What is the origin of the Carrera brand?

The brand was founded in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger in Austria. It takes its name from the famous 'Carrera Panamericana' car race. This 'Racing' heritage still defines the sporty and bold design of its glasses today.

What is the Optyl material used by Carrera?

Optyl is a thermosetting plastic patented by the brand. It is 20% lighter than standard acetate, hypoallergenic, and possesses a 'shape memory' that allows it to adapt perfectly to the face for optimal comfort.

Are Carrera sunglasses suitable for sports?

Yes, many models (especially the Active line) are designed for movement. Thanks to Optyl and rubber grips on the temples of certain frames, they offer exceptional hold while remaining extremely lightweight.

Frequently Asked Questions about Carrera

How to recognise "Flag" Carreras? +

The "Flag" collection is the brand's signature. It is distinguished by a small tricolour stripe (often red-white-red or black-white-black) painted on the front or temples, recalling the lines of a racing circuit or ski helmet.

Can I put prescription lenses in a Carrera? +

Absolutely. Most Carrera frames (especially navigator or square shapes) are perfectly "optical friendly". Our opticians can fit prescription lenses tinted to your sight.

What is the difference between Carrera and Porsche Design? +

Historically linked (Carrera manufactured for Porsche Design in the 70s/80s), the two brands are now distinct. Carrera offers a more urban, young, and colourful style, while Porsche Design focuses on technical luxury and titanium.
