Hemp has long been the foundation of resistant, soft, and durable garments. A versatile material, it is both eco-friendly and protective - and still a central fabric in modern fashion design.
What is hemp?
Hemp is born from the fast-growing plant of the same name. Its strong, flexible fibers, hidden within the stem, are spun into a fabric that is both durable and versatile, refined over centuries.
Resistant and soft - a fabric designed to be lived in.
Hemp is a resilient, wear-resistant fabric - perfect for everything from playing with children to household tasks or forest hikes. At MUJI, we choose hemp for its natural benefits, knowing it is good for you. It offers UV protection, feels gentle on the skin, and only gets softer with every wash.
Breathable and insulated - designed for comfort, in any season.
Hemp is a naturally breathable material, made of cellulose strands that allow air to flow freely. Antimicrobial, light, odour resistant… It stays fresh for long, and its natural properties make it easy to wear and easy to wash. Light and cooling in the summer, warm and insulating in the winter, hemp adapts to you - and never the other way around.
Natural and renewable - an ally to a better, renewable fashion.
Grown with almost no pesticide and very little water, and derived from a fast-growing, easily renewable plant, hemp is the perfect alternative to synthetic fibers and leads the way towards a more sustainable wardrobe. More than a low impact crop, hemp’s cultivation enriches the soil in which it grows.
