Tifosi Sunglasses

Tifosi Optics was founded in 2003 with the mission to provide technologically advanced eyewear to enthusiasts of all outdoor sports. The brand was established in the United States and quickly rose to prominence by offering high-quality, specialized sunglasses for cycling, running, and golf at a more accessible price point than traditional luxury sport brands.

While the company is headquartered in Georgia, USA, its manufacturing operations are primarily centered in Taiwan, a global hub for high-performance optical production. The name 'Tifosi' is the Italian word for 'fans' or 'enthusiasts,' reflecting the company's core demographic of passionate athletes.

Tifosi remains a privately held company under its original founders, Joe and Elizabeth Schlosser. This independent ownership has allowed the brand to maintain its focus on the 'value-performance' niche, consistently ranking as one of the top-selling brands in specialty cycling and running shops across North America.
