Carrera Sunglasses was founded in 1956 in Austria by Wilhelm Anger as the sports eyewear inspired by the Carrera Panamericana auto race. Along the years Carrera has become a global reference in its segment, developing the sunglass collection Porsche Design, and sponsoring sport events such as the America’s Cup, the 1988 Winter Olympics, and Formula 1 racing.

The Company’s sunglasses have been featured in many movies, such as Al Pacino in Scarface, Sylvester Stallone in Cobra or actors Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl in Rush. Carrera – synonymous with pioneering design and outstanding quality – is a statement brand since 1956 for people who live by their own rules, continuously defying themselves and proudly approaching life standing out from the crowd.
