Ahlem has introduced its fall/winter 2026 collection, “Echoes of Love,” featuring 17 metal and acetate frames. The collection's acetate styles are crafted from cotton-derived acetate selected for its depth of color, durability, and lightness, with shades ranging from jewel tones to translucent neutrals. Metal styles are electroplated with palladium and finished in 22-karat gold. The collection also introduces a new temple design crafted from nickel-free bronze.
Design details include hand-hammered textures, staircase-inspired temple accents, and beveled cuts in the acetate frames designed to catch and soften light. Geometric elements appear throughout the collection, including Ahlem's signature circles and triangles on the front pins of acetate frames and, new this season, laser-engraved details on the hinges of metal styles.
The Poitou, pictured above, features an acetate silhouette with hexagonal details and 22-karat gold hardware.
The Carpentier features an acetate pilot silhouette with a keyhole bridge and fluid topline.
