Mr. Leight is an authentic culmination of Larry Leight’s personal and professional journey and Garrett Leight’s entrepreneurial spirit and contemporary vision. A father-son collaboration. A rare legacy brand. Both men are generational leaders in a single-focus, niche category. Eyewear is their passion. Mr. Leight is an ode to the iconic Slim Aarons sensibility. The brand envisions glamorous people, places and lifestyles and makes eyewear that embraces this mystique.
Designed to be a window into Larry Leight’s imagination and Garrett Leight’s contemporary vision, Mr. Leight evokes a modern-day interpretation of the jet set aesthetic. The sophisticated and elevated designs that Mr. Leight offers are instantly recognizable and discreetly luxurious with a strong emotional appeal and aspirational lifestyle. Larry’s lifetime fascination with style and global cultural influences, combined with a deep, tribal knowledge of eyewear design sets Mr. Leight apart.
From a product standpoint, innovation and thoughtful design are enhanced by the sourcing of precious traditional materials and increasingly rare handcrafted techniques. The flawless fit and comfort of every frame result from Larry’s 40 years of optical expertise and meticulous attention to detail. The functional and stylistic versatility built into these frames offers a higher value proposition to our discerning customer.
Every meticulously thought out detail of the collection is custom engineered with a focus on original design and aesthetic.
Each frame element, from the smallest screw to the filigree patterns, is unique to the brand. All of the styles are entirely hand finished in Japan, in factories that have been working with the Leight family for the last 30 years.
With a focus on attention to detail in all aspects of the product experience, Mr. Leight cases are carefully considered, not just to protect the frames when not being worn, but as beautiful accessories in their own right.
