Classico medical apparel collaborations

Overview

Medical apparel brand Classico is expanding its product offerings through artistic and character-themed collaborations. In late September 2026, the company announced a partnership with Kamide Choemon Kiln, a Kutani ware pottery manufacturer from Ishikawa Prefecture. This collection features scrubs designed to mimic traditional ceramic ink gradations and brushstrokes, incorporating motifs like violets and historical patterns.

Following this, Classico scheduled the launch of a ‘Chiikawa’ themed collection for October 1, 2026, as part of its ‘Scrub Canvas Club’ line. This collection utilizes a design strategy that balances professional requirements with fan appeal by using subdued colors and subtle embroidery on the front of the garments, while featuring colorful prints of iconic manga scenes on the back. The line includes four color options—purple gray, deep navy, greige, and charcoal—and features various characters including Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Momonga, and Kurimanju.
