Garrett Leight California Optical

Founded in 2010, Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO) was born from a desire to capture the effortless, laid-back soul of Venice Beach. As the son of the founder of Oliver Peoples, Garrett Leight brings a lifetime of eyewear heritage to every design—blending classic American silhouettes with a modern, coastal perspective.

Celebrating hand-finished acetate and distinct proportions, GLCO frames are designed to be timeless essentials. At Friends in Sight, we curate this collection for those who value heritage craftsmanship and the easy-going spirit of California design.
