Thank you, Milanya:)
I knew the phrase all-in-one, but what does the "go" actually stand for here? |

Hi Raj,
'Go' used as a noun suggests attempt. It is often used in this expression 'have a go' suggesting try'. In your sentence -This
product is elegant and durable, all in one go, the idea is that 'go' indicates that an attempt has been made to produce something that is both elegant and durable.
