Stylish and eco-conscious ppe made on a farm

Scrubs in Style is a brand new company created during lockdown by two sisters with very different careers: Diane is a dental hygienist and Kate is a bespoke dressmaker. Inspiration behind

their work came from discovering that PPE initially was difficult to get hold of during the pandemic, uncomfortable to wear, looked awful, created mountains of plastic waste and was

expensive to sustain. Scrubs in Style make all the PPE themselves from their workshop on a farm in Oxfordshire. Diane and Kate have combined their skills to produce the best quality

washable/sterilisable gowns and aprons. Their emphasis is on helping to reduce plastic waste and injecting style and comfort into the PPE with ultimate protection. Scrubs in Style's

gowns are made from UK and specialist German sourced material. The fabric is colour fast, shrink resistant and does not bleed; it's also cool and comfortable to wear. With 20 colours to

choose from there is something for everyone. PPE aprons are made from the same material in white. PPE can be wiped down with a disinfectant or washed at temperatures up to 90 degrees and

sterilised. For more information email [email protected]. If you would like to see samples of the range so far, Diane and Kate would be happy to arrange a visit/Zoom. RIGHTS AND
