Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. has announced the release of three cloth face masks—made from recycled organic cotton obtained from leftover materials during the manufacturing of autumn and winter apparel—which will be released at Muji stores across Japan from mid-October this year.
Face masks have become an essential part of peoples’ daily lives across the globe, with many people now opting for reusable cloth masks over disposable ones due to their reusability by simply washing them, feeling soft on the face, and reducing waste.
Muji too is on board this more environmentally-friendly approach and released reusable three-layered face masks back online in May.
Face Mask (Fleece) – ¥999 (Tax Included)
Face Mask (Flannel) – ¥999 (Tax Included) / Face Mask (Corduroy) | ¥999 (Tax Included)
Muji’s new masks will release in fleece, flannel, and corduroy designs.
All the masks are made from organic cotton leftover from Ryohin Keikaku manufacturing their hoodies, shirts, trousers, and other clothing items for the autumn/winter season.
