Ahlem Eyewear combines Parisian elegance with artisanal craftsmanship, redefining luxury eyewear through sophisticated modern design.

Founded in 2014 by designer Ahlem Manai-Platt, the brand arose from her passion for timeless eyewear. A pivotal moment occurred when friends admired her glasses sketch at a café, inspiring her to create a brand after losing a vintage pair.

Each pair is handcrafted in France, emphasizing quality and sustainability, influenced by Bauhaus principles of functionality and simplicity.

AHLEM focuses on exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring isn't sacrificed for convenience. Each frame handmade in France in small batches, showcasing artisanal expertise through 3 specialized ateliers & 9 skilled artisans, preserving generations of craft.

CELEBRATE THE IMPERFECTIONS

Ahlem's acetate temples are hand-cut and finished with a matte texture, embracing the natural imperfections that make each pair unique due to the one-of-a-kind slabs and colorways used.

Prioritizing sustainability, Ahlem use plant-based acetate derived from cotton, recognized as one of the finest materials globally.

Our metal frames are crafted using a unique hand-hammered technique, inspired by an ancient Japanese practice and specially developed for AHLEM.

Artisans in France employ the martelé method, a hammering technique that results in frames that are entirely unique.

For added durability and elegance, each metal component is electrodipped in a 22k gold bath, making them age-resistant, anti-corrosive, and protected against oxidation, even when exposed to moisture and high temperatures.

This process fortifies each frame with remarkable stability, beauty, and a fine finish.

Each Ahlem showcases meticulous craftsmanship and sustainable practices, enhancing your look while telling a story of quality and heritage.
