ABOUT THE BRAND

It's NOT just a sunglass, it's Dezi.
The Story Behind the Shades
DEZI was born from a simple but powerful belief: you shouldn't have to choose between luxury and accessibility. Founded by Desi Perkins — beauty entrepreneur, creative force, and lifelong eyewear obsessive — DEZI is the brand she always wished existed.
Growing up, Desi fell in love with the transformative power of a great pair of sunglasses. The way they could elevate an entire look. The confidence they could spark in an instant. But finding eyewear that felt truly luxurious without the eye-watering price tag? That was another story. So she decided to create it herself.

Our Mission
At DEZI, we believe that bold, beautiful eyewear should be within reach for everyone. We obsess over every detail — the weight of the frame, the clarity of the lens, the precision of the fit — so that every pair feels like a luxury investment, without the luxury markup. Because confidence shouldn't come with a price barrier.
Design Philosophy
Every DEZI frame is designed to make a statement. We draw inspiration from clean architectural lines, timeless silhouettes, and the kind of effortless cool that never goes out of style. Whether you're reaching for something classic or something that stops traffic, DEZI eyewear is crafted to be the finishing touch that ties everything together — and then some.
As Worn By
Some moments speak for themselves.
Beyoncé reached for DEZI not once, not twice — but three times. From the CéCREd launch to stops on the Renaissance World Tour, she chose our frames when the whole world was watching.
Selena Gomez was spotted in the SLY — on her own time, off the clock, just living in DEZI.
Jenna Ortega wore DEZI through the entire Wednesday Season 2 press tour, in front of cameras from Harper's Bazaar, WWD, Marie Claire, and more.
Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Becky G, Jessica Alba, Kelly Rowland, Alix Earle the list keeps growing. Not because of a gifting strategy. Because when women who care about how they look reach for sunglasses, they reach for DEZI.
Milestones We're Proud Of
Nordstrom Partnership
DEZI found its home at Nordstrom, bringing our frames to style-forward shoppers across the country. It was a milestone that affirmed what we always knew: luxury-quality eyewear at accessible prices belongs on the biggest stages.
The Monet McMichael Collaboration
We joined forces with beauty creator and style icon Monet McMichael for a collection that blended her vibrant energy with DEZI's signature aesthetic. The collab sold out in 15 minutes and earned coverage in WWD, Forbes, The Cut, and Teen Vogue. Some things you can't plan — you just have to be ready when the moment comes.
The Press Noticed
Vogue. Harper's Bazaar. Elle. People. Cosmopolitan. Refinery29. Rolling Stone. InStyle. Forbes. These aren't paid placements — they're editors and journalists who discovered DEZI and couldn't stop writing about it. When the fashion world's most discerning voices keep coming back, you know you're doing something right.
Named a Top Latina-Owned Brand
Refinery29 named DEZI one of the best Latina-owned sunglasses brands — a recognition that means more to us than any sales milestone. Desi built this brand rooted in her identity, her culture, and her community. Seeing that reflected back is everything.
More Than a Sunglass
DEZI is for the woman who knows exactly who she is — and isn't afraid to show it. It's for the creative, the confident, the one who sees eyewear not as an accessory, but as an expression. We're here to make sure that expression is always extraordinary.
Welcome to DEZI. We're so glad you found us.
