women’s and men’s pieces, with a timeless footprint. As we are in the winter, I have seen many jackets, jackets, sweaters, shirts and long sleeve sweaters, all in neutral tones or discreet and classic prints, priced from $10. There are also jeans and socks. There are also a variety of dishes, bowls, glassware and other containers, plus pans. The stationary section includes diversified pens, stamps, notebooks and post-its. In the bed, table and bath session, there are towels, blankets and sheets. Who loves organization also find products in this category. Muji even has a line of cosmetics, with essential oils, body and face products, as well as accessories such as makeup brushes.
Muji is, really, that kind of store that you can find everything. Although clean design, I liked everything I saw there and found the prices very affordable. To get an idea of the values practiced, just check out the website. When I was there, several winter pieces were 30 and 50% off. Muji has five stores in New York.
