Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO) is a high-end eyewear brand founded in 2010 in Venice Beach by Garrett Leight. Born into a family with a passion for eyewear, his father being the founder and creative director of Oliver Peoples, Garrett grew up in the world of optics and fashion, and has infused GLCO with an innovative spirit while preserving the authenticity of classic designs. Today, the brand brings together a global family of opticians, artists, creators and designers, all united by the desire to redefine optics in a timeless, modern way.
Unmatched expertise and high-end materials
The manufacture of Garrett Leight eyewear is based on meticulous craftsmanship and the use of the finest materials on the market. The brand selects high-quality cellulose acetates and metals from leading suppliers in Japan, Italy and China, with centuries of experience in eyewear manufacturing. Each pair of Garrett Leight eyewear is designed in their Los Angeles studio, where decades of optical tradition blend with contemporary creative vision. Their mineral glass and CR-39 optical plastic lenses are treated with anti-reflective coatings and layered mirrors to offer optimum visual clarity and UV protection.
Timeless and modern frames
Garrett Leight reinvents classic shapes through a modern prism, drawing inspiration from iconic silhouettes while adapting them to current trends. GLCO frames, such as the Kinney model, both classic and timeless with its key bridge, or the Wilson model, a round metal frame inspired by John Lennon, embody the perfect balance between heritage and innovation. The Brooks model, a square style featured in the brand's first collection, is an excellent example of Garrett Leight's ability to fuse classic details with exclusive materials to create exceptional pieces. These frames are available in a range of acetate colors, offering each wearer a unique pair that is both elegant and functional.
