California Life News Room

The Carrera sunglass brand returned to Los Angeles last weekend to showcase its newest collection, the Carrera 6000, at a star-studded event at the Chateau Marmont hotel.

And California Life was invited!

The event featured a Covergirl beauty bar, cocktails by Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum and fun summer beats from world renowned DJs.

But the main attraction was the vintage-inspired, unisex Carrera 6000 sunglass collection.

The collection was named after the 6000° temperature of the sun’s photosphere.

Highlighted by gloss/matte color contrasts, vertical stripes in the sports style-inspired versions or camouflage tones, the glasses are made from Optyl™–an exclusive ultra-lightweight, hypoallergenic material which features a soft-touch effect and is designed not to deform, even at high temperatures.

The sunglasses are available in 12 fashionable colors with a retro feel and distinctive wave temples.

They retail for $129.00 and are available at better retailers nationwide.
