Following the successful unveiling of its eco-friendly “Responsibili-Tees” collection, American outdoor clothing company Patagonia has unveiled its latest capsule collection in memory of the hugely famous, former world surfing champion Rell Sunn. Largely remembered as the “Queen of Makaha,” Patagonia has used Rell Sunn’s favorite 1994 Tirifu patterning and translated it across three different colored shirts.
