Philippa Sweater

Lyla + Luxe is a Canadian knitwear label, led by women and designed in Canada, with a motto that says it plainly: Knit. Wear. Empower.

The sweaters and cardigans are soft, relaxed through the body and femininely tailored, and nearly every piece has a small, playful detail. Crystal buttons, pearl hearts, daisies, cherries, a bow. There are Fair Isle and chunky knits too. The brand is also working toward yarns made from recycled fibres and with production partners who follow ethical practices.

In Canmore, a good sweater does most of the work from October to April, and these have a sense of humour. We’re always pleased to carry a Canadian label. Soft knits, with a bit of whimsy.
