Product Insights
The Slub Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan from Le 31, an exclusive Simons house label designed in Canada, is a cropped, button-down cardigan made from 100% recycled cotton slub knit that feels soft and breathable. Its intentionally textured fabric camouflages initial pilling and softens with wear, while the silhouette—which may relax over the course of a day—is restored with a cold machine wash, though the first wash may cause slight shrinkage typical of pure cotton knits. Priced originally at $125 CAD, it offers value at a sale price of $39.95, beating comparable styles from Joe Fresh and Le 31's own cardigan, and serves as a structured top or a cropped layer that creates visual depth and contrast with smooth fabrics.
