Materials of MUJI
Yak
Sourced from China-Tibetan Plateau (Qingzang-Plateau)
Yak wool is warmer than Merino wool with a softness comparable to cashmere. We use yak wool grown at high altitudes, where yaks have an extremely fine undercoat that retains heat & a thick outer layer of hair for protection. We combine both to create a yarn that minimises waste & benefits from the characteristics of each material.
Wool
Sourced from AU, NZ, France & China-Inner Mongolia
Achieving a “pleasant life”. This is MUJI’s manufacturing approach that considers not only the people who use and make our product, but also the environment and wellbeing of animals. MUJI only sources non-mulesed wool from farmers that use gentle breeding methods and recycled wool to reduce strain on our natural resources.
Flannel
A warm & durable soft woven fabric
Flannel is a loosely-knit fabric that may be brushed on one or both sides to create extra softness and warmth through a process called napping. This process finishes the fabric by rubbing it with a fine metal brush to raise fine fibres to create a warm texture.
Feather Down
Sourced from Victoria, Australia
For down, we use only feathers reviewed and certified by a third-party organisation to ensure the five freedoms of animal welfare* in the breeding environment. This certifies that the material does not come from birds that have been subjected to any unnecessary harm such as force-feeding or live-plucking.
