You can just shake off water from a light rain, as the cushion cover is water repellent.
The cover is easy to keep clean and fresh, as you can take it off and machine-wash it.
The colour stays fresh for longer, as the fabric is highly resistant to fade thanks to the good lightfastness.
The dope-dyeing process reduces consumption of water and dyestuff while improving colour fastness compared to traditional dyeing techniques.
The cushion has a longer life, since it can be turned over and used on both sides.
