Ahlem is Parisian minimalism at its most refined. Founded in 2014 by Parisian designer Ahlem Manai-Platt, the brand pairs the architecture and light of Paris with the ease of California, where each collection is designed.
Every frame is handcrafted in France by just nine artisans across three ateliers, many carrying on the craft of their parents and grandparents before them. Metal frames are electroplated in 22k gold and fitted with titanium nose pads. Acetate frames are cut from Mazzucchelli, the world’s finest.
