Enhanced Description

Since 1956, CARRERA has been synonymous with high-performance eyewear. Founded by Wilhelm Anger and named after the infamous Carrera Panamericana race, the brand initially focused on sports eyewear for skiers and athletes. This heritage of innovation continues today.

In 1964, Anger revolutionized eyewear with the invention of Optyl, a unique material boasting lightness, memory effect, thermoactivity, strength, elasticity, and hypoallergenic properties. This commitment to material excellence continues to define CARRERA’s superior quality. Further solidifying its sporting pedigree, CARRERA collaborated with Ferdinand Porsche in 1979 to create foldable sunglasses with interchangeable lenses for professional racing drivers and athletes.

By the 1980s, CARRERA had expanded its offerings to include prescription frames, boasting a global presence in major cities across 80 countries. The brand consistently embodied high quality, reliability, safety, and unparalleled functionality.

Today, CARRERA eyewear seamlessly blends classic and sporty styles, offering versatile options for every occasion. Men’s frames exude masculinity and individuality, while women’s styles showcase vibrancy and independence. Whether sunglasses or prescription frames, CARRERA eyewear provides exceptional comfort, enduring style, and unwavering quality for prolonged wear.

Manufactured by Safilo Group, one of the world’s top three eyewear producers, CARRERA frames leverage premium materials and cutting-edge technology to deliver unsurpassed design and reliability. The CARRERA 3040 SZJ (53-19) exemplifies this commitment to excellence, offering a perfect blend of performance and timeless style.
