Carrera designer sunglasses
Glasses
Carrera was created as a brand in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger taking his inspiration from the Carrera Pan Americana car races in the fifties. In 1964 Carrera patented a special thermoplastic material called Optyl which is some 20% lower weight than other materials used and affords permanent elasticity and dimension stability. Over the next few years Carrera continued developing its range and in the 1970’s Carrera entered the vast world of Ski Products and launched its first goggles and helmets collection. Continued success for the brand seen the company opening its headquarters in Traun, Austria in 1977 and the appointment of the companies first CEO Albrecht Rosenauer. After intensive development for three solid years the company released a new line of highly unique and revolutionary sunglasses called the Carrera Porsche Design Collection designed by Ferdinand Alexander which proved extremely popular and successful indeed.
The success story continued into the 80’s and seen the company launching its first range of frames for prescription lenses which were aimed mainly at the sporting end of the market including a range of frames aimed at cyclists launched in 1989.
Carrera products have been worn by many world class sportsmen and women including names such as Herman Mayer (World Cup winner 2000), Max Biaggi (Moto GP racer), Gilberto Simoni (Giro d’Italia winner 2003), Felix Gottwald (gold medal winner Turin Olympic games 2006), Thomas Morgenstern (gold medal winner Turin Olympic games 2006), Anja Paerson (the only athlete to win a gold medal in every ski discipline at the World Championship in 2007) and many more.
More recently Carrera have released the new HAWK glasses with a Carbon Fibre brow bar which guarantees a superb resistance to weight ratio for top cyclists. The innovation in design that Carrera have shown over the years is very apparent in all of its products offering you the customer an innovative, reliable, quality designer product.
