Every time I find myself in Toronto, there’s an irresistible force that draws me in, a magnetic pull I simply can’t resist. And no, it’s not the big city bright lights or its famous landmarks. It’s something far simpler yet equally captivating: MUJI.
Even though I already have a collection of pens in my room that’s starting to look like another MUJI branch, I find myself irresistibly drawn to MUJI’s clean and inviting aisles, brimming with minimalist design and high-quality products.
