About Us
Tinsel was founded with the belief that women deserve better when it comes to their tech. We started by trying to solve the pain points of a product we all know and find useful -- headphones -- and brought together a team to help us bring the project to life.
We are so proud to have a group that's incredibly cohesive and diverse. From those of us with years of experience in product development, manufacturing and industrial design, to years of experience in marketing, branding, operations and sales - we are all united by our passion to build beautiful well-made products.

Our Mission
Our mission is to create electronics that allow women to enjoy tech without sacrificing their style.
We aren’t aiming to create tech for tech’s sake, and we’re tired of the “make it pink” mentality that most companies have with designing tech for women. Tinsel wants to break the mold in addressing the practical tech needs with beautiful products that resonate with women.
At Tinsel, we know that true utility is determined by more than function alone. It’s the balance of functionality, how it makes women feel, and how it fits into their lives. We believe that a woman should love everything she wears.
So, to you ladies out there who love fashion, accessories, and your smartphones: Tinsel is creating a something special for YOU. Something you want to wear because it’s stylish, beautiful, and to top it off, serves a functional purpose.
