Founded in Los Angeles in 2014, it is a luxury eyewear brand characterized by pure shapes and elegant geometries.
Driven by the courage born from a conversation with friends and the loss of a beloved pair of vintage sunglasses, the Paris-based designer Ahlem Manai-Platt decided to found the luxury eyewear brand AHLEM in 2014 in Los Angeles.
From the designer's initial sketches, a debut collection of nine handmade frames made of vegetable acetate was born, giving birth to this brand.
Going beyond trends and believing in objects of timeless design and superior quality.
Ahlem is synonymous with pure shapes and elegant geometries. Wearing this eyewear means going beyond trend and believing in timeless, superior design objects that are always current.
These glasses are made with the most traditional techniques and uncompromising attention to detail and quality. Each piece is handcrafted in France or Japan in small quantities so that a very high standard of quality can be achieved.
Meticulous attention is devoted to materials: plant-based acetate of the highest quality, naturally non-toxic titanium, 22k gold plating, and recyclable, eco-conscious lenses.
Ahlem has also a special focus on materials: from plant-based acetate, derived from cotton and considered among the best in the world, to naturally non-toxic titanium, 22k gold plating, and recyclable, eco-friendly lenses, the brand's philosophy is to rely on sustainable, Earth-friendly materials for better, longer-lasting products. The production process involves passing the glasses through three ateliers and into the hands of nine skilled artisans with specific skills passed down through generations. This guarantees quality, beauty, and exquisite details in each pair of these eyeglasses.
