Leight California Optical (GLCO) is an American luxury eyewear brand launched in 2011 in Venice Beach California.
The brand was founded by Garrett Leight, the son of Larry Leight who founded the iconic Los Angeles eyewear
brand Oliver Peoples. Inspired by his father, Garrett has continued on a legacy of exquisitely designed eyewear,
and top-quality craftsmanship. Because GLCO is the product of multi-generational expertise, you know you are
receiving timeless classic pieces, made with high-end materials, and all designed in the Garrett Leight studio
in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. We know that at our Potts Point Optometrist, having carried
Garrett Leight glasses and sunglasses since around the time that the brand was founded that Garrett Leight has
developed a substantial following in Australia. Some of our patients have chosen to buy Garrett Leight
sunglasses off the shelf, others have had us craft a pair with custom tinted coloured lenses, and many have had
us mount prescription sunglass lenses into their Garrett Leight frames.
Frequently coined the “cool-kid eyewear brand of the future”, it is no surprise that Garrett Leight Eyewear
has attracted a global community of loyal customers, including a large and diverse celebrity clientele. From
Jennifer Lawrence and Brad Pitt to Black Thought and Seth Rogen, Garrett Leight optical products have
developed a cult status and are a staple in many wardrobes. There is good reason Garrett Leight California
Optical have developed such an impressive clientele and reputation – their eyewear is timeless, stylish, and
pure quality.
Garrett Leight frames are created from cured cellulose acetate sourced from the very best acetate suppliers
including Japan, and Mazzuchelli Italy, among others. Acetate is the perfect material making Garrett Leight
frames lightweight, exceptionally resilient, and very well suited to those with sensitive skin. Garrett
Leight lenses are made from mineral glass and scratch resistant CR-39 resin and are finished with a
reflective coating among other treatments to ensure premium eye protection, and the best visual acuity
possible. Importantly, all sunglass lenses come with UV protection so to ensure optimal eye health.
