Keep latex cool, dark, and separate. Store your pieces away from sunlight or metal contact. Hanging works great (padded hangers, please!), or folded in black bags. You can also check out our guide, to see how to care for your latex the best way.
Nope — latex doesn’t “wear out” like fabric. It won’t stretch out or shrink by itself. However, poor storage, extreme heat, or overstretching when dressing can weaken the material. It also will weaken after some years and won’t last forever. But treat it with a little respect, and it’ll last a long time.

Big changes might need a discussion (and sometimes an updated quote). We’ll always keep communication open — this is a collaboration, not just a transaction.
It depends on: The complexity of the design The materials required The time and detail involved We’ll discuss everything upfront — no surprises. Reach out with your idea, and we’ll prepare a custom quote just for you. Asking is always free.
We’re so happy to hear that! But no — Once in a Lifetime means exactly that. Those pieces are built around one person, one moment, one story. We don’t recreate them.
