6 reasons why you should choose Garrett Leight glasses

Created in 2010, Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO) is a premium eyewear brand that combines quality craftsmanship with a timeless aesthetic. Taking its inspiration from the people, places and stories of the Golden State, GLCO products exude a modern, laid-back vibe without compromising on meticulous design. If you’re looking for a new pair of glasses, Garrett Leight is an excellent choice for many reasons.

1. Comfort

Garrett Leight sunglasses and optical glasses are handmade to deliver optimal comfort. Each feature is carefully considered for fit, proportion and wearability, ensuring that every design can be worn all day. What’s more, the frames can be adjusted by opticians such as The Eye Establishment to provide a custom fit and lenses that match your prescription.

2. Quality

High-quality, durable materials such as mineral glass and scratch-resistant CR-39 plastic are used in the construction of each pair of GLCO glasses. The result is a frame that can be worn for years, whether you need optical glasses for daily use or sunglasses for seasonal wear.

3. Variety

Garrett Leight has embraced the demand for a personal touch. As such, many of its frames are available in a selection of colourways, some of which are designed exclusively for the brand. Buyers can choose their preferred model in a colour that suits their skin tone, hair colour and/or preferences. Sunglasses can be specified with different lens tints to match personal styles too.

4. Timeless appeal

While some manufacturers specialise in fashion-forward designs that are very much of the season, Garrett Leight glasses hold a timeless appeal that remains on trend year after year. Classic shapes provide lasting appeal, making these frames an investment as opposed to a purchase with a limited lifespan.

5. Versatility 

Garrett Leight’s designs offer exceptional versatility, being suited to both men and women, as well as a variety of face shapes. The Kinney Sun, for example, is one of the most popular unisex frames thanks to its classic proportions and round shape, which complement square, oval and oblong faces. Similarly, the Hampton X optical frame is a bestseller that looks equally stylish on men and women.

6. Value

While GLCO frames may seem to require a significant outlay, they provide exceptional value. Designed to last, they come with a two-year warranty that begins on the date of delivery. They can also be repaired by specialists if damage occurs.

Moreover, several of the brand’s products - including the Kinney, Clune and Wilson can be enhanced with a sun clip, enabling buyers to effortlessly turn their optical frames into sunglasses. This offers convenience as well as savings on the purchase of an additional pair of sunglasses.
