Lingua Franca is an NYC-based luxury clothing and accessory brand, whose love of traditional craft, irreverent point of view, and commitment to sustainable and ethical production all inform its evolving line of hand-embroidered cashmere goods (all hand-stitched by women in NYC) and ethically sourced ready to wear. Meaning “common language,” Lingua Franca’s pieces are meant to spark conversation. Their well-known embroidery esthetic and playful use of familiar sayings has gained a loyal following since the brand’s inception in 2016.
