When you name your eyewear brand after one of the world’s most dangerous car races, the Carrera Panamericana, it’s clear for all that your love for car racing runs deep. But it’s not just sports that influence Carrera. Fashion plays just as big a part...

Carrera was founded in the mid 1950s in Austria. It was then that its founder Wilhelm Anger decided to rename his already existing company ‘Wilhelm Anger Werker’ into Carrera. With this new name the focus of Carrera became similar to the one in sports: pushing boundaries. And that is exactly what this eyewear brand does up to this day.

Combining a passion for design with a passion for innovation, Carrera ended up giving the world some iconic designs. Together with Porsche Design for instance, Carrera was responsible for the first pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses. They were also the first to put their logo in the middle of the front part of the frame. Their aviator styles are unique and are the perfect illustration of what happens when you combine sports with fashion. They do it successfully, proven by all those fashion lovers confidently sporting Carrera frames.

 At NanaWoody&John, we recently added the Carrera showroom to our ever-expanding collection of brands. Have a look and discover the latest collection of glasses and sunglasses by Carrera.

At the end of Winter, all of us can use a little encouragement to get through those last days of cold. At Scotch & Soda they know that, and they decided to give us a little preview of their new collection. And of the Spring sun, for that matter…

 

What better way to get rid of the Winter blues than to close your eyes and imagine those first rays of Spring sun touching your face. You take off your glasses, close your eyes and just soak them in. At Scotch & Soda they couldn’t wait any longer, so they took their newest eyewear collection and flew with it to a warm and sunny place. There, they shot some beautiful images that will definitely get you in the mood for Spring. We can't wait to see what more is to come. For now, some sunny shots to get you in the mood...

 Check out our Scotch & Soda showroom for the current collection of this Amsterdam based brand.

Are you team Bold or team Understated? Either way, Victoria Beckham gives you what you are looking for with the new collection of optical glasses and sunglasses. In true VB style. So lots of big frames, gradient lenses, and subtle but luxurious details.

Victoria Beckham eyewear has never been afraid of going oversized, and this new season it’s no different. It doesn’t really matter what style – navigator, cat-eye, or flat top. The frames are rarely tiny.

 

In this new collection for Spring/Summer 22 we see some big and thick acetate optical frames in black, Havana or a clear caramel. For sunglasses, you can choose an updated take on the Victoria Beckham metal navigators, the statement Flat Top V in some new subtle colors or you can go for this season’s statement design: a bold pair of sunglasses in black, thick acetate. But remember: whatever you choose, you can be sure you will always look sophisticated and glamorous.

For more glasses and sunglasses of this brand, there is always our showroom!

Time for a celebration this week at Max Voor Ogen in Schagen. It’s been exactly five years since Marc and Nancy Brienesse took over the store from Max and Marijke. It marked the beginning of a beautiful adventure…

Marc and Nancy had a vision of what Max Voor Ogen should be and they used these past five years to make that vision a reality together with their team. The store is now unique in its kind in the Schagen area. Something Marc and Nancy are rightly proud of and that makes them enjoy going to work every day. You only have to look at their beautiful selection of brands to understand why. Amongst the selection we see for instance Cazal and Linda Farrow, but also Res/Rei, Lunor, and Etnia Barcelona.

 

Nancy is an optometrist with many years of experience. So you can be certain that at Max Voor Ogen you will not only find the frame that suits you best, but that your eyes will receive all the care they need and deserve.

Congratulations Marc and Nancy and on to the next five years!

An exciting collaboration was announced this week: Web Eyewear is becoming the official partner of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN. Web's logo will be on the team's cars, helmets, and suits, and later in the year a special collection will be released...

When two Italian brands like Alfa Romeo and Web Eyewear join forces, we can only be excited for what is to come. Italians are known for their elegance and impeccable style, so this partnership makes us eager to see what they come up with together. Unfortunately, we have to wait until later this year to get our hands on the collection of sunglasses and optical glasses. So, for now we will have to make do with some nice pictures of the team’s drivers Valtteri Bottas en Guanyu Zhou wearing their Web sunglasses. We’ll keep you posted!
