Carrera Glasses: The Legendary Heritage Meets Modern Innovation

The Carrera glasses embody an exceptional fusion of sport and fashion. This combination of sporty functionality and trendy style is deeply rooted in the DNA of this iconic brand. An exploration of its origins reveals surprises: Carrera started as a motorsport brand before becoming a reference in the world of glasses.

The Tradition of Carrera Glasses: A Remarkable Heritage

The history of Carrera glasses dates back to 1956. Before becoming inextricably linked to the automobile manufacturer Porsche, the company founded by Wilhelm Anger in Austria specialized in the production of ski and motorcycle glasses. Pioneering, Carrera was one of the first to design lightweight plastic sport frames. The current success of trendy glasses relies on their expertise in producing high-quality plastics. As early as the 60s, renowned fashion houses like Dior collaborated with Carrera, already well established in the sports sector. The Optyl material, developed by Wilhelm Anger, revolutionized the production of sports glasses due to its lightness and flexibility.

Carrera: Functional Innovation as the Basis of Design

A major turning point in the history of Carrera glasses was the collaboration with the famous designer Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. In the late 1970s, he introduced innovations such as interchangeable lenses and folding glasses, which enriched the Carrera Porsche Design collections. These advancements paved the way for Carrera's entry into the prescription glasses market in the 80s, making Carrera frames an international success. Today, Carrera is part of the Italian group Safilo, and its reputation rests on unmatched quality and design standards.
