stealing style: muji.

one of my favorite bits about london, is shopping at muji, and i tend to stuff my suitcase before leaving. i so wish there was a muji in san francisco, but i’m not too worried, because i can always find muji products available online, too.

6m

muji carries a extremely affordable and wide variety of products with very simple, clean aesthetics, and aspires to modesty and plainness, the better to adapt and shape itself to the styles that appeal to as many people as possible. think ikea, with a japanese flair. here’s a glimpe at some of my favorites from muji.

2m

gingham checked slippers ($13.95), cotton re-useable tote bag ($26.50), craft sketchbook ($4.25), and beechwood wall clock ($48.75).

1m

clear stickies for marking your favorite spots ($3.50), reused yard scarf ($19.95), 36 colored pencils in kraft tube ($11.25), and really cute good fit red sneakers ($26.50).

4m

beech jewelry tree, ($16.75), tin box with lid ($20.95), pinewood folding table ($82.50), and aluminum business card case ($5.50).

3m

square mahogany wood tray ($11.50), wool jersey bag ($19.25), cozy wool checked blanket ($24.98), and city in a bag, paris ($14.00).

    I used to live round the corner from Muji in Soho, it was a constant temptation!
    There is one in New York now, isn’t there?

    I love Muji! We have two stores here in New York. I love all their desk and storage accessories.

    Those shoes are way too cute & I’m really sad that they don’t come in my size.

    I love muji! I only write with their pens, it’s a terrible obsession. I just went there in NYC last weekend and then I found something to order after I got home.

    Love Muji as well – from the time i went to their store on Oxford st London in 1998 – love to see what different stuff they carry around the world! The stores in Asia (especially Hong Kong that I’ve been to) have a great selection of clothes!

    I wrote about my favorite Muji travel products on my blog: http://beingtazim.blogspot.com/2010/03/being-traveller-muji-love.html

    I love this store. I just blogged about it a couple of weeks ago.

    I went to the NY store and just went snap happy.

    So many fun things. Love that canvas tote you posted.

    In Japan, they have muji glasses now — very simple and stylish glasses for under $100 with prescription glasses, eye exam and everything. I got a pair when I went back last time and I love it so much!!! :)

    I have the NYC in a bag. I need to add the Paris one to my mantel. I LOVE the clean lines. Thank you for sharing!

    i just encountered muji for the first time this past saturday in the jetblue terminal at JFK. i walked out with new york and tokyo map handkerchiefs, and a few small plastic things. i looked around in awe and wanted to take everything home with me. so fun.

    Thanks for posting about Muji Victoria. I love Muji, I have a set of their towels and bed linen, it is the most comfortable stuff. Have just moved back to Australia after living in London and wished we had Muji here! :)

    I love those ‘city in a bag’ sets – I have a London one that my little brother customised with his paint set!

    I adore Muji! If you can plan a trip to Hong Kong, they have a section for food too!
