Muji
Muji is a Japanese retail company that offers a wide range of household and consumer goods, including clothing, furniture, stationery, and food. The company first entered the UK market in 1991 and has since established a strong presence, with multiple stores located throughout the country.
Unlike many other companies on this list, a lot of the merchandise isn’t manufactured in Japan (although there is a good number); however, the products that are available and the shop layout feel very Japanese with their focus on a minimalist style.
Muji was built on the philosophy of ‘non-branded quality goods’, which means that not a single item in the store has a logo or brand name stamped into it. This is alongside its conscious decision to streamline its packaging to deliver on their ethos of simplicity.
In addition to its product lineup, Muji has also launched several initiatives in the UK that reflect its commitment to sustainability. This includes the Muji Recycle initiative, which encourages customers to bring in old Muji products to be recycled or donated to charity, as well as the Muji Labo line, which features clothing made from recycled materials.
Overall, Muji has established itself as a popular and reliable retailer of household and consumer goods in the UK, offering quality products at affordable prices.
