Carrera was named by Wilhelm Anger in homage to the legendary Mexican car race, the Carrera Panamericana — a symbol of speed, courage, and innovation.
Carrera’s iconic aviator silhouettes reinterpret timeless design with bold, contemporary flair: thick acetate frames, geometric lines, and futuristic cat-eye shapes that resonate with a new generation of style enthusiasts. In addition to Optyl — the thermodynamic plastic patented by Carrera, renowned for its lightness and resistance to extreme temperatures — the brand also employs premium materials such as acetate, titanium, and monel metal.
The lenses, available in both polarized and non-polarized versions, feature mirrored or gradient finishes, reflecting Carrera’s constant pursuit of performance, protection, and unmistakable style.
