The New Carrera Sunglasses Collection for Summer 2012
The CARRERA collection of sunglasses and optical frames is produced and distributed by Safilo Group who acquired the Austrian-based Carrera Optyl company in 1996. The brand is named after the trans-Latin American auto race, "La Carrera Panamericana," hence the brand's tag line, "Racing Sunglasses Since 1956." For over 10 years, the brand has provided the optical market with a line of sunglasses and ophthalmic frames featuring memory metals and polarized lenses. Today, the brand also provides a line of contemporary sunglasses based on the brand's original designs from the 70's and 80's.
