Lyla & Luxe ELLIE Cardigan | Teal Fade Ombré | Eco-Knit | Open Front

Why We Love It

• The teal fade ombré — the colour story that does all the work for you. A gradient that moves from a rich, saturated teal into deeper, moodier tones — the ombré that makes any neutral underneath look like a deliberate choice. Throw it over white, cream, or black and the ELLIE handles the rest. The one piece in the wardrobe that consistently gets comments.
• Eco-knit construction — 75% recycled polyester. Made primarily from recycled fibres, the ELLIE is Lyla & Luxe's most sustainable piece — and one of the softest. The recycled polyester blend has a smooth, fluid drape that's closer to a luxury fabric than a performance one. The 6% wool adds just enough warmth and texture to keep it seasonally versatile.
• Open-front silhouette — the layering piece that works over everything. No buttons, no zip, no decisions. The ELLIE falls open and drapes cleanly over whatever is underneath — a fitted tee, a silk camisole, your favourite blouse. The cardigan that transitions from morning coffee to an evening out without needing to come off.
• Relaxed fit — the silhouette that flatters without trying. The model wears a Small and the fit is deliberately relaxed — generous through the shoulders and body without being oversized. It layers comfortably and hangs cleanly whether worn open or loosely draped.

The Full Story

Lyla & Luxe is a Canadian knitwear brand built around the idea that a great sweater is the foundation of a great wardrobe. The ELLIE is their most elevated piece in this collection — the eco-knit construction, the ombré gradient, and the open-front silhouette all point to a cardigan designed with genuine intention rather than assembled from a formula.

"The cardigan that makes everything else in your wardrobe look more considered. Wear it with the simplest thing you own."

Style It

The teal fade reads as a statement piece — pair it back to simple neutrals underneath to let the gradient land. Works beautifully over a white fitted tee or cream camisole. The length and drape also make it a strong layering piece over straight-leg trousers or midi skirts. Equally at home as a loungewear layer over Georgia Rylan bamboo separates for a complete morning-to-afternoon look.

Good to Know

How does the fit run?
Relaxed through the body and shoulders — the model wears a Small. If you prefer a closer, more fitted cardigan, size down. If you want a generous, wrap-style drape, stay true to size or size up.

Is this warm enough for Canadian winters?
The 6% wool content and recycled polyester blend makes this a mid-weight cardigan — comfortably warm for autumn and spring, and a strong layering piece for winter over a heavier knit or under a coat. For deep winter warmth on its own, the hand-knit HALA or HADLEY styles offer more insulation.

How do I care for it?
Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. The recycled polyester blend maintains its drape and gradient colour best with gentle cold washing — avoid wringing or tumble drying.
