As Massachusetts celebrates its 250th anniversary, two of its most iconic homegrown names, Red Jacket Beach Resort and Steele Canvas Basket Corp., are joining forces for a first-of-its-kind summer collaboration. Launching at the flagship Red Jacket Beach property this June, the limited-edition partnership highlights New England craftsmanship, coastal ease, and the growing desire among travelers to take home pieces of their stay.
At the heart of the collaboration is the Steele Canvas x Red Jacket striped tote ($114.95), available starting Monday, June 9, on-site at Red Jacket Beach Resort and at steelecanvas.com. Handcrafted in Massachusetts from durable duck canvas with bold red stripes and a water-resistant Steeletex vinyl bottom, each co-branded tote features a coordinating accessory pouch, blending utility with timeless Cape Cod style.
“Today’s guests are looking for more than a stay - they want meaningful design, local connection, and products that last,” said Gary Thulander, Area Managing Director of Red Jacket Resorts. “With our private beach as the backdrop, this collaboration offers a tangible reflection of what makes summer at Red Jacket so special: classic style, coastal ease, and a sense of place guests can carry home with them.”
One of the resort’s ocean-view Townhouses will serve as the showcase for the collaboration, thoughtfully styled with Steele Canvas pieces that blend seamlessly into the residential setting. This spacious, three-bedroom, two-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and offers sweeping views of Nantucket Sound, a perfect backdrop for a Cape Cod summer. Spread across two floors, the Townhouse features Steele Canvas laundry caddies, storage bins, and organizational accents in key living spaces, offering both function and design continuity. With a fully equipped kitchen, sleeper sofa, and a furnished patio complete with an outdoor grill, the space feels as effortless as it is elevated, inviting guests to settle in with all the comforts of home, reimagined with heritage utility.
All guests of the Red Jacket Resorts this summer will receive a Steele Canvas access to a resort-exclusive discount toward future purchases.
From beachside lounging to boutique-style gifting, the collaboration brings thoughtful touches to the guest journey, blending beach-ready function with New England flair. Both brands, founded in Massachusetts and rooted in regional legacy, share a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making this partnership a timely tribute to the state’s 250th anniversary.
“For over a century, Steele has stood for American-made quality and hard-working design,” said Paul Lordan, Co-Owner of Steele Canvas. “We’re proud to celebrate that legacy with Red Jacket Beach Resort, creating utility pieces that are not only used, but remembered.”
Throughout the summer, guests will find Steele Canvas pieces seamlessly integrated across Red Jacket Beach Resort in ways that are both stylish and functional. Canvas utility trucks will be stationed at towel huts and sports courts, while Steeletex-lined baskets, spa bins, and front desk caddies help organize everyday guest essentials. Red canvas butterfly chairs will be featured in a covered pavilion near the lawn games area, and branded dog bins will be available in designated pet-friendly zones. Signature beach totes and accessories will also be stocked in the resort gift shop.
The Steele Canvas x Red Jacket Beach Resort collaboration will run throughout the summer season, from June through September 2025, with additional lifestyle programming to be announced.
