Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse's Uniform Case Study
With over a century of tradition, Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses is one of Australia’s most enduring family bakeries. In late 2021, seeking to add a modern twist to their brand without losing the essence of their heritage, Ferguson Plarre needed uniforms that blended classic appeal with contemporary style, all while ensuring their team’s comfort.
Our challenge was to craft a uniform solution as unique and cherished as Ferguson Plarre’s famed goodies—because when it comes to style and comfort, we don’t settle for half-baked solutions.

Ferguson Plarre's Signature Apron
At the heart of Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse’s fresh new look was the Signature Apron—a bespoke piece that effortlessly blended the bakery’s time-honoured commitment to quality with a splash of modern style.
A staple across all Ferguson Plarre locations, this apron was crafted from premium fabric and materials, and treated with a special coating to keep dirt and stains at bay. Naturally, it wouldn’t be complete without those iconic red straps, adding that unmistakable Ferguson Plarre flair.
To ensure it could handle the daily grind of fast-paced bakery life, we had Ferguson Plarre’s team put the apron through some serious wear testing, proving it was more than ready for anything their team could throw at it.

How We Delivered
- User-Friendly Digital Integration: We created a custom online portal that made ordering uniforms a breeze for everyone, from franchisees to the head office team. Franchisees could manage orders independently, keeping tabs on inventory, budgets, and compliance, while the head office enjoyed real-time oversight across all locations, ensuring seamless brand consistency.
- Wear Trials: We didn’t just guess what would work—we tested it. Through wear trials across various roles, we gathered key feedback to fine-tune every garment, resulting in uniforms that are durable, functional, and comfortable enough for daily wear.
- Streamlined Processes & Savings: Our digital tools didn’t just simplify the process—they made it smarter. By cutting down on admin tasks, we let Ferguson Plarre focus on what they do best: baking delicious treats. Plus, we helped phase out outdated stock, reducing waste and keeping costs in check.
