Kari = self confessed Ahlem addict
Everyone at Eyewear on Pako knows that I am totally obsessed with Ahlem. When new Ahlem stock arrives, you will find me trying on every single frame and asking everyone which one I should buy for myself.
Inspired by a lost pair of vintage designer sunglasses, Ahlem Manai-Platt founded the brand in 2014. Ahlem is the embodiment of elegance, simplicity and exceptionalism. Manai-Platt started the brand with the values of craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality over quantity in mind. Each piece is a wearable work of art! So, it’s no surprise that the brand has garnered a loyal following.
I’m always watching to see what celebrities are wearing what. So, I’ve put together a little list!
Starting off strong with Dom Dolla, Australian music producer, wearing Vilette.
Natalie Portman wearing Babylone at the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
Robert Downey Jr wearing Haussmann.
LeBron James wearing Grenelle. James also wears the Rivoli and has his own bespoke frame.
Jennifer Aniston wearing Montorgueil in Murder Mystery 2.
Lewis Hamiliton wearing Quai Branly.
Sandra Oh wearing Pont Des Arts.
My current obsessions are the Rivolli and the Bonaparte, so you might just catch me walking down Pako (or the streets of Paris) thinking I’m a celebrity too!
