The Green Designs of Lela

Lela Designs was founded in January 2006, after Tina Hofer recognized a need for a fashionable, eco-luxury lifestyle line. This Canadian company utilizes fabrics from organic cotton, bamboo, and PET (recycled, clear pop bottles). However, this green company doesn’t sacrifice style or beauty in its clothing. Lela also donates a portion of each garment to CAMFED International (The Campaign for Female Education) to help further African women’s rights to have an education.

What we love

The Ruby Sleeveless shirt offers feminine lines and refined detailing. It has streamlined pin tucks down the front and a flattering empire cut.

The Christy Capri is a knee-length capri pant with a slim waistband, plenty of pockets, and vertical seams that elongate the body. Beautiful organic cotton sateen weave makes these capris a must have for the course this season. Lela’s shorts and pants have nice, wide belt loops along with an oversized back belt loop that features an elegant embroidered Lela logo.

Golfability

The Ruby Sleeveless shirt is made with a moisture-wicking, naturally antibacterial bamboo material and is a great option to keep you cool and polished on the course.

Details such as tee holders and stylish triple topstitching on the back pockets demonstrate a designer that knows golf.
