About Us
Welcome to thoughts of september .
Where the heart is always a little bigger than the mind.
A place where there are tears and arguments. Where people stumble and get back up again.
Where big dreams are pursued with great courage.
How else would we come up with the idea of producing underwear entirely in Switzerland using sustainable materials? Or offering 60 sizes, true to the motto " beautiful in every shape "?
Welcome, we're so glad you're here!
philosophy
Yes, we believe that all people are beautiful and right, just the way they are - including you!
We believe in the beauty that lies beyond beauty ideals. That's why we offer so many sizes, because we want nothing more than for everyone to be able to wear beautiful and comfortable underwear – regardless of their clothing size.
How it all began
Hey, I'm Zippora. In 2018 I was looking for underwear for myself... but everything I could find was either not sustainable, not comfortable, or just looked incredibly boring.
Back then I wore a 75B, which is pretty much the standard size... And yet my search was unsuccessful. Although, I can't really say that now, because, as you can easily guess, I simply started sewing my own lingerie!
I already had the right training: I am originally a women's tailor and after my training as a pattern maker I worked for several years in development for a larger sportswear brand.
The fact that sewing suitable underwear for so many different people has now actually become my profession is simply incredible!

When I'm not working, I like to spend my time with the people I love, a good cup of coffee, or my countless other creative projects.
In 2025, besides beautiful underwear, I discovered my second passion: With my funeral speeches and farewell ceremonies, I try to make it easier for bereaved people to say goodbye to loved ones.

To thoughts of september What drives me is the desire to leave a healthy and livable world for future generations, and the opportunity to create a sustainable company without compromise. I want to prove that there is another way – that sustainable production in Switzerland is possible, without greenwashing and with genuine concern for our employees, our society, and our planet.
