Classico to launch Chiikawa-themed medical scrubs

Medical apparel brand Classico will launch a special collection of medical scrubs featuring the popular manga character ‘Chiikawa’ starting October 1. The collection is part of the company’s ‘Scrub Canvas Club’ line, which aims to bring enjoyment to healthcare professionals by incorporating various characters and artistic themes into their uniforms.

The design strategy balances professional settings with fan appeal. The front of the scrubs uses subdued colors and subtle line-art embroidery to ensure the garments remain appropriate for patient interaction. In contrast, the back of the scrubs features colorful prints of iconic scenes, such as the ‘Weeding Test’ episode, providing a private sense of enjoyment for the wearer.

The collection includes four color options—purple gray, deep navy, greige, and charcoal—featuring characters such as Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Momonga, and Kurimanju. Each design offers different motifs, ranging from character-specific icons to group illustrations. The tops and pants are priced at 13,090 yen each (including tax) and will be available through Classico’s online store, physical locations, Rakuten, and Amazon.
