About MUJI
1980 · Ryohin Keikaku
MUJI ("Mujirushi Ryohin" — no-brand quality goods) launched in 1980 as a private-label line at Seiyu supermarkets in Japan, with the conscious anti-marketing pitch that the product, not the brand, was the point. The apparel program has steadily migrated to organic cotton on its core staples (oxford shirts, basic tees, underwear), recycled-wool sweaters, and Mongolian cashmere, all priced at the high end of mass market.

Why it's in our catalog: The reference for "minimalist done with material discipline." MUJI composition tags are notably honest — multi-component blends are broken out cleanly, source country is usually disclosed. Makes a great baseline for the Japanese mid-tier in FabricIQ's comparison tools.
