In 2010 Garrett Leight launched Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO), inspired by his father – Founder and Creative Director of iconic eyewear brand, Oliver Peoples – and the culture and creativity of his Venice Beach hometown. Garrett set out to impact the industry for a new generation by creating a cult classic brand through one-of-a-kind experiences at retail, e-commerce, and wholesale.

The hyper-California brand aesthetic with classically tailored styling and premium high-end quality manufacturing has created a global community of loyal followers who wear the brand almost exclusively. By highlighting and featuring a collective of creative Los Angeles influencers from film, music, art, fashion and sport through original content and sharing that with the world, GLCO has established itself as a leader and set itself apart from its competitors by being authentic, original, and most importantly, aspirational.
