Enhanced Description

Since 1956, Carrera has been a leading Italian brand synonymous with high-performance eyewear. Founded by Wilhelm Anger and named after the legendary Carrera Panamericana race, the brand initially focused on sports eyewear for skiing and other demanding activities. Anger’s 1964 invention of Optyl—a revolutionary lightweight, hypoallergenic, and remarkably durable material—marked a turning point, setting a new standard for eyewear comfort and performance.

This commitment to innovation continued with the 1979 collaboration with Ferdinand Porsche, resulting in a line of foldable sunglasses with interchangeable lenses designed for professional athletes and racing drivers. By the 1980s, Carrera had expanded its range to include prescription frames, establishing a global presence in dozens of countries. Carrera frames quickly became renowned for their superior quality, reliability, safety, and unmatched functionality.

Today, Carrera eyewear seamlessly blends classic and sporty aesthetics, offering a versatile range for every occasion. Men’s frames exude masculinity and individuality, while women’s styles capture vibrancy and independence. Every pair ensures lasting comfort and impeccable style.
