15 Years of GLCO
Garrett Leight was born in Los Angeles 1984, and was raised in a world of eyewear. After working for his father- the legendary Larry Leight – Garrett set out to make his own mark on the eyewear world.
In 2009 he opened his own optical boutique. Shortly after he began to create his own designs and GLCO was born. The brand is influenced by the classic looks and fashions of California infused with material and stylistic innovations, and a fresh, youthful aesthetic.
In 2010 he travelled across Europe to showcase his creations in person. Garrett had one mission: to open accounts with the best optical stores in the world.
We’re proud to have partnered with GLCO since the very start. Their commitment to effortless wearable style never falters. There’s a reason why Garrett’s frames are so popular.
This year, GLCO is celebrating its 15th anniversary with some special edition frames.
Firstly, he has made some updates to the Forever Classics series. The Forever Classics are those frames that everyone should have in their wardrobe. They’re like your perfect tshirt or sneakers. They look great with everything and you love to wear them. For this collection, Garrett has partnered with Japanese craftsman to add finesse with titanium details and nosepads. He’s also reimagined the best-selling Wilson with a thicker acetate rim for a punchier silhouette.
The 15th anniversary series also includes some new pieces, like this shallow tear-drop P.3:
William is available in both optical and sun, and can also be paired with a custom sun clip for added versatility.

A word from Garrett:
“If you are reading this, then I want you to know something. For 15 years the two most important things to me that have never wavered are the products we mak eand your experience with them and us as a company. I’m grateful that you found us and ultimately glasses are just a thing, but I hope they enrich your life and give you the confidence to be the person you want to be. At the very least, I guarantee it will protect your eyes and compliment your style. This is my cheers to fifteen years of doing this, thanks to people like you.”
