About OpticPulsse Studio.
Synchronizing Sunlight with Style
Founders: Yanni and Li
1. The Origin: A Saipan Surfing Memory
OpticPulsse Studio’s story began with a surfing trip to Saipan. Founders Yanni and Li set out with three pairs of sunglasses, only to face frustration at every turn:
- Professional outdoor models: Bulky and nose-crushing, leaving red marks after just one afternoon.
- Trendy styles: Thin lenses failed to block midday glare from the ocean pier, stinging their eyes even when squinting.
- Commuter models: Lightweight, but seawater splashes instantly blurred vision.
What was meant to be a relaxing trip became a cycle of adjusting frames and wiping lenses—their frustration sparking a critical question.
2. The "Why" & The Leap
“Why can’t we find sunglasses that balance protection, comfort, and style?” This question lingered on their flight home, and it led to action:
- Li quit her job as a fashion editor to focus fully on developing better sunglasses.
- Yanni set out to solve the “non-pressing yet stable” frame challenge: She visited over a dozen factories with prototypes, tweaking titanium alloy curvature until test wearers could comfortably wear the frames for 4 consecutive hours without fatigue.
3. Perfecting the Details: Lenses & Design
To deliver both protection and clarity, Yanni collaborated with an optical lab. After testing 23 lens coatings, they settled on high-definition polarized lenses that filter 99.8% of UVA/UVB rays—even cutting through midday road glare during driving.
In design, OpticPulsse rejects the “either/or” of outdoor vs. commuter styles, instead catering to diverse lifestyles:
- For urban explorers: Minimalist thin-frame styles with milky tea or light gray lenses, pairing seamlessly with trench coats or hoodies.
- For outdoor enthusiasts: Sporty models with non-slip temples (silicone particles inside) to stay secure during running or jumping.
- For travelers: A foldable version that fits neatly into a compact makeup bag.
4. More Than Sun-Blocking: A "Style Companion"
Yanni and Li emphasize OpticPulsse is not just a “sun-blocking tool”—it’s a “style companion” for embracing the sun in every moment:
- The first rays of dawn on your commute
- Dappled light through leaves during weekend camping
- Sparkling ocean glints while surfing
Wearing OpticPulsse protects your eyes’ comfort and showcases your unique life rhythm. After all, sunlight should never be a constraint—it’s the backdrop that makes your style shine brighter.
