Pendleton is diving into new waters with its first-ever very own Pendleton swim and beach collection, launching December 10. Known for its Pacific Northwest aesthetic and iconic patterns, the Oregon-based heritage brand brings its timeless designs to swimwear and beachwear in a vibrant, eco-conscious line for men and women.
This collection includes reversible one-piece swimsuits, breezy maxi dresses, and versatile kimonos for women, alongside trunks with multiple inseam options and unisex hooded rash guards for men. Infused with Pendleton’s signature patterns -- like Century Harding and Fire Legend -- the pieces boast sustainable recycled fibers, SPF sun protection, moisture-wicking properties, and four-way stretch, blending functionality with Pendleton’s distinct color and pattern work.
Available online, in Pendleton stores, and through select retailers, the collection reflects the brand’s deep connection to beach culture, famously tied to its influence on 1960s surf style. This launch marks an exciting step in Pendleton’s legacy, merging heritage with modern swimwear innovation.
