Vibrant Collaboration: HERALBONY × Classico
On August 27, 2026, a new collaboration product will be launched by Classico Co., Ltd., a company specialized in medical apparel based in Minato Ward, Tokyo. This innovative partnership with HERALBONY, a creative company that promotes art from artists with disabilities based in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, focuses on infusing vibrant art into medical wear.
Concept
The guiding philosophy behind this collaboration is to "bring color to the medical field," combining Classico's functional beauty with HERALBONY's unique artistic flair. Rather than merely placing art on clothing, these creations are designed to harmoniously blend the apparel with the artwork, ensuring that the visual impact is striking yet subtle when worn.
The collaboration features 13 items in total, including lab coats, scrubs, and accessories, each designed with meticulous attention to aesthetics and usability.
