CARRERA’s history dates back to 1956, when Austrian sports eyewear maker Wilhelm Anger founded the brand which was destined to become a byword for style and design as well as quality and technical innovation. The brand’s name was taken from the legendary “Carrera Panamericana”, one of the most famous road races in Latin America in the 1950s. From then on, the brand’s passion for cars and its racing spirit became embedded in its DNA and Carrera, as a division of the Wilhelm Anger Werker company, started producing motorcycle goggles and ski masks. CARRERA invented and patented Optyl, a revolutionary material that was 100% hypoallergenic, 30% lighter than traditional acetate and featured an amazing memory effect ensuring elasticity and comfort. In 1996 CARRERA joined the Safilo Group: this new collaboration boosted the products’ potential in terms of style and innovation and made the brand even more successful internationally. Today the CARRERA brand represents a dynamic lifestyle, evokes emotions, and features cutting-edge design and technical innovation. Many international celebrities have worn CARRERA glasses over the past years: big names in sports history, such as Niki Lauda, and Jenson Button as well as present-day music and Hollywood stars (Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, Halle Berry, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Justin Timberlake and Kanye West).

Polaroid Eyewear pioneers polarized lens technology and is a worldwide leader in eye-care and optics. The name Polaroid refers to the invention that changed the world of technology and optics - especially the polarized lenses. It was 1929 when the scientist Edwin Land invented the first synthetic polarizing filter, a breakthrough invention that is still the basis of all polarized eyewear, photo lenses and screens manufactured today. Since then Polaroid continues to research into technology and design, evolving its great expertise to achieve even better results in terms of eye protection, clarity of vision and wearable comfort. By becoming a part of Safilo, Polaroid embodies the opportunity to increase the offer of polarized products, whilst strengthening the Safilo Group, in a business area which is the single fastest growing trend in the market producing constant double digit growth in each and every country. Polaroid’s polarized lenses will be further developed and constantly improved in order to become not only a component of Polaroid sunglasses but they will also become an integrated supplier of lenses for other brands in the Safilo portfolio, including diffusion and fashion brands. Every pair of sunglasses features premium Polaroid UltraSight™ polarized lenses to ensure perfect vision, high protection and comfort at its best. Polaroid covers different product categories with different price ranges: polarized sunglasses, children’s sunglasses, clip-ons, sun covers, premium 3D glasses and also optical frames (selected countries only).
