Product Insights
Le 31's Striped Pointelle Knit Shirt is a smart-casual top designed in Canada, made from 100% reprocessed cotton with a soft, slubbed texture. Its knit-in vertical stripes ensure pattern durability and reduce the sheer contrast of the pointelle openwork, making sheerness intentional rather than accidental. The pointelle knit provides natural airflow, making it cooler than closed-weave cotton, and offers natural stretch without elastane. Priced at $69.95 sale (undercutting similar sustainable knits by ~30%), the shirt has a classic fit that accommodates layering over a base layer. However, it requires gentle care (cold wash inside out, lay flat to dry) to prevent pilling and maintain shape, and it is deliberately sheer, designed for layering rather than standalone wear.
