MAKING IT BETTER
REFRAMED
We spend a lot of time thinking about the lifespan of our products, which includes where they end up. AHLEM’s heirloom frames are built to last a lifetime, but if you’re thinking of swapping out an older pair, we have a proposal to make.
Our ReFramed program restores your used AHLEM products into entirely new and unique pieces for resale, diverting waste from the landfill and creating objects of functional beauty. ReFramed relies on our collective action: You donate your old frames, and we’ll donate our materials and expertise. In return for your generosity, you’ll receive a credit toward a future AHLEM purchase.
Follow the steps below to learn how it works.
1. RETURN
To get started, request to return your used AHLEM frames and we’ll provide you with a complimentary shipping label.
2. REWARD
We’ll evaluate the frames and provide you with a credit toward a future AHLEM purchase. Credit is offered in three tiers according to condition: Excellent, Good, Fair.
3.RESTORE
AHLEM will refurbish each frame with special treatment and care to return it to its original condition
4. RECREATE
After restoration, we customize each frame into a one-of-a-kind heirloom, using unique lens hues to create rare and original new pieces.
5. REDISTRIBUTE
The new frames are available for purchase on our site, with all proceeds benefiting New Eyes.
6. REVERBERATE
By returning your used AHLEM frames for repurposing, you actively contribute to making the world a better place.
7. REJOICE
Congratulations! By participating in our ReFramed program, you are working toward meaningful change and true sustainability. We can’t do it without you.
