About Us

We believe in slow fashion that tells a story. Our collections are made responsibly, with a focus on natural materials, sustainable production, and ethical labor. From sweaters and ready-to-wear to custom collaborations and collectible keepsakes, everything we make is meant to last—and to mean something.

Every Lingua Franca sweater is hand-stitched in New York by our team of skilled artisans, using age-old embroidery techniques passed down through generations. No two are alike, and that’s exactly the point. Our words are chosen with intention—meant to spark conversation, celebrate identity, and reflect the world we want to live in.

"Give a Damn" has been a motto for us from the start. From day one we've been passionate about creating a community made up of people who care. Using our platform and our customers' purchasing power to give back in such a meaningful way has been one of the best surprises and pleasures for me personally. To date, Lingua Franca has helped raise over a million dollars for more than 200 charities.

We look forward to continuing this journey of giving back together and are so grateful to have your support!

We also care a lot about what and how we make what we make! We strive to produce the best quality of luxury goods in the most ethical, sustainable and thoughtful way possible. We carefully and rigorously vet every member of our supply chain. We know we can do better and will continue to listen and learn from leaders in our industry.
