If you're spending money on something personalised, you want to know it lasts. Here's the honest answer.
Lifespan by Fabric
| Fabric | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Polyester | 3–5 years |
| Cotton | 4–6 years |
| Linen | 6–10 years |
| Silk | 3–5 years |
| Faux Fur | 2–4 years |
| Denim | 5–8 years |
What Affects Lifespan Most
Direct sunlight is the primary enemy of print quality. UV light fades printed fabric — especially in Lagos.
Washing frequency and method — overwashing degrades both fabric and print. Wash covers every 2–3 months, not weekly.
Physical stress — sitting on decorative pillows repeatedly compresses filling and stresses seams.
Humidity — rainy season moisture can affect filling if not aired regularly. Monthly indirect sunlight airing prevents this.
The Print Itself
Our dye sublimation process bonds colour into the fabric fibres rather than sitting on the surface. Unlike iron-on transfers that peel, sublimation prints don't crack, peel, or fade with normal washing.
With proper care: 5+ years of vibrant, clear print quality.
