My partner and I fell in love with and tried to justify financing this designer couch that was going for 50% MSRP, but ultimately decided against it for one reason: we would never be happy again. Our lives would be so involved with maintaining that couch and the second our cats scratched it we would’ve been launched into misery. Still, it’s a beautiful couch and it inspired us to dream about a future where we could enjoy it every day. https://www.nestmodern.com/sale-/peonia-sofa-114%22

would highly recommend going with alcantara if possible, it’s a very durable and easy-to-clean microsuede. can be expensive, but worth it imo.

I hadn’t heard of that fabric! How well does it hold up to cat claws? That’s my biggest compromise for fabric functionality.

oooh that’s a good question. don’t have any feline experience with ours, but it’s worth looking into as a more durable option vs. traditional suedes or velvets. maybe there are particular fabrics that are ideal for cat claws though, I haven’t done the necessary research yet.
