"grief is love"

Lingua Franca 100% Cashmere. Sustainably sourced and hand-stitched in NYC.

This sweater celebrates Grief is Love, authored by Marisa Renee Lee. Her book reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one—healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment you did when they were alive, perhaps even more. Grief is Love is about making space for the transformation that a significant loss requires. 

$100 from each purchase will be donated to The Loveland Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing opportunity and healing to communities of color, particularly for Black women and girls, via fellowships, residency programs, and more.

For Men's sizing, please order 2 sizes up. For example, Men's S is equivalent to Women's L.  

Care Instructions: Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Do not bleach, lay flat to dry, or dry clean.

All Lingua Franca pieces are hand embroidered once your order is placed. Please allow about 3 weeks for embroidery, plus shipping time (1-5 days).

Because each Lingua Franca sweater is customized to order, making it truly one of a kind, all sales are final and we are unable to accept returns/exchanges. Lingua Franca embroiderers use their best discretion when stitching to ensure each product meets our high standards and unique, well-known style, but this may also result in unique variations in the look, size, and placement of the embroidery.
