*Shite I Don’t Need

How have I not heard of Muji before a friend took me in here? It’s everything I love: chic products, sleek design, basic colour pallet. It’s like the Japanese version of Ikea, only smaller. But still as glorious.
The first floor is filled with stuff for your life: luggage bags, stationary, art supplies. All basic, all well crafted, all a little pricey but still fantastic. There’s a downstairs that’s filled with stuff for the home: furniture, clothes, organisers. Again, sleek, basic, fantastic.
There are also bits of fun gadgetry, like USB powered fans and uniquely designed alarm clocks
It’s almost calming just to walk through this store, especially when trying to escape the craziness of Oxford Street. Like a little zen paradise that you pay for stuff in. So maybe not zen at all, but still nice.

It’s a pretty Japanese chain store. The design of Muji items is really simple, so you might recognise many recycling items. The prices are averaged. We bought some clothes and touch screen gloves. The gloves are made of special material for fingertips. Hence it makes it practical to use the smartphone in cold weather without taking the gloves off. They also sell some travel items like international electric adaptors. The service was very friendly.

Muji is a utilitarian paradise!
The store contains useful knick-​knacks in a bleek color palette of clear, white, khaki, and black. To be honest, I’m not turned off by this because sometimes you just need organizational basics that aren’t razzle dazzle, glitz & glam, sparkly/​shiny.
The downstairs space is neatly divided into sections that include:
— art supplies (the only place you’ll find color)
— candles, incense, and scented oils
— paper storage
— media storage
— desk organizers
— travel and regular sized toiletries
Upstairs you’ll find kitchenware, larger organizational bins, and clothing.
As someone who lives by the creed «a place for everything and everything in it’s place», I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to the store. I live in a very small studio that lacks adequate storage space. I purchased two large cotton linen storage bins (Box H) that slide perfectly into the tight nooks and crannies of my flat. In those two bins I fit about 20 tops, 15 sweaters, 10 pairs of trousers/​jeans, 3 skirts, 3 sweat shirts, 2 pairs of sweat pants, and all of my wool socks… with space to spare! In short, everything finally has a place.
I gave Muji only 4 stars because, like other reviewers, I believe that some items are overpriced. I bought an acrylic desk organizer with adjustable sections, but I returned it because anything made of acrylic isn’t worth what they charge. I also purchased some small (about 1 oz) travel size acrylic containers that you can fill with liquids. Once again I recognized that they’re overpriced, but they’re so useful that I just had to keep them.

17 years ago I bought a top from Muji in Glasgow and still have it — great quality and style decent prices. Interesting if limited selection of clothes and housewares.

I like this shop a lot, but the staff in here, like most underpaid retail employees barely had a pulse, much less chat. Does ANYONE understand add-​on selling, customer serive with a smile or awareness anymore? Mary Portas would have been horrified. I was willing to spend a lot more than I did.

This is the kind of shop I love to go to but I rarely buy something either because I don’t really need anything from it or because it’s too pricey. But nevertheless I still drop by when I’m in Oxford street !
The japanese shop that has spread around Europe in now many capitals and towns has a two floors shop in Oxford street between Tottenham court Road et Oxford Circus.
I love the small items and all the offices stationneries: small pencils, booknote… I’m not so kind of the clothes too strict and not enough color.
One of the recognition aspect of the brand is its unique sober style and use of natural and classic color: black, grey, white, beige…;
If you don’t have one shop in your town or don’t know it, I would definitely recommand to take a look.

I’m falling out of love with Muji, and this is the branch I’ve most commonly used, so I’m afraid it’s taking the flak…
The quality of the goods here is mostly superior to, say, IKEA, but the prices are hiked unreasonably, and for what is mostly utility furniture and storage items, I cannot really see the appeal of paying vastly more. I’m more likely to buy from their stationery section, but am not often in the market for vast quantities of notebooks and pens, so visits are becoming infrequent.
I have bought the odd item in Muji and been very happy with it — their bed linen is pretty good, but again, expensive for what it is and generally not very exciting. Perhaps when minimalism comes back into fashion it will have a more appreciative audience once again but at the moment I am genuinely curious as to who shops there.

Muji different en terme d’agencement et de presentation de ceux de paris mais garde le style de la sobriete et epure, le personnel a paris porte des tabliers bleus et tandis que celui de londres avec les vetements vendus par le groupe. Sinon les produits sont les meme que ce que l’on trouve a paris. Les prix differes par rapport au taux de change uniquement.

Muji, le design japonais dans toute son épure, à des prix raisonnables, en général j’adore.
Là, petit espace en RdC, plus grand en sous-​sol, les mêmes articles qu’ailleurs.
Mais pour la première fois dans une boutique Muji, un personnel très désagréable !!! Clients au mieux transparents, au pire agressés et méprisés, clairement source d’ennuis plutôt que personnes à servir. Odieux.
In fine, j’ai fini par abandonner mes articles sur le comptoir à la caisse et suis parti sans rien acheter…

Years ago I purchased a carry on luggage bag from this Muji store. I am still using it today!
MUJI is one of my favorite Japanese chain stores. It gives me a reason to shop even though their items are a bit pricey at times.
I love their office supplies and travel items. Quality pens, stationary, and mini snacks!
Exceptional customer service (Tokyo-​Japanese quality) and state of the art items. You feel rather techy and 1 step ahead when you are shopping here.
If you are buying clothes, I suggest 1 size up because Japanese sizing does run small even if you are buying in the UK.
Beautiful store, loved the ambiance! simplicity at its best!

This was one of my most favorite stores to venture into when I lived in the area. The idea of «no brand» branding is brilliant! Being a sucker for stationary supplies I love that area the most, but the whole store really is great. I crave to have a Muji in San Francisco!

I love Muji, but lately I find myself heading in to this branch full of enthusiasm and leaving moments later after I realise I don’t need yet another notebook! I’m going to have to start buying all my birthday and Christmas presents from them to satisfy my urge to support their minimalist aesthetic and get my hands on their awesome stationery.
Their scented candles are wonderful — they actually smell strongly of what they’re supposed to unlike others — and there are some great fun items like the city skylines in bags. I made a New York living ex-​Londoner very happy one summer when I took her a Muji Londonneither of us had realised she could have bought it for herself in Manhattan! I also love their affordable travel bags, toiletry holders and whatnot. All great stuff.

It may seem silly to do all your travel shopping in Muji *before* going to Japan, but I’m glad I did. They have everything an OCD travel nut like myself would want. Tiny containers for every possible product, paper soap, mini-​sewing kit, glue sticks (for scrap-​booking on on the road), eye masks, ear plugs, slippers, and on and on and on.
My favorite, though, are the fabric cubes they have. These make packing a delight. I have one for tops, one for skirts, dresses leggings., one for socks n’ undies, etc. Now instead of unpacking everything, I just take out my little cubes, much to the amazement of my hostel-​mates.
I’m not going to lie, I topped up on more Muji stuff once I arrived in the Japan, but my Oxford St schwag has held up well so far.

I really like the asthetic of this store and use it all the time to buy stationary and small gifts. My only complaint is around the Men’s clothing. I find none of it is big enough for some one taller than 6 feet.

Love is a strong word, but really I do love this store.
Muji is marketed to the minimalist. If you want to get organized and create a simple look for your room than this is the place for you!
You can find variety of storage containers, notebooks, stationary, and other functional items for you bedroom, bathroom, etc.
The Japanese are always one step ahead!

Clean, modern designs for everyday life. It’s also not so über modern that it’s cold. There’s that slightly Japanese flair to some of the items that softens it.
I love their stationery items first and foremost. I can’t help it. Ever since grade school I’ve had a thing for pencils, pens and the many ways you can organize or store them away.
Besides being useful, it’s also aspirational. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the funds to redo your flat with much of their furniture? Oh yes, it would be.

I like Muji for it’s simplicity. The clothing is usually well made, usually natural fibres and fits well.
I really like their stationery lines, storage boxes, filing systems etc., as they are neutral colours and fit in any home. Prices are also reasonable.
Lots of little bits and bobs which make great stocking filler pressies too. I also fell in love with their fig scented candles.

With its nifty perspex storage solutions and minimalist garb, its clean, simple, recognizably Japanese aesthetic and its environmentally sound philosophy, I wholeheartedly love Muji.
A Japanese store whose migration to the UK has seen the high street blessed with high quality goods made by a company which prioritises the use of sustainable materials; Muji is the place to unearth high quality low price treasures at that rare thing: a high street store with a conscience.
My best buys from Muji include their unobtrusive perspex jewellery boxes and picture frames, their synthetic makeup brushes — perfect for the vegan beauty addict — and their cheap as chips candles which burn for 18 hours and are barely distinguishable from Diptyque’s candles which instead sell at around £40 a pop.
Try the Fig candle for a subtle, sophisticated scent and check out Muji’s Christmas offerings for some of the most downright witty gifts out there.

Muji is an OCD’s dream store! Although I do not obsess over organization, I do love to browse the store in search of storage containers for my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. You can find everything here from notebooks to clothing.
The store is centered around travel, structure and minimization. They even have a range of travel products, such as shampoo and conditioner holding containers along with genius cosmetic bags and electric converters. My advice is to go to Muji when you have a little bit of free time, because you’ll want to stay for at least a half an hour!

I really like this branch of the Muji chain. Im usually quite daunted when i walk into a muji store because i find it hard to find what im looking for — everything is so white and the labels on things aren’t very obvious. But this store is small emough that it’s not too hard to find what you need, plus the staff are really sweet and helpful.

Another one of my discoveries on oxford circus its quite close to the actual station, near mangos and other stores. they have the most original little gift ideas and the cutest stationary. a long with some homeware and clothes downstairs, though i found the clothes too dull. overall i was impressed with the shop, especially recommending the small stationary for neices or even children! but hey i bought them for myself so they are for anyones use! really cute teddys and other gift ideas like a little piece which was little red riding hoods house.
very nice shop and really recommended

Une chaîné de magasin moderne
On trouve de tout, c’est très cher mais souvent très design. Ca va du thé glacé «oolong» aux futons.

Des japonaiseries
Muji ca veut dire sans marque en japonais. Nous on s’en fiche car comme on né lit pas le japonais et qu’on né connais pas leurs marques ca nous est bien égal ! Ici, on trouve un peu de tout dans un style très épuré: de la papeterie, des accessoires de cuisine, de salle de bain, des vetements, des sacs. Moi j’ai découvert Muji à Londres mais il faut savoir que désormais il y a aussi beaucoup de boutiques en France. En tout cas je conseille cette boutique: c’est original, pas hors de prix et on peut trouver des petites choses sympas. Moi par exemple, j’y ai acheté plein de choses pour le voyage: des etuis à chaussures, et à linge, des petites fioles à cosmétiques, il y en a pour tous les prix ! Les agendas à confectionner soi meme sont aussi super !

Est-​ce que ça vaut vraiment le détour
Muji se trouve sur le parcours de l’amateur de shopping qui se lance sur la fameuse Oxford Street. Personnellement, je n’ai jamais rien acheté, mais on peut trouver des objets sympas à un prix abordable.

A voir
Je né passé jamais devant un Muji sans lui rendre une petite visite. C’est une chaîné que l’on retrouve dans toutes les capitales mais les produits varient selon les pays.

Boutique géniale.
J’ai découvert Muji à Londres cet été et j’ai eu le coup de foudre pour ces boutiques: Tous les produits presentés sont magnifiques et originaux, du moindre objet pour la maison, aux habits en passant par les accessoires de mode, on a envie de tout acheter. La livre Sterling étant assez haute par rapport au franc, et un vendeur m’ayant annoncé l’ouverture d’un Muji dans la region parisienne, j’ai préferé attendre et tout acheter moins cher en France…
