Carrera is a renowned brand specializing in eyewear, including sunglasses and optical glasses. Founded in Austria in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger, the company was inspired by the Carrera Panamericana auto race. In 1964, Anger developed and patented the 'Optyl' material, a heat-hardened plastic that is 20% lighter than acetate, reducing allergic reactions and providing permanent elasticity and dimensional stability. In 1974, the company was renamed Carrera International and established a headquarters in Traun, Austria. It later partnered with automobile designer Ferdinand Alexander to develop the Carrera Porsche Design sunglass collection. In 1996, Carrera was acquired by the Italian eyewear design and production company Safilo Group S.p.A., which is headquartered in Padova, Italy. The brand offers a range of eyewear products, including cases designed to protect and store sunglasses and optical glasses. These cases are available in various styles and materials, such as hard shell, soft shell, and clamshell designs, often featuring the Carrera logo. They are sold through various retailers, including eBay and Etsy, and are designed to provide extra protection for eyewear.
