about us

For European premium and contemporary fashion brands navigating increasing regulatory complexity

Common Era Design is a production development partner that delivers compliance-ready collections backed by supply chain transparency. Unlike traditional manufacturers who only focus on production or consultants who only provide advice, we integrate quality expertise with compliance data and certified supply chain partners.

We’ve spent years building production expertise that enables your brand to launch with confidence and communicate with proof.

25+ years of textile production experience

We bring over 25 years of textile production experience. This shows up in practice: fewer mistakes, faster turnaround, better quality, Pantone precision.
We’re driven by the principle that what we produce today shapes what’s possible for future generations. That’s why we build long-term relationships, prioritize transparency over perfection, and work only with certified partners and materials.

PRODUCING PREMIUM GARMENTS, DESIGNED TO LAST

Meet Arno Weel
Co-Founder

Years of textile expertise, from retail floors to global supply chains.

Arno Weel brings over 25 years of hands-on experience acros the entire fashion value chain. He started his career in retail, learning retail operations from the ground up. From there, he moved into production and supply chain management, spending more than a decade overseeing European manufacturing, production planning, and factory coordination.

He later expanded his expertise into sourcing, product development, and quality management, refining his technical understanding of garments, materials, certifications, and supplier relationships.

In recent years, he has seen EU legislation become increasingly influential in the textile sector, and uses his knowledge to ensure Common Era Design’s supply chain aligns with the transition that is now essential for all companies.

This combination of retail insight, technical production knowledge, sourcing experience, and regulatory awareness means that Common Era Design approaches every project with a complete perspective.
We know what brands need, how production partners operate, and how to bridge the gap with quality and integrity.
