AHLEM is a luxury eyewear brand founded in 2014 by Paris-born designer Ahlem Manai-Platt. The company emphasizes meticulous craftsmanship, the use of high-quality materials, and sustainable production methods, with design informed by arts and culture and Bauhaus-inspired principles. Its eyewear is produced through a multi-stage process that moves between three specialized ateliers and nine artisans, each skilled in a traditional craft. Based in Playa Del Rey, California, AHLEM operates a flagship boutique on Venice Beach and maintains sister stores in New York City, San Francisco, and Paris. In 2023, the brand partnered with Vogue to create a custom sunglass frame.
