La Ligne
We believe in the universal appeal of the stripe—always classic, forever chic. With a nod to its iconic roots, we created La Ligne to give you a few new (and unexpected) ways to wear it. At La Ligne, there is no style bible—we’re inspired by all kinds of self-expression. Using the line as your guide, there’s a sense of freedom when you’re getting dressed. It looks good any way you wear it. We make everyday necessities and the occasional splurge—the kind of clothing we would want to wear. We prize functionality but we also want you to have fun while you’re at it. In other words, if you can’t eat, dance and drink in it, we won’t make it. And while some clothes stay and some go, we want to be the ones that stay awhile. The only thing “fast” about our clothes is how quickly they will arrive at your doorstep.
