The alluring fabric of LinenVogue – La Classé is a symphonic harmony of various heterogeneous elements that span from staid classic to the edgy take of new-age appeal. They inspire a sense of reminiscence and reflect upon the transient nature of time in a range of new-age, dynamic and wayward selection of linen this season.”
