Product Insights
The Le 31 Striped Pointelle-Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan is a lightweight, open-work knit ideal for mild summer evenings and layering, not for warmth. Priced at $89 CAD (with a seasonal 22% discount to $69.95), it offers 100% reprocessed cotton at conventional cotton prices, avoiding the typical sustainable surcharge. Comparable to a Ralph Lauren pointelle cardigan costing $195, it delivers the same preppy style at one-third the cost, without the premium often associated with recycled materials.
Verified claims
- Warmth
- This lightweight openwork pointelle knit is best for mild summer evenings and light layering; it is not designed for warmth and suits cool summer nights or indoor use.
- Seasonal positioning
- 22% discount to $69.95 marks it as a seasonal update, not clearance.
- Designer value
- A comparable Ralph Lauren short-sleeve polo-collar cardigan at Simons retails for about $195 CAD; this cardigan's regular price is $89 CAD for a similar preppy, textured look.
- Sustainable cost
- 100% reprocessed cotton at conventional cotton prices, no surcharge for sustainability.
- Price parity
- At $89, this recycled cotton cardigan avoids the typical 20-30% sustainable knitwear surcharge.
- Value proposition
- The $89 regular price includes pointelle knitting and 100% recycled cotton without a sustainable-fabric surcharge, aided by the Simons house-brand structure.
- Competitor value
- This cardigan delivers a Ralph Lauren-like preppy, textured look for less than a comparable designer piece, while fast-fashion knit polos around $60 CAD rarely include openwork pointelle or recycled cotton.
- Design origin
- Le 31 is a Simons house brand designed in Canada, which bypasses the typical wholesale markup of third-party labels and helps keep the cardigan's price accessible.

| Striped Pointelle-Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, short-sleeve knit for warm-weather styling: it's made from 100% recycled (reprocessed) cotton in an open pointelle knit that the merchant describes as ultra comfortable, with retro vertical stripes in green, mint, and white, a foldover polo collar, and full-length buttons. It's cut shirt-style at hip length with a straight hem and appears relaxed on the torso as worn on the model, in sizes small through x-large in Patterned Green; note the scraped listing showed Blue only in small, medium, and large, though absence from the data may not reflect actual availability.[1,2,3] | Flat-Ribbed Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve polo-collar cardigan in a relaxed, slightly boxy hip-length cut, made of 100% reprocessed cotton in a flat-ribbed textured knit with gold-tone buttons down the front and a plain back. It can be worn buttoned or open over a tank for layering, and it comes in Black and Blue in medium and large sizes as an exclusive Le 31 by Simons design made in Canada. Note that the fit and hem placement are shown as worn on the model, so sizing and length may vary on you.[4,5,6] | Patterned Openwork Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable short-sleeve layer for warm-weather wear: its openwork knit in a 60% reprocessed cotton blend layers over a t-shirt without bulk, and its standout patterned design and polo collar reportedly draw compliments at summer social events. Note that the openwork creates semi-sheer areas where skin is faintly visible through the fabric. Also be aware that one reviewer reported noticeable shrinkage even with gentle cold-water washing and flat drying, so delicate care such as hand-washing or dry cleaning is advisable.[7,8,9,10] |
