The cardigan that makes getting dressed feel like the most joyful and effortless part of the day

There are pieces that spark an immediate and genuine delight the moment you put them on — playful, cozy, and completely their own. The Charlotte™ Elegant Comfort Cardigan is exactly that piece. Charming cat illustrations that create a genuinely standout look full of personality without ever feeling overdone, a soft warm knit that keeps you cozy without weighing you down through every layered comfortable hour of the day, and a button-front closure that lets you wear it open and relaxed or fully fastened depending on your mood and the weather. The kind of cardigan that makes the simplest outfit feel immediately more joyful and completely more like you.

  • Layers Over Everything — A relaxed button-front design that layers effortlessly over tees, tanks, and blouses without adding bulk — open for a breezy afternoon, fastened for a cooler morning, completely effortless either way.
  • Arms Warm and Covered — Long sleeves in a soft warm knit that provide comfortable full arm coverage through cool afternoons, casual brunches, and relaxed weekend strolls without ever feeling heavy or restrictive.
  • Cosy From the First Wear — Soft warm knit with a cozy feel that wraps you in genuine comfort from the very first time you put it on — no breaking in needed, no stiffness, just immediate warmth and ease.
  • Every Size, Every Woman — Available from S through 4XL in warm-toned colours that pair effortlessly with everything already in your wardrobe — so every woman finds her perfect flattering fit without compromise.
  • The Print That Sparks Joy — Charming cat illustrations that give the Charlotte™ a genuinely playful personality — the kind of piece that makes people smile the moment they see it and ask where you found it every single time.

A community built on style and comfort

For thirty-one years, I worked as a hairstylist, and I loved the women I met along the way. I learned that sometimes a small change on the outside can remind a woman of something she has forgotten on the inside — that she is still beautiful, still confident, and still herself.

For years, Bennett and I kept returning to Pawleys Island. We loved the slower pace, the coastal air, and the feeling that life seemed to soften here.

Ten years ago, I knew I was ready for a new chapter. I wanted to create a place for real women — somewhere they could find clothes that felt comfortable, flattering, and beautiful without trying too hard. With Bennett beside me, Bennett & Ellis began.

Now I’m sixty-four, and after ten wonderful years, it’s time for us to begin another chapter. A slower one. More time together, more mornings without a schedule, and more time for all the things we kept saying we would do “one day.”

So Bennett & Ellis is coming to an end, and everything has been reduced to the lowest prices we’ve ever offered.

Every piece was chosen with care, with real women in mind.

If you find something that makes you stop and think, “Oh, I love this…”

Trust that feeling.

That little moment is what Bennett & Ellis was always about.

With love,
Ellis & Bennett
