Sonder & Tell + Jigsaw create Comfort Zones the book

The iconic fashion brand Jigsaw is in the business of selling clothes, not books. But we believed that an essay anthology could appeal to the Jigsaw customer’s wider cultural interests, align the brand with their target audience and raise money for a relevant cause. We worked closely with their marketing team and EIC Ana Santi along with design studio Duzi to create Comfort Zones the book, a collection of essays, letters and stories by 28 influential women writers. We challenged writers to go out of their comfort zone and produce something brave, vulnerable and new. The book launched to great success at the Jigsaw flagship store in Piccadilly and all proceeds will go to Women for Women International, a charity which runs employability programmes for women affected by conflict.
