Ahlem Eyewear: Handcrafted Sunglasses and Spectacles

Ahlem Eyewear: Timeless Frames In Unique Colorways

Ahlem Manai-Platt’s passion for eyewear began at the age of 4 when she watched her mother get ready and slip on a pair of sunglasses. From such humble roots, she has gone on to found Ahlem Eyewear, an award-winning brand now synonymous with luxury eyewear.

Ahlem focuses on, as she says, uncompromising attention to detail and quality. Each pair of Ahlem glasses and Ahlem sunglasses is handmade in France through a meticulous production process that involves specialized ateliers and skilled artisans. Acetate temples are raw cut by hand, while metal frames are made via martelé, a hand-hammering technique that creates truly unique pieces. The brand has also developed a revolutionary 5-barrel custom hinge that guarantees exceptional durability.

Every style of Ahlem eyewear is named after and inspired by the architecture or spirit of a Parisian neighborhood, such as Montorgueil or the Pont Mirabeau bridge.
