Garrett Leight California Optical was created in 2010 and is fueled by a group of young, passionate purveyors of eyewear, dedicated to creating classic designs by combining perfect craftsmanship with timeless aesthetics.
Founded in Venice Beach, GLCO is influenced and inspired by the people, places, and stories of California. Each design incorporates the easy-going philosophy of California culture and is stamped with VC/CA 90291 as a reminder of their Venice roots.
GLCO uses the most exclusive, highest quality materials from the best suppliers in the industry with hundreds of years of experience. Their cured acetates, ranging from deadstock to colorways exclusively designed and produced for GLCO, are sourced from the top acetate houses in Japan, Italy, and China.
Subtle details and technical features are carefully considered for fit, proportion, and comfort. They demand a high standard of perfect quality to guarantee our customers the ultimate value in quality and style. They have spend years mastering the intricate details of a GLCO frame with our factory partners before releasing a frame to market.
