The Ashland comes in three colour combinations

Garrett Leight's eyewear company was founded in 2010 in Venice, California.  As the son of Oliver Peoples creator Larry Leight, Garrett deeply values his eyewear background and West Coast roots.  The company is commonly referred to as "GLCO", short for "Garrett Leight California Optical", to let his fans know California is still very much an inspiration to all of his designs and creative process.

We Love It When Friends Pay Us A Visit

Recently we had Roberta from TAVAT stop by Toronto to meet with our Spectacle staff to discuss TAVAT's lens technology, the future of eyewear design & her love of fusion cuisine.

If you're unfamiliar with TAVAT, they incorporate a unique lens technology that utilizes a synthetic melanin to provide the ultimate in eye protection. The infused product results in improved clarity, enhanced contrast, and all without any colour distortion.

After the business talk was done, we took the opportunity to indulge in an amazing dinner at LEE on King St. West.

Special thanks to Susur Lee & his staff at LEE for the memorable meal and to Roberta for coming to visit us all at Spectacle!
