The brand collected clothes that customers have worn over the years and turned them into an energy resource (bioethanol), which struck a chord with the Japanese philosophy Mottai-Tai, which means not to let anything go to waste. The program was well-received and it encouraged Muji to offer new and unique initiatives every year since.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/11000016\/ReMUJI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3734\" width=\"580\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/11000012\/img35.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3733\" width=\"580\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the latest capsule collection this past fall, Muji launched a program called ReMUJI Indigo. The goal was to turn old, unsold and imperfect clothing into new ones instead of it going to waste. First, they collected customers\u2019 used clothes (excluding underwear, towels and bedsheets) together with unsold Muji garments and those that were slightly flawed during the&nbsp;manufacturing process. The garments were then sorted and pre-washed to remove dirt and make it easier to dye. The indigo dye was individually adjusted for each batch according to the type of garments and coloring. This was done gradually several times to make sure the color was even and to prevent discoloration. The final step was to gently press the garment and inspect it one more time before it became a one-of-a-kind ReMUJI product. The wisdom of re-dye clothing in Japan is to enhance, prolong and breathe new life to clothes people have inherited and treasured. This unique collection of ReMUJI Indigo is true recycling chic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ReMUJI products are now sold at selected Muji stores across Japan, including their new Tokyo\u2019s flagship in Ginza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/MUJI.NET\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MUJI.NET (opens in a new tab)\">MUJI.NET<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3732,"template":"","filed_under":[],"class_list":["post-3731","journal","type-journal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Indigo Reborn | Chanintr Living Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ReMUJI by Muji began in 2010 as a green initiative to give pre-loved clothes a new life.
