About Brelia
Brelia is a newly founded, U.S.-focused premium DTC wellness brand designed for U.S. adults focused on beauty, wellness and personal style.
Designed for U.S. adults who value beauty, well-being, and self-expression across the many roles of everyday life, Brelia explores a more graceful way for technology to live alongside personal style. We believe connected wellness can feel warm, intuitive, and beautifully integrated — becoming a natural part of how customers dress, move, live, and care for themselves.
Brelia brings together refined design, meaningful health insights, and the quiet confidence of everyday wellbeing. With a design-led approach, we create smart wearables that are elegant enough to be styled as jewelry, yet thoughtful enough to support a deeper connection with one’s body and daily rhythm.
Although Brelia is a new brand, it is built with the discipline and technical foundation of an experienced consumer health technology team. Our founder is also the creator of YUNMAI, a smart health technology company established in China in 2014. With more than a decade of proven experience in smart hardware development, supply chain execution, connected wellness products, and end-to-end digital experiences, our founding team brings the product depth, operational reliability, and entrepreneurial drive required to build a category-defining brand from the ground up.
As Brelia prepares to enter the U.S. market, our ambition is to shape a new generation of wellness wearables — where elegant design, thoughtful technology, and everyday self-expression come together naturally.
