Since 1956, Carrera has been synonymous with high-performance eyewear, born from the thrill of the Carrera Panamericana race. Founded by Wilhelm Anger, the brand initially focused on sports eyewear for skiing, reflecting its origins in demanding athletic pursuits. This heritage of innovation continues today.
In 1964, Anger revolutionized eyewear with the invention of Optyl, a unique material boasting lightness, memory effect, thermoactivity, durability, elasticity, and hypoallergenic properties. This commitment to material excellence ensured Carrera's eyewear was as reliable as it was stylish. A landmark collaboration with Ferdinand Porsche and Porsche Design in 1979 resulted in groundbreaking foldable sunglasses with interchangeable lenses, designed for professional drivers and athletes.
By the 1980s, Carrera had expanded its collection to include prescription frames, establishing a global presence in major cities across eighty countries. The brand’s reputation for superior quality, safety, and functionality was firmly cemented.
Today, Carrera eyeglasses and sunglasses offered by Safilo, a top-three global eyewear producer, seamlessly blend classic and sporty styles. Men's frames exude rugged sophistication and individuality, while women's styles express vibrancy and independence. Every pair offers exceptional comfort, versatility, and impeccable style, reflecting the enduring legacy of a brand that consistently pushes the boundaries of design and technology. The Carrera 2043T 807 (49-17) embodies this legacy – a testament to superior craftsmanship and enduring design. Experience the difference.
