![]() Probably, definitely accessories will be my thing for a very long time. I feel like I have a lot going on in my brain. And I would actually, I think I will like to stick in the accessories field and maybe venture into bags. TV: Would you want to expand the line at all into shoes or purses or anything else? Elisa: I do have so many other creative ideas. And then from there, I mean, obviously I want a brand that has longevity, but definitely, this is about seeing what people love and then basing it off of that. TV: Do you have a plan in place for how often your release launch, or release sunglasses, or is it just seeing how this goes first? Elisa: For sure this is about testing the waters, see how people react to my line. So it's a pretty detailed process, but I love it. And so it's very detailed, how many millimeters from your eye to your nose. And so people don't understand when you see the sketches, there are all these numbers. There's an art and there's also math to it. So I started sketching and then I would send it to the manufacturer and then she would create the computer version, but that's basically how it started. ![]() So he let me in on his manufacturer and then, I also know how to draw. We became really close and he became my mentor. Luckily my friend owns the brand Roberi & Fraud. TV: When it comes to the design process, did you sketch out something? How did you work with manufacturers? Elisa: Yeah. And accessories just feel like they're the most fun. And so I was like, "What if I had my own line?" And I thought that would be cool.

So definitely, that's the beginning of my sunglass journey was when I was in high school. They elevate your look, and they elevate your confidence. And it definitely enhanced my confidence. And I felt that whenever I put a sunglass on or a unique pair, it just completely made me feel like a whole new girl. TV: Why did you go with sunglasses instead of another accessory? Elisa: For me, I started loving sunglasses at a very young age because in high school, I said this before, but in high school, I had some insecurities with certain facial features. So it's like, I don't know, I felt it was important that I made sure that people hopefully, could afford the glasses. And no one really wants to spend $300 or $400 on a pair of glasses that you could lose in five seconds. like the people who are following me are the same age normally. And me being 26 years old and the rest of the world being. ![]() And so I wanted to make sure that my product looked luxe, but was still accessible to all. TV: Was making it affordable important to you? Elisa: Definitely, I've found that when I was looking at sunglasses, I was seeing a lot of prices that I felt were a little bit overpriced. Because like I said, everyone has a different face shape. And I wanted to make sure that I had a range. So I wanted to make sure there were all of the sizes from the oval to cat-eye to square. ![]() Sunglasses are a very personal relationship. I understand people have different bases.

Elisa Johnson: I definitely wanted to make sure that I hit all the marks and I wanted to make sure that there was a style for everybody.
