For when your wardrobe needs something that just makes you happy to put on. The Lyla & Luxe Lexi is a hand-knit, open-front black cardigan with red cherry embroidery throughout — chunky, relaxed, and unapologetically playful. The kind of piece that people stop you about. The kind that makes getting dressed feel like it was worth doing. The cherries are the whole point — embroidered in vibrant red across a black chunky knit, they hit the very specific visual note of whimsical without being juvenile, nostalgic without being costume-y. The open-front design means you can throw it over anything from a slip dress to pyjamas and have it land right, and the hand-knit construction gives it the kind of texture and depth that makes you want to touch it before you've even decided to buy it. There are cardigans that work. And then there are cardigans that work and make you smile every time you see them. The Lexi is the second kind. About Lyla & Luxe Lyla & Luxe is a Canadian knitwear brand making cardigans and sweaters that live at the intersection of comfort and intention — pieces that feel like loungewear but look like you made a decision. The Lexi is the brand's personality piece: hand-knit, hand-embroidered details, and zero apology for being the most fun thing in the room.

The Lexi has a generous, cosy silhouette — true to size gives a relaxed fit, sizing up gives an oversized drape. Either works beautifully. Good to Know How prominent is the cherry embroidery — is it all over or subtle? It's genuinely throughout — scattered clusters of red cherries across the black knit at a scale that reads clearly from a few feet away. This is not a subtle accent detail. The cherries are the reason you buy the Lexi, and they deliver. In the best possible way. Is this too playful to wear out, or does it work beyond the couch? It absolutely works out. The black base keeps it grounded, and the chunky hand-knit construction reads as quality at a glance. Wear it over a black slip dress, white tee and jeans, or pyjamas at home — the Lexi has range. The cherries make it interesting, the black makes it wearable, and the hand-knit makes it feel considered. Is this a good gift? One of the best in the Lyla & Luxe collection. The cherry embroidery makes it immediately giftable — it's the kind of piece that looks like you knew exactly what you were doing when you chose it, which you did. Works beautifully for birthdays, the holidays, or anyone who appreciates knitwear with a personality. How does it wash? Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Hand-knit with embroidery benefits from extra-gentle care — turn inside out when washing to protect the cherry embroidery, and never wring. The embroidery holds its vibrancy well with cold water washing.
