How kapok defines the season’s wardrobe
MUJI Philippines has rolled out a new kapok-based clothing collection for the 2026 spring-summer season, expanding its use of natural fibers in everyday apparel.
Kapok is a plant fiber taken from the seed pods of a tree native to Southeast Asia. It grows with minimal water and fertilizer and requires little to no pesticides. Traditionally used as stuffing for cushions and garments, kapok is lightweight and naturally airy, with hollow fibers that allow breathability.
The new MUJI collection features 13 styles for men and women. Nine styles are available now in MUJI Philippines stores, excluding pop-up locations, and online at mujiph.com. Four additional styles will be released at a later date.
Items include shirts, coveralls, and double-gauze blouses in colors such as dark navy, medium gray, natural, off-white, light yellow, light blue, black, and khaki, along with striped options. The pieces are designed for layering and daily wear, suited to warm-weather conditions.
According to the brand, kapok fabric is breathable, lightweight, and hypoallergenic, with moisture-absorbing and heat-retaining properties intended for comfort in tropical climates.
The collection is available at MUJI branches in Estancia Mall, GH Mall, Festival Mall, Glorietta 3, SM North EDSA, SM Mall of Asia, Uptown Mall, Shangri-La Plaza, Greenbelt 3, Power Plant Mall, and Central Square, as well as online.
