About the Client

BShirt is a UK-based maternity and nursing wear brand founded in 2016 with a clear, focused purpose: to empower mothers to breastfeed comfortably and confidently.

Built by mothers, for mothers, BShirt is best known for its patented "Lift the Flap" design, an innovative nursing solution that allows discreet, clip-free, and zip-free feeding. Since launch, the brand has supported over 50,000 mothers worldwide.

Today, BShirt stands as a B Corp–certified brand committed to ethical production, slow fashion principles, and the use of GOTS-certified organic cotton. Its mission extends beyond clothing. It exists to support mothers through bump, breastfeeding, and beyond.

The Challenge
A brand whose identity had not caught up with its impact

BShirt had built something meaningful: a patented product, a loyal customer base, and a genuine commitment to ethical and sustainable fashion. Yet its visual and verbal identity did not fully communicate the strength of that foundation.

The opportunity was clear: build an identity that reflects both the innovation of the product and the depth of the mission.

Through stakeholder discussions and brand evaluation, four key gaps surfaced:
01
Limited distinctiveness
The brand felt warm and friendly but lacked a recognizable visual system that differentiated it within a crowded maternity wear category.
02
Under-expressed values
Sustainability, ethical production, and B Corp certification were core strengths. However, they were not clearly reflected in the identity.
03
Lack of system thinking
There was no cohesive framework connecting logo, layout, typography, and imagery across digital, retail, and social channels.
04
Emotional disconnect
Customers described feeling empowered and confident, yet the brand language leaned heavily on product function rather than emotional experience.
The Inspiration
BShirt was never just a functional maternity brand. While competitors led with product features, its true strength lay in confidence.

The brand was helping mothers feel supported, empowered, and seen during one of life's most transformative stages.

The strategic opportunity was clear: position BShirt at the intersection of comfort, empowerment, and conscious fashion.

BShirt — We care if you can confirm to care
Our Approach
We began with discovery and strategic alignment.

Through collaborative workshops and category analysis, we identified a clear gap. Most maternity and nursing brands prioritized function before emotion. BShirt could lead differently.

The brand narrative was refined to reflect three lived behaviors:

Empowering mothers to feed with confidence
Designing with intention, where practicality and style coexist
Operating as a conscious fashion brand committed to people and planet
Motherhood
BShirt wordmark on fabric

The name BShirt was retained to preserve equity, while the lowercase wordmark reinforced warmth and accessibility. The brand line, "Bump, Breastfeeding, and Beyond," expanded the conversation beyond a single stage of motherhood.

This repositioned BShirt from a functional nursing label to a purpose-led maternity brand.

Visual Language
The new visual identity translates this philosophy into a system.
BShirt brand guideline

At its center is the parenthesis-inspired "B," symbolizing a held moment within the noise of early motherhood. The enclosed form creates a distinctive signature while conveying support and openness.

The curvature extends into a flexible glyph system that frames imagery, highlights details, and adapts across retail and digital environments without losing cohesion.

The color palette balances softness with modern confidence, avoiding predictable pastels while maintaining warmth. Clean, contemporary typography ensures clarity across retail, packaging, and digital communication.

Photography prioritizes natural light and candid moments, celebrating real motherhood rather than staged perfection. A structured three-shot approach reinforces both emotion and innovation.

The result is a unified system that scales across e-commerce, social, packaging, and campaigns while remaining rooted in authenticity.
