Kapok is a light natural fibre with a smooth soft texture.
It is responsibly sourced and uses less water to produce than cotton, without the use of pesticides.
Kapok production has a low environmental impact, requiring no toxic or chemical derivatives and using far less water than cotton. Now, at a time when reducing the burden on earth's natural resources has never been so important, MUJI is putting the focus back on Kapok, developing a core range of products that combine style with function.
A sustainable, natural plant fibre.
Kapok fibres are harvested from the seed pods of the Kapok tree, found mainly in Indonesia, India, Thailand, and the islands of the Philippines.
Soft to wear, soft on the planet.
Thanks to its hollow structure, Kapok is a very lightweight natural fibre - just an eighth the weight of cotton - with excellent moisture absorbing and heat retaining properties, as well as softness and elasticity.
