Grassroots Market Research Created Figs Success!

Trina and her partner Heather spent so much time sitting and talking with medical professionals, asking them questions, seeing if they wanted something like what they were offering.  They sold their scrubs out of their cars…anything they could do to prove that people would actually pay for their product!

Giving Back & Playing For a Larger Purpose

Part of the Figs mission is to majorly impact the cleanliness of hospitals. Because of this, for every ONE pair of Figs scrubs someone orders, they DONATE one pair to someone who can’t afford clean scrubs, often someone who has been performing surgeries and procedures in their jeans and dirty shirt.  Figs organizes medical trips to places all around the world to go help!
