AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
There is a direct and little-known link between Carrera and Optyl: it was Wilhelm Anger himself, the Austrian pioneer who in 1956 founded the Carrera brand inspired by the legendary Carrera Panamericana, who patented in 1969 this revolutionary thermosetting resin. The model 5354 is almost an extreme example: an extremely thin and lightweight front, made possible precisely by Optyl's properties, about 20% lighter than traditional acetate, heat resistant and able to keep vivid colors over time, qualities that allowed Carrera to sign some of the most sculptural and astonishing frames in Austrian eyewear in the 1970s–1980s.

Seller's Story
Every pair of glasses, a story.
Our knowledge of the history of eyewear also manifests itself in a strong passion for original vintage eyewear. We search for, restore and distribute historically designed eyewear, models that range from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Our store Punti di Vista Eyewear recovers vintage glasses that have never been used, restores them with the help of skilled artisans, and reintroduces them to the market.
This work represents, for us, a celebration of the eyewear product, the result of great artisanal craft and technological evolution.
