Introduction: The Legacy of Pendleton and Sunbrella - Crafting Elegance for Outdoor Living


In outdoor decor, few names resonate with the legacy and sophistication of Pendleton and Sunbrella. These brands, each a titan in their own right, have created a collection that redefines outdoor luxury. The Pendleton by Sunbrella collection is more than just fabric; it's a statement of style, resilience, and history.

The History of Pendleton - A Tapestry of American Heritage

Pendleton Woolen Mills, with its roots stretching back to 1863, began as the vision of British weaver Thomas Kay. Overcoming challenges like devastating mill fires, Kay's perseverance laid the foundation for a brand synonymous with quality and endurance. Pendleton's story is one of family, innovation, and the blending of cultures. The Bishop family, following Kay's footsteps, not only continued the legacy but also expanded it, introducing vibrant colors and intricate patterns that echoed the spirit of the Native American tribes they traded with.

Sunbrella - The Epitome of Durability and Design
Sunbrella, founded in 1961, started as a solution for the awning industry but quickly became a leader in performance fabrics.

From boat covers to patio furniture, Sunbrella fabrics withstand the elements while maintaining style and comfort.
