The Zipbra Front

The zipper
The Zipbra™ front is mainly a warm and comfortable bra in merino wool that works well in almost any situation, and can be worn as a normal bra. In addition there is a zipper on the chest, making it easier to get on and take off and eliminating the need to wiggle in and out of tight sport bras.

Areas of use
Use the Zipbra™ front by itself as a comfortable wool bra that gives you the opportunity to dress and undress quickly. Alternatively, wear it over another wool bra on colder days for an extra layer of isolation. Perfect for the office, hiking, yoga, dinner parties, and any other situation where you need a comfortable wool bra.

Combine with Zipbra™ side
Rule of thumb: Always bring a Zipbra™ front along with you on an adventure! The combination of Zipbra™ front and Zipbra™ side is the perfect duo for any sweaty activity. Start your day with Zipbra™ side, and change from a wet and cold bra to a warm and dry Zipbra™ front in seconds when you are ready to head home.

Extra isolation
The Zipbra™ front has two hidden pockets on the inside of the chest. This gives you the possibility to add an extra layer of wool for more isolation on cold days. (Or if you just get cold easily.) Here is how to give an old wool garment new life by making your own padding:

1. Find a piece of old wool (blanket, sweater, socks, etc.)
2. Fasten the paper stencil that came with the bra onto the wool with needles
3. Cut out as many layers as you want (the more layers the thicker the padding)
4. Sew the layers together with needle and thread
5. Place the isolation in the pocket on the inside of the Zipbra™ and stay warm!

Designed by our customers
This product was developed with our Community in the period March 2021 - October 2021. When we reach a final design on new products, we always send them through a decision phase before we produce a large amount. In other words, we ask the market if this is a product that is needed or not. We do this to avoid overproduction of products that people don't really want. The Zipbra™ front was obviously a product the world wanted, and received 105 out of the 100 necessary reservations to become part of our permanent collection.

STORE AND MICROFACTORY
Our store is not your typical shop. Sure, we sell clothes and make money from it, but can we do everything the opposite of what typical clothing stores do? Our goal is just as much about opening minds and showing that it's possible to do things in a completely different way, with a totally different footprint.

Visit us at Grünerløkka in Oslo (where Markveien crosses Korsgata) to try on clothes, share your input on new products, repair worn garments, see how your products are made, or just have a chat with one of us. More information about the store here. Read more about our store concept here.
