Carrera glasses are unmistakably iconic and sporty. The sporty character of Carrera is in the DNA of the brand: Carrera has been driven by sports for decades. The history of Carrera began in the 1950s, when Wilhelm Anger was inspired by the Carrera Panamericana races. The Austrian designer launched the first Carrera eyewear collections shortly afterwards. The brand's products were an immediate success and Carrera frames are still present in fashion today.
