Welcome to the world of AHLEM, a prestigious eyewear brand that found its roots in the vibrant city of Los Angeles in 2014, thanks to the visionary designer Ahlem Manai-Platt, a native of Paris.
The inception of AHLEM took shape during a lively discussion with friends at a Parisian café, where Ahlem unveiled a sketch from her notebook while discussing aspirations. The enthusiastic response from her peers provided the inspiration she needed. A pivotal moment came shortly afterward when Ahlem lost a cherished pair of vintage sunglasses, propelling her to transform her vision into reality.
From those initial sketches emerged a collection of nine meticulously crafted eyewear frames, each handmade using plant-based acetate. AHLEM burst onto the scene with a distinctive perspective that remains unwavering to this day. With flagship boutiques in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, AHLEM’s commitment to organic shapes and refined geometries transcends fleeting trends. The brand firmly believes that objects of timeless design and exceptional quality are always relevant.
Our dedication to sustainability is reflected in our meticulous sourcing of materials from the most reputable and eco-conscious suppliers in the market. Whether it’s plant-based acetate, naturally non-toxic titanium, or recyclable, eco-friendly lenses, AHLEM is driven by the conviction that products crafted from honest, Earth-friendly ingredients stand the test of time.
At AHLEM, we are unwaveringly committed to delivering exceptional eyewear that embodies pure concepts, authentic materials, and heritage techniques. Our award-winning frames are handcrafted with unparalleled attention to detail and quality in the artisanal traditions of France and Japan. Join us in celebrating the artistry of eyewear with AHLEM, where each pair is a testament to our dedication to timeless design and uncompromising craftsmanship.
