Zanbazan

About the offering

Zanbazan founder Nargis Mougey is a mother, United States Army veteran, and first-generation immigrant. During Mougey’s service in the US Army, she commanded an all-male field artillery unit. Following her maternity leave, Mougey was acutely aware of the fallibility of postnatal and breastfeeding/pumping clothing, especially for women returning to an active lifestyle. She endeavored to discover and create a better way forward for new mothers. With a nod to her familial heritage, Zanbazan (pronounced zahn-ba-zahn), Dari Persian for “woman-to-woman” was formed. Determined to find a solution without compromise, Mougey developed the now patent-pending design system that’s set to transform the nursing and pumping experience for new mothers. While the garments available on the current market have snaps and side zippers, they all expose some skin; certainly not ideal for women in the military or in many public or professional environments. Mougey fashioned a double-sided and closed-in solution with the zipper hidden beneath the pleat of the garments. When the initial prototype was created, she began wearing it in the field to ensure capability and quality. Satisfied with the system’s performance, the vision for the collection began to take shape and now Zanbazan is primed to revolutionize fashion and function in the postnatal garment industry.
