Product Insights
Le 31's Patterned Openwork Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan (89 CAD) is a lightweight, breathable summer layer with a mix of openwork patterns, a point collar, and full-length buttons, designed in Canada from 60% recycled cotton blended with nylon and viscose; it layers under blazers and over tees, but shrinks noticeably after cold washing, so buyers must size up or hand wash to preserve fit, though its attractive design earns many compliments.
