Ahlem Sunglasses: Artisanal Style Meets Optical Excellence

When it comes to sunglasses that balance iconic design and premium performance, Ahlem frames stand apart. Handcrafted in France with Parisian flair and California spirit, these sunglasses are more than accessories — they’re heirloom-quality pieces thoughtfully engineered for clarity, comfort, and expression. 

At Alberta Eye Care, we curate a select range of Ahlem styles — from lightweight acetate to refined metal silhouettes — each fit in-office by expert opticians and eligible for prescription lenses. Discover sunglass designs that look as good as they protect. 

Whether you’re drawn to bold, artistic frames or understated modern classics, Ahlem’s collection offers a refreshing alternative to mass-market eyewear. These aren’t just sunglasses — they’re a statement of craftsmanship and personal style. 

Ahlem Manai‑Platt founded the eyewear brand in 2014, blending her Parisian heritage with the relaxed creativity of Los Angeles. Drawing on inspirations from iconic Paris neighborhoods and mid-century architecture, her frames reflect both artistry and precision. 

Each pair of Ahlem sunglasses is handcrafted in small batches in Oyonnax, France, passing through three ateliers and nine artisan hands to ensure polished geometry, sculptural detail, and lasting quality. 

This commitment to craftsmanship is what elevates Ahlem above the rest. From the sourcing of materials to the meticulous polishing process, every detail is considered — and it shows in the final product. 

Every pair of Ahlem sunglasses blends style with substance — thoughtful construction meets feel-good wearables: 

• Plant-based acetate sourced from renowned Italian Mazzucchelli for sheen and durability 

• Lightweight titanium and electroplated finishes in 22K gold for elevated refinement 

• Signature details like laser-etched nose pads and hand-engraved temple tips add polished flourish 

These sunglasses aren’t about trends. They’re about timeless style that endures. 

Ahlem eyewear appeals to those who value intentional design, sustainable materials, and craftsmanship you can actually feel. They’re perfect for patients who want something more thoughtful than fast fashion — and who want eyewear that reflects their values as much as their personal aesthetic. 

Ahlem isn’t just about looks — it’s about wearing your vision well. Their lenses provide: 

• 100% UV protection and anti-reflective coatings 

• Options to upgrade with polarized, gradient, or photochromic lenses for versatile light conditions 

• Compatibility with prescription lenses for both sun and everyday frames 

At Alberta Eye Care, our team helps pair each frame with lenses that match your lifestyle, whether you spend time outdoors, commute, or simply want consistent visual clarity. 

And because we handle your prescription in-house, you don’t have to compromise between designer style and visual performance. We’ll make sure your Ahlems look incredible and work just as hard. 

Ahlem’s frame names — like Petit Palais, Le Marais, and Pont Mirabeau — pay homage to Parisian places and artful architecture, reflecting the sculpted yet understated qualities of the designs. 

We consider your face shape, lifestyle, and fashion preferences during styling: 

• Le Marais offers elegant acetate curves and a sculptural tilt for lifted polish 

• Petit Palais is slim and lightweight, ideal for stronger prescriptions or subtle wear 

• Pont des Arts and Rue de Turenne present bold statements in refined acetate frames 

Our optical team takes the time to ensure every pair feels like it was made for you. If you’ve ever felt like designer sunglasses weren’t made with your face shape or vision needs in mind, Ahlem may surprise you — in the best way.

Shopping luxury sunglasses online isn’t the same as buying from a knowledgeable practice that prioritizes fit, function, and care: 

• Authenticity assured — our frames come directly from trusted suppliers 

• In-office fittings to optimize comfort and prescription integration 

• Ongoing service — adjustments, cleanings, and lens upgrades available over time 

We help you choose sunglasses that look beautiful and protect your eyes — with expertise you can count on. 

And because we specialize in optical care first, we understand how to help you make the most of every frame — whether you need sun protection, vision correction, or both. 

If you’re ready for sunglasses that feel intentional, distinctive, and refined, it starts here. Whether you prefer polished metal lines or architectural acetate, Ahlem offers styles that resonate with your lifestyle and eye health needs. 

And if you’re new to the brand, we’re here to walk you through it. You’ll get personalized attention, honest recommendations, and expert support from a team that genuinely cares about your comfort and confidence.
