About Carrera
Founded in Austria in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger, who named the company after the perilous Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico, the brand built its reputation on rugged, performance-driven eyewear engineering.
Carrera is best known for its aviator and shield-style sunglasses, pioneering the lightweight Optyl frame material and later collaborating with Porsche Design — a racing heritage still reflected in its bold, sport-inspired designs today.
