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...

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.

Dancers use their bodies to communicate their inner world to others. Res/Rei took inspiration from the bodily movements and gestures of dancers and translated that into 5 beautiful designs. They recently presented this new collection, aptly called Dancers…

The Dancers collection consists of five optical frames made from colorful acetate, which is always the preferred material for this Italian brand. In fact, all acetate colors and patterns used by Res/Rei are designed and made in-house making them unique for this brand.

Models Aurora, Bolero, Clara, Giselle and Manon obviously refer with their names to famous ballet characters, but their design also gives a little nod to this form of movement. On all frames, the upper front parts have a three-dimensional band that changes in direction and thickness. Like a ribbon flowing in the air. This band ends on the temples, giving them a two-toned structure.

 

The Dancers frames come both in stronger colors combinations like teal with brown or red with a dark havana and in more subtle hues like transparent lavender with pink.

Remember being young and folding sheets of paper into airplanes, animals, and what not? Theo designer James van Vossel must remember, because his latest design uses the same technique: one sheet of metal, one cut, and one fold. That's all there is to it...

It’s called the Groove and it is the latest addition to the Theo family. What makes the Groove so special and interesting is the fact that this frame is made completely without screws, glue or any other materials. Just one piece of metal that is meticulously cut and then folded to create the temples. Super simple, yet so well executed and in typical Theo colors and shapes.

 

We think the Groove is a beautiful addition to the already big Theo family and it will definitely find its way to Theo fans out there. You can find the rest of the Theo family in our Theo showroom.
