Garrett Leight California Optical | Spring Summer 2012

Garrett Leight California Optical GLCO SS 2012

The Garrett Leight California Optical (GLCO) Spring Summer 2012 collection is now available.

Garrett Leight takes us on an exploration of the California mountains in search of the sun and to present his latest Summer 2012 offering.  A fitting backdrop for a collection which shows great range and creatively utilizes an array of textures, colors, and materials.

The collection encompasses a variety of distinct new styles.  From pieces inspired by classic mid-century design to chic oversized styles for women, each of which has that signature clean GLCO aesthetic we can’t get enough of.  The palette includes a host of rich sophisticated colors, including some cool and unique complimentary color pairings, such as: Crystal paired with Aquamarine temples or a Matte Black front paired with “Matte Spotted Tortoise” temples and antique gold metal (one of our favorite combos).

Garrett Leight California Optical SS 2012

As always each is style is perfectly executed using the best materials, notable technical features include: Italian or Japanese aged acetate, real hand-drilled riveted hinges plated in gold and silver for strength/durability, and American Glass lenses with a back anti-reflective coating for superb optics.

The collection:


Garrett Leight Harrison sunglasses

The Harrison is a smaller round frame inspired by one of the most classic British designs of all time. Originally it was given out as a British health insurance frame to English patients with poor vision. The GLCO sunglass version offers a bit of a twist by adding a metal top bar and mixing antique gold and silver within intricate metal filigree detail. Additionally, Italian Windsor rims were sourced for authenticity.
