CELEBRATE SUMMER LIVING WITH MISIA
A Guide To Outdoor Fabrics
As the days get longer and the evenings grow warmer, our homes naturally begin to expand beyond four walls. Summer is the season of outdoor living—morning coffees in the sun, long lunches under the shade of a pergola and evenings spent by the pool wrapped in that unmistakable golden glow. With this shift comes a renewed focus on one essential element: outdoor fabrics.
Whether you’re styling a coastal terrace, refreshing poolside loungers or creating an indoor–outdoor flow in your living spaces, the right fabrics make all the difference. Unlike traditional textiles, outdoor fabrics are designed to withstand the realities of summer living—sun, water, mildew, abrasion and everyday wear. They deliver beauty, practicality and longevity, ensuring your favourite spaces stay looking and performing their best season after season.
What to Look for When Choosing Outdoor Fabrics
– UV resistance – Prevents fading and fibre breakdown under strong sunlight.
– Water repellency or waterproofing – Helps fabric resist moisture and dry quickly.
– Mildew and mould resistance – Essential for humid climates or areas near water.
– High abrasion ratings – Ideal for heavily used alfresco seating, banquettes or entertaining zones.
– Easy-care performance – Many quality outdoor fabrics are bleach-cleanable and designed for low maintenance.
– Soft, indoor-worthy touch – Modern outdoor textiles now offer the comfort and hand-feel of interior fabric without compromising durability.
Today’s outdoor fabrics effortlessly blur the line between inside and out—bringing texture, comfort and luxury to spaces where we spend our best Summer moments.
Introducing Misia’s 'Embellie' In/Outdoor Collection
This season, Misia invites us to step into the sun-drenched spirit of Saint-Tropez with the new ‘Embellie’ In/Outdoor collection—a celebration of southern light, Mediterranean ease and the art of living beautifully.
Inspired by the iconic Côte d’Azur village, the Embellie collection captures the relaxed sophistication of long afternoons spent poolside, the shimmer of marble terraces and the rhythmic sparkle of the sea. Behind ornate doorways and shaded gardens of palms and ancient cypresses, the villas of Saint-Tropez create a backdrop of quiet luxury—and Misia has distilled this world into fabric.
At the water’s edge, the woven “Or” jacquard echoes the repeating dance of sunlight across a pool. Other designs feel like an artist’s sketch of lazy coastal days, gently rocked by the movement of sailing boats in the harbour. As evening approaches, the warm glow of the Cape Camarat lighthouse becomes part of the story, illuminating every nuance in the collection.
The result is a textile range that is both practical and poetic—inviting you to embrace the outdoors with ease, comfort and undeniable style.
Why Embellie Is Perfect for Summer Living
Misia’s Embellie collection blends the durability of high-performance outdoor textiles with the artistry, tactility and elegance of luxury interior fabrics. With soft hand-feels, refined patterns and colours drawn from Mediterranean horizons, these fabrics transform outdoor zones into true extensions of the home.
From poolside lounges to alfresco dining terraces, sunrooms to covered entertaining spaces, Embellie offers a sophisticated palette designed to withstand the elements while still feeling irresistibly indulgent. As we move into a season of living outdoors, choosing the right textiles ensures your spaces stay beautiful, functional and sun-ready. Outdoor fabrics are an investment in longevity—and Embellie proves just how stunning performance can be.
