Ever since Wilhelm Anger decided to expand from sports eyewear to luxury sunglasses and overturned the industry with the invention of his ultralight, super durable Optyl, Carrera hasn't stopped wowing us with its unerringly stylish and consistently innovative takes on the latest trends in eyeglasses. The brand's restless mojo is particularly evident in their recent 2024 collection, which introduces some new striking designs while also adding streamlined and reworked versions of already existing models. Putting years of expertise into coming up with eyewear concepts and form factors that are stylish, and luxurious-looking, and durable, and comfortable, and plenty of other 'and's' to add to the equation, Carrera always manages to strike the very nerve of today, all while sticking with the standards of quality it has set decades ago.
These standards haven't come from nowhere either. After all, who knows more about protecting your eyes from sun, glare, and sweat than a person who has designed eyeglasses for the leading racers and cyclists? All of this knowledge has been thoroughly filtered, enriched with daring design ideas, complemented with state-of-the-art technologies, and then Carrera was born as we now know and love it. From your everyday prescription eyeglasses, looking both minimalist and chic, to a perfect pair of shades for an active summer vacation, the brand's latest collection has it all to make sure you promenade through the year 2024 in style.
In its 2024 collection, Carrera spans quite a broad range of styles designed for men and women alike. So whether you are seeking a pair of sunglasses that will make you look like a legendary Formula 1 racer or the hottest social butterfly, chances are high you won't leave the brand's shop without fetching just the right kind of thing. And all of those have Carrera’s signature ultramodern, ultra stylish design touch to turn any summer wardrobe into a sight to behold.
Men’s options in this new line traverse from classic square and hexagonal designs like 4019/S and CARDUC 036/S to daring aviator and shield models exemplified by 1066/S and 4017/S. Meanwhile, fair ladies will be delighted to explore the striking cat-eye likes of 3031/S and graceful rimless 3041/S-style sunnies with their oversized, irregularly shaped lenses. Boasting sleek, aerodynamic outlines, evocative of high-performance sports and racing, showcasing plain black frames with luxurious metal accents in every shade of gold, and flashing bold lens colors varying from fiery hot orange to dreamy violet, Carrera’s latest eyewear walks the thin line between defiance and refinement. Minor details like unusual bridge curves, vintage fixtures, and contrastingly colored temples make each and every piece of eyewear even more distinctive, bringing up in your head the dazzling silhouettes and vibrant palettes of all those top-tier racing cars and speedy motorbikes you may have dreamed of riding (or ridden even) back in the day.
Optical glasses follow suit, ranging from gracefully airy, almost weightless designs like 8906 and CARDUC 039 to audacious statements such as 3032 and 1137. Whether light and ethereal or eye-catching and rule-bending, Carrera’s latest frames capture the whole vibe of dynamic movement and daring modernity. You don’t have to be a celebrated star of the world’s best racing tracks to benefit from the brand’s newest eyewear—you just need to have an eye for style and an appreciation for quality. As well as the desire to stun with your look wherever you go and whatever kind of car you take to get there.
Yes, Carrera offers a maximum level of protection from the harmful sunlight with its innovative polarization technology. Each pair of sunglasses you can see in their latest collection perfectly guards your eyes not only from short-length but also from long-length waves of ultraviolet.
Carrera has its headquarters located in Italy, but the company’s production facilities are based in different countries. Not so long ago, the brand moved part of its production to China, while certain elements of their eyewear are made in Germany.
