Craftsmanship
Common Hours works with some of the most skilled artisans, makers and suppliers worldwide.
Prints
All Common Hours bespoke prints are designed in-house and developed by a prestigious printing mill in Como, Italy. This mill has realised iconic motifs for several notable luxury houses. Our prints are often placement instead of repeat yardages, ensuring the artworks perfectly wrap around the wearer's body. This process is time-intensive, and our bespoke prints can sometimes take up to 8 days to create.
Hand-embroidery
The first Australian brand to do so, Common Hours has formed an exclusive partnership with renowned hand-embroidery specialists Chanakya in India. This collaboration has allowed us to infuse our garments with Chanakya's tradition, technique, know-how, and modernity, employing craftsmanship usually reserved for global haute couture houses, including Maison Dior.
Knitwear
For a selection of special knitwear pieces, Common Hours has worked with Aurora Luxury Handmade Knitwear in Portugal, renowned specialists for the highest quality yarns and exceptional developments in creativity and innovation. All Aurora Luxury Knitwear pieces developed for Common Hours are entirely knitted by hand using varied threads and special techniques.
