Our first honest mistake: we spent too long looking for something we already had.
When we started building Eighth Hour, we tested everything: blends, recycled fibres, cottons, linens. Every fabric has its place, and each one taught us something. But for these pieces, we kept coming back to the same answer.
Silk gave us what nothing else could, all at once: drape, softness, strength and breathability, with a quiet refinement that doesn’t need embellishment. It works across climates, ages beautifully, and stays lovely through years of wear with the right care.
Why tell you about the detour? Because you’re a big part of what we’re building, and we’d rather show you the whole journey than just the destination. The time we spent testing wasn’t wasted. It’s why we’re so sure about silk now.
What’s the one piece in your wardrobe you’d never part with, and what’s it made of? Tell us below.
