Between Where You've Been & Where You're Going
Gate Three started with a love for travel, but it became something much deeper. Inspired by the moments in between, where one chapter ends and another begins, Gate Three is a storytelling-driven eyewear brand designed for those stepping into the next version of themselves.
Life doesn't always happen in a straight line. Sometimes growth looks like starting over. Sometimes it looks like choosing yourself again. And sometimes it looks like finally deciding to board.
No matter where you're headed, every journey begins with a departure; and every new chapter begins with a choice.
More Than Just Sunglasses
Gate Three was created with two things in mind: how you feel and how you live.
We believe style should do more than complete a look. It should move with you through the moments that matter.
While our collections tell stories of growth, change, and becoming, select styles also include polarized lenses designed to reduce glare and make sunny moments more comfortable.
Because looking good matters.
But feeling good matters too.
From The Founder!
Hiyeee, I’m LaSha!
For years, I spent my life making the safe choice. The responsible choice.
I became a mom young, built a career, and made decisions based on what I felt I needed to do for my family and the people around me.
Along the way, I put many of my own dreams on hold. I dreamed of pursuing sports journalism. I dreamed of moving across the country. I dreamed of building something that felt entirely my own.
Life had other plans.
Over the years, I started businesses, explored new ideas, and searched for something that felt aligned with who I was becoming. What I eventually realized was that I wasn't searching for a business. I was searching for MYSELF.
Gate Three became the result of that journey. Not because I had everything figured out, but because I finally gave myself permission to begin.
Why Gate Three
The name started with travel. The airport gate exists in the space between where you've been and where you're about to go.
It's a place of anticipation. A place of possibility. A place where change begins. Gate Three felt especially meaningful because three has always been my number. I was born on the third and have three children.
But somewhere along the way, the meaning evolved.
Gate Three became a reminder that it's never too late to choose yourself, begin again or become who you're meant to be.
Because life doesn't always go according to plan, but that doesn't mean the story is over.
You're not late.
You're on your way.
