A Quarter Zip Jumper for Her
The Quarter Zip is a piece I often saw worn by colleagues, friends, and those navigating the corporate streets of London and beyond. But one question always lingered—why wasn’t the Quarter Zip ever truly designed with women in mind? Why was the first image that came to mind always a man wearing it, embodying the style? And why, when searching for “Quarter Zip for women” online, were the options limited to loungewear or cropped jumpers? It felt like time for a change, so we created the "Quarter Zip (Her Version)"
Hi, I’m Dani, and before fully diving into Miufu, I started my career in finance. Those years left me with plenty of memories—beyond just spreadsheets, building models, and setting my alarm for 5 a.m. One habit I particularly remember was planning my outfits the night before, wishing I could wear something as comfortable as my lounging clothes but polished enough for the office.
Sometimes, I even envied the simplicity of how the men dressed at work. Navy trousers paired with a Quarter Zip in a variety of colors and a crisp shirt underneath—it was practically a uniform. And honestly, it worked. It was effortless, warm, professional, and even stylish. I couldn’t help but think, Why can’t I have something like that too?
But when I went looking for options, I came up empty-handed. The offerings for women were either loungewear or cropped jumpers—neither of which fit what I wanted. That’s when the idea was born: to design a Quarter Zip for women. One that would be as cozy as your partner’s but flattering, polished, and distinctly feminine.
The design checklist was clear: a timeless navy hue, no logos, and only natural fibers—a luxurious blend of cashmere and wool. To bring it to life, we partnered with an Italian knitwear family business with decades of expertise. After several rounds of prototyping, we finally created the Quarter Zip we’d been dreaming of.
The result? A wardrobe staple that bridges comfort and sophistication, reimagining a classic for women. The "Quarter Zip (Her Version)" is more than just a garment; it's a piece that feels effortless, empowering, and versatile—just like the women we designed it for.
