Wilhelm Anger founded Carrera in 1956 with the aim of manufacturing sports eyewear. The frames are made using the Optyl material, which was patented by Anger in 1964. Optyl is a hard and resilient plastic weighting 20% less than acetate. Using this material allows producing a lighter output that gives also less allergic reactions. It also creates the “elasticity effect” for which the frame perfectly adapts to the face of those who wear it. In 1974 the company was renamed as Carrera International. Its headquarter is in Traum, Austria. 1984 Is the year of a new brand new by Carrera, The BOEING COLLECTION, sunglasses of inspired quality and design.
