This is our story
Six years ago they said we were crazy!
We love jeans and took a risk. We did something the experts said was impossible. We combined fashion and fit with science to create a unique service that millions of women love today.
This is us and here’s our crazy story. If we learned one thing over the past six years. Don’t listen to doubters and never give up on your dream!
Buying jeans is hard, we knew that at the start
12500 women have visited our offices and told us about the hours of frustration going round stores. Being in the changing room surrounded by jeans and looking in the mirror and sighing.
Over the past 20 years we’ve worked in the jeans business and it’s always the same. So how could we make it different. Our goal was simple – HELP WOMEN FIND GREAT JEANS.
In 2004 we decided to make a difference, in 2005 we made a discovery
We scanned, measured and tried endless jeans on women. We even rented a small office in an old converted bakery right opposite Pixar. This was the view from our window!
Our discovery was that women who are the same shape have the same experience with jeans.
A small problem called distance
We women come in many different shapes! When a women visited our offices, we could see her shape. But what if she was 2000 miles away on a computer and we couldn’t see them?
We started asking questions and found that if you asked the right questions you’d get the right answer, duh! We were like detectives, searching for clues.
It’s 2006 and our baby is on display
In April ’06 we launched our baby and got mass…..
Skepticism….
“It’s impossible, it can’t be done, you’re a fake”…. We heard it all from women, journalists and retailers. Then they used Zafu it all changed.
Time Magazine named us as one of their top ten sites of the year.
We continued testing, improving and adding new jeans. Retailers and brands saw what we were doing and phoned us to ask for help with their jeans.
From crazy people to experts. It’s been great fun for us and we hope you enjoy it too.

What happened to the bra finder????? It was great. The booklet is interesting, but now I’ve got 200+ choices to sort through. And let’s face it, trying on is not an option for 34DDD – no store stocks that size, and certainly not any variety.
i love zafu! i discovered you guys a few years ago and ended up getting a great pair of jeans because of your advice. life has taken its toll over the last few years and i decided to revisit your site as my body has changed and i just am not satisfied with the way my jeans are fitting anymore! i have to say i was so sad and disappointed to discover that i was no longer permitted to peruse the website… without paying. i know things change, and i congratulate you on your apparent success, though i am sorry this couldn’t remain a free service. best of luck with your continued success.
sincerely,
india
How about fit for my bloomers/knickers/underwear ?
