Founded in 2010 in Venice Beach, Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO) is an eyewear brand that blends timeless aesthetics with a relaxed, Californian sensibility. The son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight, Garrett Leight was inspired to create eyewear that reflected the culture of his community, resulting in classic, well-crafted frames. The brand is known for its attention to detail, sourcing high-quality materials like cured acetates and metals from Japan, Italy, and China, and using premium lenses. GLCO’s designs are influenced by the people, places, and stories of California, with many frames named after streets in Venice.
