Carrera is a trademark that specializes in sunglasses and sports eyewear. Inspired by the Carrera Panamericana auto race, Austria's Wilhem Anger founded Carrera in 1956. Carrera eyewear is well-known for its patented material "Optyl", which weights less than acetate and provides permanent elasticity and dimensional stability. Although Carrera sunglasses are most famous for racing sunglasses and are created with function and sports enthusiasts in mind, they seamlessly combines practicality with fashion.
