FIGS

Figs, Inc.

FIGS makes high-performance medical scrubs and workwear for healthcare professionals, selling directly to nurses, doctors, and other clinicians through its own website rather than traditional stores. Its signature fabric is stretchy, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle-resistant, built for long shifts. The company was founded in 2013 by Heather Hasson, who got the idea after seeing a nurse friend struggle through 16-hour shifts in boxy, uncomfortable uniforms, and her business partner Trina Spear. A fun quirk: the name FIGS isn't an acronym — Hasson chose it simply because figs are her favorite fruit.
