When Garrett Leight launched his eyewear brand in 2011, his mission was to serve the community of Venice eccentrics with a lens shop as original as the customers. Designing with a deep reverence for history—Leight draws on a childhood spent assisting his father, Larry Leight, of Oliver Peoples fame—he channels literary icons such as Arthur Miller and Hunter S. Thompson. A subtle update on the retro look, the Garrett Leight frame is distinguished, anonymous, and a little bit weird.
