With the hope that life in our Garden City continues to be a compassionate and environmentally conscious one, we’ve collaborated with Underscore in reaching out to 18 local creatives during past “MUJI Living in a Garden City Exhibition” to create a print for the organic cotton series of myBags. Each design is an interpretation of the various aspects of our daily lives, and encourages us to reconsider our approach to working, resting, eating and living in Singapore.
Organic Cotton myBags
Made using organic cotton, these myBags are created with less stress on the environment, and are gentler on those who produce and use them. This echoes the idea of green living – the basis upon which our Garden City was built. While we look towards a sustainable future, we also seek to encourage shoppers in playing their part to save the Earth through the switch from using plastic bags to these reusable myBags.
In this Festive season of sharing and giving,
why not do a part to support Children’s Cancer Foundation while saving the Earth!
The special designed A3 size myBags are on sale at $10 exclusively at MUJI ION till 31 December 2016. 100% nett proceeds from the sale will go to Children’s Cancer Foundation. Every contribution adds up to help improve the quality of life of children with cancer and their families and children impacted by cancer.
