GLCO: NOW PROUDLY HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN
"Japan has always been home to the greatest eyewear manufacturing in the world, and after 15 years of growth, learning, and refinement, we feel the time is right to bring all of our production there. This move allows us to elevate what we offer without sacrificing the principles that define GLCO.
For me personally, it’s deeply nostalgic. I grew up in this industry surrounded by eyewear made in Japan, and I’ll never forget the awe and excitement it inspired in people who discovered it for the first time. That same feeling continues to drive me today, and it’s what we want to pass on to every person who wears GLCO. This next chapter is both a celebration of where we’ve come from and a commitment to where we’re headed — delivering eyewear that honors the past, embraces the future, and always stays true to who we are.
Since day one, my vision has been to offer true value to our customers by focusing on what matters most to me: original design and uncompromising quality thru our California lens. My goal is to ensure that those that appreciate world class eyewear see the value in being part of the GLCO community."
