Kayla Curtis, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Manitoba, is launching MediLuxe Scrubs Ltd., a brand offering fashionable and functional scrubs for women healthcare workers. Curtis, 28, aims to create a more stylish and adaptable alternative to traditional scrubs, which are required in operating rooms but lack personal expression.
Her debut collection features two styles in three colors and sizes ranging from extra small to extra large. The scrubs are manufactured in Winnipeg by the social enterprise Cutting Edge, which trains newcomer women to become industrial sewing machine operators. Curtis emphasizes that the scrubs are a premium product, focusing on quality fabric, construction, and design details.
Since announcing the brand three months ago, MediLuxe has garnered significant online attention and interest from around the world. The company plans to introduce more designs, colors, and sizes in the future, with potential expansion to international shipping.
