A noble material for sustainable clothing, linen is the perfect balance between style and nature, elegance and simplicity. With a history spanning centuries, it is soft on the skin, lightweight, and suitable for any occasion.
What is linen?
Linen, derived from the flax plant with its distinctive blue flowers, is one of MUJI’s signature materials, rooted in Japanese design. Spun from the fibers of this fast-growing plant, it is an eco-friendly fabric that ages beautifully over time.
Premium material for everyday wear
Linen is versatile, perfect for both dressed-up and casual looks. It is a noble material that has defined MUJI’s most iconic garments for decades, and continues to do so: elegant shirts on festive occasions, casual dresses that flow in a summer breeze, or lightweight pants, ideal for dinner with friends or a quiet moment at home. Incredibly low-maintenance and easy to wash, linen offers the combination of luxury feel and everyday ease.
A unique feel
Lightweight, soft, and airy. Effortless to wear, and gentler on the skin over time. Linen naturally adapts to each person and their unique way of wearing it. Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, it is a fabric you can trust completely.
Natural properties
Linen’s fundamental property is its ability to regulate body temperature with breathable fabric, ideal for warmer weather. The fabric stays dry and comfortable, always cool to the touch. A linen piece is a refreshing feel on hot afternoons - and a small step toward a naturally better wardrobe, one garment at a time.
