Kapok Apparel

We used cotton harvested from the nuts of the kapok tree, a tree that grows naturally in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Kapok is an eco-friendly material cultivated with little fertilizer and water without pesticides. It is said to be the lightest natural fiber in the world, approximately one-eighth the weight of cotton. The fiber is hollow and contains a lot of air, so it is light and warm.

Once unsuitable for yarn, kapok has gained attention as new technologies now enable its use in sustainable spinning, weaving, and apparel production.

Kapok Natural Fiber

Sustainable Fiber

Kapok is derived from the tall deciduous trees native to Indonesia, Thailand, and India, where it thrives with minimal intervention. These trees grow naturally with sunlight and rainwater, requiring little to no pesticides, fertilizers, or excessive watering. On Java Island, Indonesia, MUJI cultivates kapok in near-natural conditions, with trees systematically planted at intervals of about 5 meters.

Gentle On The Planet

Unlike cotton or linen, kapok harvesting does not involve mowing the plant. Instead, the trees continue to grow taller and larger, contributing to the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and converting it into oxygen. The entire tree performs photosynthesis, making kapok forests a powerful ally in reducing CO2 and combating global warming.
