VISION & VIBE

Sunglasses that fit your face and your energy.

At Sol Kyst, we take a person-first approach. We don’t want you thinking about your sunglasses. We want you to live in them. Because when something fits right, looks amazing, and makes you feel confident — that’s when your energy shifts. That’s when you show up as your best, boldest self.

We’re redefining beauty standards with eyewear that empowers, uplifts, and actually fits. Designed for wide face babes, our frames are both style-forward and comfort-first. We put the world into shadows so you can shine. Revolutionizing the eyewear and beauty industry…

All of us, feeling beautiful, reaching for our sunnies - our armour and shield to take on the day - because let’s be real: a bomb pair of sunnies gives you an instant confidence boost + makes you feel like a bad B.

Our Come up

The Spark

It started on a beach during lockdown.

Downtown Toronto. Summer 2020. I was broke, burnt out, and unsure what was next. Sitting on the beach, I had the outfit, the energy — but my sunglasses? A complete fail. They looked like Harry Potter and John Lennon had a baby. I didn’t feel like me. I didn’t feel cute. And it was all because of one thing: the fit.

As someone with a wide face, I had spent years settling for sunglasses that pinched, slid, or looked awkward. Everything was made for narrow oval faces that excluded people like me.

Right then, truly like an idea that washed up on shore:

“I’m going to make the widest, best-fitting women’s sunglasses on the market.”

And I did.

The Build

I spent the rest of that summer buried in research — learning everything from eye protection to lens materials, acetate vs plastic, and optical engineering. At night, I was on Zoom calls with manufacturers, R&D teams, and engineers to bring my vision to life.

As a makeup artist, I’ve spent over a decade working with light, shadow, symmetry, and structure. So I applied that same artistry to sunglasses — using construction paper and scissors to experiment with shapes that would lift and enhance wider faces, instead of dragging them down.

Eventually, I designed our first prototype — a now-signature silhouette that became the Kyst Eye. And yes, we’re still using that same iconic design today.

The Breakout

When I posted the black Kyst Eye prototype on TikTok, I didn’t expect much. But within days, it had 120,000+ views. The comments were flooded with excitement from people who had never found sunglasses that truly fit. I didn’t even have a website yet.

So I scrambled. Launched a landing page. Collected 1,200+ emails in one weekend. Built my Shopify store in three days. And when I finally opened orders for one style — just one — in one size and one color… we made over $10,000 on launch day.

It was thrilling — and terrifying. We didn’t even have inventory in hand. But I knew: this was bigger than sunglasses.
