Product Insights
Le 31's Honeycomb Knit Sweater ($59) delivers a refined, expensive-looking three-dimensional texture that draws compliments in smart-casual and office settings, while the honeycomb knit resists stretching and retains shape. Its micro air pockets provide breathability, insulation, and moisture wicking within 2-3% of virgin polyester, making it seasonally versatile. Made from 65% recycled polyester (repurposing ~10 bottles, using 59% less energy), the knit feels soft and mimics virgin polyester. Buyers report pilling from friction (preventable by washing inside out) and occasional defects like pulled threads, so inspection is advised. Despite these tradeoffs, the sweater is comfortable, gifted, and repurchased, offering high-end aesthetics at a low price.

Not the best quality
A thread on the center front of the sweater was pulled. It's clear that no one did any quality control.

Its a nice piece of clothing. I damaged my last one so I bought 2!
Satisfait!
Tissus confortable et doux au toucher. Par contre, laver à l'envers car les mailles peuvent mousser légèrement au frottement avec d'autres vêtements.
