I was looking…read moreat their wares, I was approached by a man who works there and was asked if I had any questions. And I said "how much is a scarf, I looked at the ones on the other side of the floor and didn't see a tag." TBH, there was a tag, but no price on that tag. He reported with "there's a tag on every scarf." This is not a way to talk to a potential customer. I usually say "never say 'never'", but I will NEVER shop here. And also, if somebody's has less than five stars, the score is actually lower than shown because people give one star actually want to give new stars. I'm one of them.

This is a pretty store in the heart of Harvard Square with a lovely collection of mostly…read morecontemporary one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. I spied some really eye-catching pieces that would add immeasurably to the knock-out factor when dressing up. These are quality pieces with price tags to match. The day we visited was a busy one but the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating giving us plenty of time to try on a variety of jewelry items from the display cases. No hard sell, no impatience, just good, attentive service. My cousin ended up with a beautiful long silver necklace interspersed with slices of quartz throughout. I fell in love with some dramatic earrings (shown in one of the photos) but when I tried them on they felt too heavy for my ear lobes (one lobe ripped once from years of heavy earrings and had to be repaired by a plastic surgeon so I'm not going down that road again) so with a heavy heart I put those beauties back on the shelf. There is plenty to look at on two floors of space here. There are lots of things to examine and explore on shelves, counters, and behind glass cases all beautifully presented. You can also find a few other things besides jewelry like hand-made silk scarves and metal serving pieces. I thought some of the serving pieces would make an excellent hostess gift when traveling to stay with friends for example. Great place to browse and to find something for yourself or a very special someone else in your life.

We came here because my niece loves the store…read more.... It was my first time in the store, so I was intrigued. The store advertises itself as a place with no high end brands. MUJI's name in Japanese, translates as "no-brand quality goods." The brand mark and the brand name, which are well-recognized by designers, convey a certain image to people beyond factors such as the functionality, quality or value of the product itself. Mujirushi Ryohin was created in Japan in 1980 with the development of 40 products in the areas of apparel, household goods and food--which, as the name indicates, had no brand but were good-quality products. I thought the prices were not bad and the quality was good. My niece bought some writing instruments, which she loves.

After a day of walking around, I knew I had to find a scarf or some type of net gator. We stopped in multiple shops along Newberry Street with no luck. I had not been in MUJI before and was so impressed with the layout, the organization, and the selection. We found the much needed net gator, which was priced fairly and so warm! While the store was crowded, the flow worked well and they had a number of people running the cash register so the line went really quick. Would definitely go back and visit again.
