Introducing
"The Story of Linen."
リネンの物語。
From 10,000 years ago, and from today on, linen leads us through life…
While MUJI is concerned with designing and creating beautiful linen clothing and homewares, we also appreciate the long and fascinating history of this fabric, hence highlighting its natural state.
Knowing that people many centuries ago wore linen clothes, slept on linen bedding, and used linen tablecloths is somehow reassuring. It creates a sense of continuity in all of us.
Most MUJI linen products, clothing as well as household goods, have been manufactured with 100% pure linen. One can feel the pureness of linen against their skin. Our linen clothes are perfect for everyone.

Living with Linen
Linen and hemp are among the strongest fibers found in nature. As these fabrics become softer and deeper in texture the more you use and wash them, the passage of time will bring about greater attachment instead of a deterioration in quality. Here are some useful tips for keeping your precious clothes in top condition for a long time.
Washing
Linen and hemp are materials that become stronger when moist, allowing them to be conveniently and repeatedly washed in a washing machine. However, make sure to avoid bleach and fluorescent agents as they may damage the fibers or compromise the color of the fabric.
Drying
Drying your clothes while they are pulled taut and with their wrinkles stretched out will make them easier to iron subsequently. Of course, the firmness of the fabric ensures that you can enjoy its natural texture even without any ironing. Linen and hemp fibers have hollow cores that absorb and expel moisture, so hanging them in a well-ventilated place allows them to dry in no time.
Ironing
When ironing, start from the reverse side to remove any small wrinkles before ironing the front with greater force. Iron over a cloth if you are worried about damaging the fabric or leaving shiny stripes behind.
Storing
Linen is best stored in cool and dry places to prevent mold growth. Steer clear of plastic and wrap them in thin paper to allow air circulation and preserve the integrity of the fabric.
