We've all heard the news about MUJI's largest store opening right here in Singapore! Their clean and minimalistic aesthetics make them appealing and emanate Japanese interior design principles. "No-brand, Quality Goods", aka MUJI, has definitely lived up to its name.
We head down to MUJI to see what's available at this huge store!
Men, Women, and Children Clothing
Right when you walk in, you'll be greeted with a ton of clothing options for Men, Women and Children which is a little further in the back. Ranging from everyday clothes to inner wear, you'll be spoiled for choice in deciding what to grab from the plethora of clothing options there. You can also find branded MUJI styles such as Labo here too!
Check out some of the styled mannequins to get a snippet of what's to offer as well as garner inspiration for your next #OOTD.
Bicycle Section
This huge MUJI store sells bicycles too! Called the Mini Velo (made in Singapore!), you can try it out and learn more about the light foldable bike right here at MUJI!
If you're interested in getting it, you can fill in a form that they have at this section and submit it to the counter together with your payment. There is a 5-year warranty for the bike so you need not fret about it!
Travel Bags and Accessories
If you want something minimalistic but sturdy and reliable, you can browse through MUJI's selection of luggage. They're categorised by size hence, you can easily find the luggage to suit your needs.
Fun fact, they even have anti-roll wheels where you can lock them in place to prevent them from rolling away from you, or down a steep hill for example. There are also fanny packs and waterproof bags suitable for all your travelling needs.
MUJI Renovation
Hidden right at the back of the store, there is a rather sizeable showroom showcasing all of MUJI's products implemented into a HDB flat!
Take off your shoes and wear the provided slippers as you walk through this apartment and see MUJI's minimalistic style come to life! There are staff on-hand if you're interested in knowing more about the different furniture available!
If you're feeling thirsty, or in need of a pick-me-up, there is a free water bottle refill station nearby and a coffee machine where you can pay with your card to grab some nice freshly-brewed coffee.
