           Recently, Muji cooperates with 
           Muji looks mainly providing personal consumption. Because of trying to establish the brand image as a lifestyle and make more and more people notice it, MUJI spreads out overseas. Sometimes, Muji tries to do some activities and collaborate with other company to advocate the brand philosophy and new products. On Muji's global website, if you have iPhone of iPad, then you can purchase the Muji apps.

Simplicity is the Key
Why I love MUJI…
I love Muji because it stands for simplicity, practicality and design.
Muji items looks at the staples of design and their basics hardly ever changes.
Did you know they have well known fashion designers working on their clothes?
MUJI= NO BRAND QUALITY GOODS.
2007 A/W was Yohji Yamamoto.
I remember a man coming into the store in Oxford Street and buying up 8 winter coats, saying he was going to sell them on at a higher price. He said if they were selling in Liberty they would be selling at 4 times the price…probably true.
It’s funny though, because MUJIs fashion doesn’t sell very well in the UK. But because of what the company name stands for, they were not allowed to publicise their designers.
