Royal Approved Designer Launches World's First Sustainable Anti-Viral Medical Scrubs

Inbox

Canadian fashion designer, Nina Kharey, of globally renowned womenswear brand NONIE, announced today the pre-launch of new venture – Folds, the world’s first full-circle recyclable, sustainable, anti-viral medical scrubs. Known for her timeless simplistic contemporary designs, as worn by Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, Kharey’s pivot into PPE came as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, designing scrubs for men and women available today for pre-order.

“Launching Folds has been a true passion project of mine,” says Nina Kharey, Founder & CEO of Folds. “At the outset of the pandemic, the stark realities of the quality of clothing our global healthcare heroes wear became abundantly clear, so I wanted to use my engineering background to help develop new technologies to redefine the future of medical wear.”

• The first protective scrubs.  Silver Ion technology, along with the TiO2 added to the polymer, makes them odorless, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial.
• The first eco-friendly scrubs. Folds scrubs can be washed 400+ times, are made from post-consumer plastic, lasting, on average, twice as long as current scrubs, and at the end of their medical use are put through the brand’s recycling system to create new scrubs, keeping millions of yards of fabric out of landfills.
• Designed for comfort and performance. Folds are soft with 4-way stretch, allowing for full range of movement. They are cooling and self-cleaning so they can be worn for the long shifts of health care workers.
• Ethically manufactured. Folds are ethically designed and manufactured in Canada, with living wages along with safe, comfortable working conditions.

Folds is exclusively available for pre-order on www.foldswear.com beginning today. Each purchase includes a limited-edition sustainable tote bag, only available while quantities last.

The brand will officially launch on February 3, 2021 – on National Women’s Physician Day.
