Speaking during the launch Suket Dhir said; “It was good to see Raymond come up with ‘VIBEZ’. Our interpretation for it is multi-utilitarian, versatile, cool and trendy. How clothing can change the entire atmosphere around the person wearing it, is well documented. We have played around with the fabrics in a classic SUKETDHIR style. The colours and patterns are such that it expresses the vibe or the mood of the wearer. A collection that is perfect to brighten up a gloomy winter day, and the combination of linens and corduroys to keep the cool breeze out and cool quotient in.” The Vibez Collection is available across different fabrics such as cotton, Linen and various blends, starting at Rs. 850 onwards, per meter, across all fabric blends, and Rs. 1800 onwards for a custom tailored shirt, at all Raymond Shops and partner multi-brand outlets,
