La Lune Fabrics
fast drying, and resistant to mildew. Sunbrella is not dyed in the conventional sense - highly UV-resistant pigments are mixed in before it even becomes a fiber; the fiber is then spun into yarn and woven into fabric. This solution-dyed process makes Sunbrella fabrics fade resistant, bleach-cleanable, perfect for all indoor and outdoor applications –and beautiful on La Lune furniture!
- Prices for all seating include your choice of one of our twenty (20) La Lune Collection indoor/outdoor fabrics above or in the Customer’s Own Material (COM).
- In ordinary fabrics, dyes are added to the surface of the yarn or fabric. The color only penetrates the outer layer and washes out or fades away over time. The color in La Lune yarn-dyed fabrics penetrates all the way to the core, ensuring years of vibrant color and performance.
- The color-to-the-core process makes our fabrics easy to clean. Most spills can be removed with mild soapy water and a soft bristle brush. For really tough stains, you can resort to cleaning with bleach.

La Lune fabrics air-dry very quickly. Machine drying is not necessary. If fabric has some wrinkling, use an iron, if necessary, but only on the synthetic setting. As some irons exceed the recommended temperature on the synthetic setting, test a small inconspicuous area before ironing entire piece. DO NOT use a steamer or iron set to steam setting.
