ILÉM offers a  line of artisanal infused olive oils

ILÉM was founded by Imran, a Uyghur creative director who left home at 19 alone to come to America and spent the next decade studying and working in the luxury industry in New York. He built the brand from a simple observation: The communities he comes from and many others like them were invisible in markets that claim to value craft, origin, and story. 

ILÉM is his answer. A luxury brand built around overlooked cultures and communities: each edition rooted in a specific origin, sourced directly, produced in limited quantities.
