La Ligne co-founders Meredith Melling and Valerie Macaulay joined Laura for SALON x LKS Vol. 2 at the Forsyth studio on May 8 and 9, 2019.

The co-founders touched down for their first-ever trip to Saint Louis to introduce the brand and share their experiences and insights as female founders. The conversation covered everything from why stripes and lines, the subway test, Meredith's love of puns, their direct-to-consumer approach, La Bande portrait series, self-care as moms and co-founders, and much more. Guests shopped and sipped rosé with Valerie and Meredith on Wednesday evening and all day Thursday at Forsyth.
