Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion | | Dutch term or phrase: oerdegelijk | Website of a company that makes removable sofa covers. Here they're describing one of the various fabrics available.
Oerdegelijk en stijlvol! Een klavertjevier: een stof die sierlijk, zacht, zeer duurzaam en bijzonder onderhoudsvriendelijk is. De combinatie van materiaal en structuur zorgen voor een rijke uitstraling.
Having rejected Van Dale's extremely solid/reliable; old-fashioned as inappropriate, does this convey the idea of 'robust'? Problem there is that I've seen products described as both oerdegelijk AND robuust on the web :-( |

| | hard-wearing | Explanation:
A hard-wearing, but attractive sofa cover.
E.g.:
-> "There's also a wide selection of hard wearing but attractive fabrics, in anything from denim to chenille, faux leather or suede. Many modern sofa and chair covers are fully machine washable, so it's not difficult to keep then clean."

| Grading comment Ah yes, should have realised they were using yet another variation on slijtvast & duurzaam, which litter the text. Thanks, everyone.
