5 New Performance Fabric Patterns Now Available at United Fabrics 

May 28, 2026

United Fabrics just debuted Casual Classics, their latest Crypton Home® performance fabric collection. Soft chenille fabric designs like a playful houndstooth and two bold stripes that mix and match within the collection’s solids. The color palette feels current without trying too hard. The whole thing hits that sweet spot between relaxed and refined.

RIGBY is our new mid-scale houndstooth featuring both boucle and chenille yarns, creating a cozy yet elevated look. Available in 6 colorways. 

Upholstery Fabric Made for Real Life Messes 

The part that matters for real homes is that these performance fabrics are Crypton, the most trusted upholstery fabric by interior designers. That means stain resistance, spill resistance, and odor resistance are built into the fiber, not sprayed on, not a finish that washes out over time.

When your dog jumps on the chair, or your son’s juice goes sideways on the kitchen banquette, you wipe it up and move on. No panic. No regrets. No worries. (Be sure to check out our roundup of favorite pet friendly sofas upholstered in Crypton.)

Made in the USA at Crypton Mills 

While Crypton has a global footprint, these fabrics are made in the USA. In the foothills of North Carolina, to be exact. We recognized the importance of a local textile mill to lower our carbon footprint and faster lead times.

The mix-and-match potential here is so fun. Get wild with pattern and upholster Rigby – Paprika Sky on a sofa with Ellory – Dusk on throw pillows, or go tone-on-tone with a chair upholstered in Lowel – Pasta paired with Merritt – Wicker pillows. The palette spans warm terracottas, dusty blues, soft greens, and creamy neutrals.
