The brief

Spitex MeGaherz arrived with a specific reading test. The programme had to read as trustworthy from the first doorbell. Caring and present, without the institutional flatness most home-care uniforms slip into. The wardrobe also had to scale across the team, from registered nurses to homemakers, across day and overnight shifts, through every season. The one visual signature could not drift.

Approach

We worked outward from the mark. The four-petal clover and the wordmark anchor every piece. Embroidered onto green crew shirts and polos. Applied as a sleeve detail on the darker workwear jacket. Woven into the brand patch that runs along the inside of every garment. Materials were chosen for what home-care actually demands. Long shifts that punish a hem. Frequent laundering. Free movement at a bedside. Apparel and packaging were sampled by hand on the bench in Porto, then made in the named partner workshops there.

Outcome
  • Crew shirt · polo · outerwear · lounge · socks
  • Embroidered mark + woven brand patch on every garment
  • Made in Porto · named partner workshops
  • In use across the Spitex MeGaherz team
The wardrobe

A home-care nurse does not put on a single shirt in the morning. She puts on a uniform, a transition layer for the walk between visits, a lounge piece for overnight care, a pair of socks. We design and make the whole wardrobe. One brand, one contract, one set of named workshops in Porto.

"A home-care visitor wears the brand into the patient’s living room. The wardrobe has to carry the trust."
