About Us

LAGO is created by a mother-son team, Rosemary and Michael. Both came with deep knowledge of the apparel industry after years working in the activewear and dance business. During the pandemic, the duo utilized their industry contacts to help connect hospitals and clinics across the US with PPE at no personal gain.

After working together to help provide PPE to frontline workers, we recognized a lack of stylish scrubs made from sustainable materials that offer comfort and performance. Rosemary and Michael decided to create a medical apparel brand that supports frontline workers and serves our larger mission of creating a more inclusive and sustainable world.

Sustainability

Small changes can make a big difference. We don't claim to be the most sustainable company and understand that there is still much more to do. Our committment to sustainability inspires our work and future, but is an ongoing learning process.

As a new brand, we invite you on this journey to grow, learn and build with us.

Plastic Bottles to Scrubs

Each recycled scrub set saves 14 plastic bottles from the landfill. We source our recycled fiber from REPREVE®, which is also used by Nike and Patagonia.

The process starts with used bottles that are shredded into small flakes. These flakes are then cut into pellets, which are melted and extruded into yarn. The yarns are spun into thread and thread is woven into fabric. Fabric is then cut and sewn to create scrubs.

At last, water bottles can have a 2nd life as super soft scrubs.

Responsible Manufacturing

We have partnered with a small family-owned apparel manufacturer that also produces for some of the world's largest brands such as adidas and ASICS®. We picked them because they are committed to ensuring that our scrubs are made in fair and safe conditions. Furthermore, they share a common vision of sustainability and transparency.

Our manufacturer also partners with BetterWork, a joint UN International Labour Organization and World Bank International Finance Corporation partnership, on factory transparency and labor improvements.

We celebrate our makers and help our customers understand more about how their scrubs are made to showcase craftsmanship and promote the value in the choice we make and the things we wear.
