Garrett Leight reviews and discussion

I splurged & got a pair of Garrett Leight sunglasses & feel like they are a staple piece in my wardrobe now. They look like an elevated vintage pair of sunglasses that are timeless, chic & so cool. They also do really fun collabs.

I've owned 2+ pairs of Brooks sunglasses and one pair of 10th anniversary Brooks sunglasses. Only had to replace from user error (dropping on lenses, getting scratched etc.). If you ask me, Garrett Leight makes the best (cool) sunglasses for your money. The quality of the lenses and the frames are quite good, and obviously less costly than Oliver Peoples, Jacque Marie Mage, and that ilk. One thing I do not like about Garrett Leight, is the customer service and the people they employ in their stores. Classic issue of a "cool" brand trying to get "cool" people to work in their stores, vs. people that are nice, friendly, or good at customer service. I've been to both locations in NYC, and at least twice in Venice. Always the same story. The one year warranty is cool, I broke my folding part on one side of my frames, and they fixed it for something relatively nominal/under $100 (or offered me a significant discount on replacing). They told me it would take two weeks to fix them, it took closer to a month.

I have a pair of their sunglasses which I love! They are a unique blue-grey color that are very flattering with all my outfits! I also get alot of compliments on them.

I bought a pair of Garrett Leight Hampton frames and they’re some of the best I’ve ever owned. They look great in a pretty timeless way, they’ve worn well and are one of the few pairs of glasses that make me want to wear them over contacts.
