Product Insights
Le 31's Embossed Knit Polo ($69 CAD) offers a smart-casual wardrobe staple with a unique, silky-smooth embossed-circle texture that resists pilling and holds shape—but demands hand washing to preserve its structure and the eco-friendly ECOVERO viscose's 50% reduced water and carbon footprint. Blending 50% ECOVERO (EU Ecolabel, biodegrades in 3 months) with polyester/nylon for durable softness, it delivers a lightweight, layerable, summer-ready feel with vivid color retention five deep shades. Exclusive to Simons and designed in Canada, it undercuts competitors like Matinique while upgrading from Le 31's recycled cotton polo, balancing sustainability and tactile luxury with the core tradeoff of care effort.
Verified claims
