Ahlem Eyewear is an independent eyewear brand founded by Ahlem Manai-Platt between Paris and Los Angeles. Known for its clean design and artisanal French craftsmanship, it caters to clients who value quality, timeless aesthetics, and ethical production.
Founded in 2014 by Franco-Tunisian fashion consultant Ahlem Manai-Platt, Ahlem Eyewear reflects a personal vision of eyewear. Inspired by Parisian architecture and modernist design, the brand balances geometric precision with handcrafted finesse. Its identity blends discreet elegance with exceptional craftsmanship, avoiding superfluous ornamentation.
Ahlem frames are made from Italian Mazzucchelli acetate or Japanese titanium, with hand-finished hinges and detailing. The brand’s style is marked by timeless shapes, minimalist lines, and subtly nuanced color palettes. Signature touches include brushed bevels or 22k gold-plated accents on select metal frames.
The brand offers two core segments: optical frames and sunglasses, along with limited editions and collaborative releases. Collections are named after Parisian districts (e.g., Voltaire, Bastille, Concorde), maintaining consistency in shape, material, and finish while aligning with the brand’s visual language.
All frames are handcrafted in Oyonnax, France, using ethical and sustainable processes. The brand prioritizes low-impact production, traceability, and quality control. Its acetate is bio-based, and partners are selected for their adherence to strict social and environmental standards. Each frame goes through over 30 production steps, including hand-polishing and laser engraving.
Ahlem collections are available through the official website, flagship boutiques in Los Angeles and Paris, and a selective network of premium opticians and concept stores worldwide. The brand also offers personalized virtual styling consultations for remote purchases.
Ahlem Eyewear operates in the premium-artisanal segment, blending French craftsmanship, Franco-Californian identity, and selective distribution. It appeals to customers who value understated elegance, artisanal quality, and ethical values.
