After a trip to Italy in the spring I have been obsessed with Carrera sunglasses. I wrote when I got back about how Carrera sunglasses are the absolute hot item in Italy. Every stylish young person in Italy was wearing a pair!
I just discovered a pair of vintage Carrera sunglasses! I am loving all of the vintage styles that are being re-released this summer, so I was really excited to find that Retrosun has a pair of vintage Carrera aviator sunglasses available.

Retrosun Vintage Carrera Sunglasses $365
These sunglasses have a vintage aviator style with gold frames and gray lenses. The gold bridge detail is very distinctive. It’s great to see the contrast between the candy-colored plastic aviators that are popular now and the polished gold vintage frames.
Carrera began as a high-performance sunglasses manufacturer that was known for designing the best in aviation eyewear. These sunglasses are a collectors flight tech edition with a Boeing logo along the temple.
I love vintage!
