10 fun facts about bip
-
1. The name bip was born from a sound
The famous beep of the pager defined generations of healthcare professionals. We turned that sound into a name that represents exactly who we want to dress: the people who live the hospital routine every day.
-
2. We were the first to launch an antiviral and waterproof fabric for medical apparel
When no one was talking about it yet, we were already developing technology to make professionals’ routines even safer and more practical.
-
3. We created Brazil’s first lab coat with a zipper pocket
Because losing a phone, keys, or ID badge during a shift never made sense to us.
-
4. We won 97% of blind tests against the largest U.S. brand in the category
No label shown, no brand story told. Just letting people feel the fabric.
-
5. We are the medical apparel brand with the most positive Google reviews
And honestly, that may be one of the numbers we’re proudest of.
-
6. will.i.am has worn bip
Yes. We had a hard time believing it too. But that’s a story for another day.
-
7. Our office is on the third floor of a building with no elevator
And yes, that means carrying hundreds of boxes of scrubs and lab coats up by hand. Anyone who works here has gotten a solid leg workout.
-
8. One of the most viral videos in our history featured “blue vomit” during Carnival
And it wasn’t even an artistic choice. The vomit turned blue because, if it had looked realistic, Instagram probably would have taken the video down.
-
9. Our first employee is a physician
She came in to buy a lab coat for her boyfriend and ended up leaving medicine to build bip with us.
-
10. We have an internal group called “bip Pearls”
It exists only to save the best lines from our customers. One of the all-time winners is when someone called the brand “Bibi.”
These are just a few behind-the-scenes moments from our story. In two years, more than 10,000 people are already wearing bip in hundreds of cities across Brazil.
