Garrett Leight review

Garrett Leight is a designer label for buyers who care where their frames are made. The brand says it has moved all of its production to Japan, which founder Garrett Leight describes as home to the greatest eyewear manufacturing in the world, after 15 years of growth. Its sunglasses start at $425 for styles such as the Hancock Sun, Maggie Sun and Chaparral Sun, and the Lugo Sun costs $455. Most shapes are offered in several frame and lens color pairs, with semi-flat and pure lens options, and the brand sells sun clips for its optical frames. Warranty and repair requests go through GLCO flagship stores, authorized stockists or email, but the warranty page states no term. Free US shipping starts at $500. Garrett Leight ranks last because it has the highest starting price and the least documented warranty here. We compared documented features and published prices.
