Carrera x Pat Cummins Collaboration
This year, Carrera teamed up with Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins to launch an exclusive limited-edition collection of sunglasses and eyeglasses. Pat Cummins, known for his strength, precision, and style both on and off the cricket field, embodies the essence of Carrera: confident, resilient, and unafraid to make a statement. His selection in this collaboration reflects his personal style and attention to detail, featuring designs that balance sophistication with sport-inspired elements. With these pieces, fans and eyewear enthusiasts alike can elevate their look while paying homage to one of Australia’s most celebrated sports icons.
Pat has collaborated with Carrera designers in Italy to redesign 6 of his favourite Carrera styles and launch 3 new sunglasses and 3 optical frames. The models are customised with an exclusive new green colour, as well as Pat’s signature printed in gold, and the ‘Pat Cummins Selection’ inscription on the temples, making the products within the collection unique and immediately recognisable.
This collaboration isn’t just about style; it’s about showcasing eyewear that fits effortlessly into the lives of active individuals. Carrera has always aimed to craft pieces that aren’t just accessories but essentials for those who lead bold, dynamic lives – whether they’re on the field, in the office, or out exploring the world.
