Vintage Carrera 5590 Cherry Blossom Sunglasses – Rare 1980s Iconic Frame
Step into a cinematic legacy with these vintage Carrera 5590 sunglasses, a true collector's piece from the early 1980s. Finished in an unforgettable cherry blossom tone — both the frame and lenses — this model captures the bold aesthetic of its era while delivering rare mechanical ingenuity.
The Carrera 5590 features a distinctive adjustable temple system: a screw mechanism located near the gold Carrera signature allows the arms to extend from 130 mm to 145 mm, offering personalized comfort and secure fit - a detail scarcely seen in modern eyewear.
This particular model is one of the earliest classic Carrera frames, and it has been featured in countless cult films and music videos. A staple among celebrities and stylists, the 5590 represents the perfect fusion of sporty precision and high-style bravado — a direction Carrera embraced after its massive success with the now-iconic 5512 sunglasses, worn by Don Johnson in Miami Vice.
Crafted using Optyl, Carrera’s patented thermoactive material, these frames are 20% lighter than traditional thermoplastics and offer exceptional flexibility and dimensional stability—a revolutionary innovation in eyewear manufacturing introduced in 1964.
Highlights:
Authentic Carrera 5590 frame, made in the 1980s
Cherry blossom frame with matching rose-tinted lenses
Gold Carrera detailing and adjustable temples (130–145 mm)
Made from Optyl – ultra-lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic
Collectible condition – ideal for stylists, collectors, or statement looks
These sunglasses aren’t just accessories — they’re a piece of eyewear history. Whether you’re curating a fashion archive or looking for a standout vintage statement, the Carrera 5590 belongs in your world.
