Burlington, North Carolina, USA
Glen Raven and California-based designer Richard Frinier have collaborated on the new Retweed Collection—the first sustainable line of performance fabrics from Sunbrella.
The new textiles, which contain up to 93% recycled content, won a 2021 Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum.
From timeless patterns to new uses for recycled materials, Sunbrella debuts collections and collaborations that tell the story of what is next in textile design.
These indoor and outdoor fabrics inspire every design style while delivering on the performance expected from Sunbrella, including fade-proof and bleach-cleanable qualities.
With the textural appearance of hand-loomed textiles where no two rolls are alike, Retweed breathes new life into fabric scraps with patterns woven in classic neutral and richly colorful earthen hues.
The appearance of this mid-century modern and vintage tweed-inspired collection is elevated through the use of Sunbrella recycled yarns, which provide flecks and natural color variations.

The perfectly imperfect flecks within Tweeds Midnight symbolize the importance of sustainable living practices.
The familiarity of Houndstooth Mocha reminds one to reimagine the iconic designs.
These introductions honor the comfort and classic elements of design but are also in many ways reflective of the new world in which we are creating spaces
Greg Voorhis, executive design director at Sunbrella
“As we look to the future, we recognize the importance of exploring new meanings of simplicity, livability and fresh environments that ground us.”
“These collections and patterns deliver on these very elements, with new possibilities to create comfortable spaces we can escape in, trust and enjoy for years to come.”
