Thread: Carrera Safari Sunglasses

Bought a pair today at Nordstrom, I'm fairly happy with the purchase. Although now upon further inspection it says Made In China on one of the legs. Is this bogus? I was under the impressions all Carrera products where Made in Italy.

Most sunglasses are either made in China, Japan or Italy. There is an Italian company called Luxotica that makes and distributes almost every brand name sunglasses. The industry is not as unique as we think it is.

I think as long as it looks good and is comfortable on you, it was a good buy.

I have a pair also, I love them. Very comfortable

I have a few pairs laying around so I just checked and Carreras are Made in China. Rule of thumb, under $150 are all going to be Made in China.

Carrera's are great, they look good and fit nicely. Im a big fan of the original ones from the 80's.

Beyondtherack.com has them on sale right now, 60$ or so!

Thanks for the input gentlemen.

Those are really nice enjoy them, I was in the market for a pair myself.

Go to your usual eye doctor, he should have tons of books with different brand frames. Certain doctors will let you bring frames to them and have the glass cut to fit. Either way head to the doctor first.
