Silwa’s production was prolific; between its inception and 2001, the combined market saw approximately 1,800 to 2,000 magazines reach the shelves. The 1990s, in particular, represented the peak of the glossy magazine era. This was when Silwa moved away from the simple booklets of the late 70s to produce high-quality, glossy prints with professional photography and sophisticated layouts.
