"courage, darling" Classic Cardigan

Our classic cardigan with "courage, darling" embroidered over the heart.

Part of the Lingua Franca x Kris & Dave 2.0 collection, this piece continues a shared commitment to community care and meaningful impact.

20% of proceeds support two Detroit-based organizations: Make Food Not Waste and SWIRC, advancing critical work around food access, sustainability, and legal support for immigrant and refugee communities.

It's what we're known for. Our classic cashmere crewneck is crafted from 100% sustainably sourced cashmere and hand-embroidered by women at our studios in New York City. Each piece is thoughtfully made, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and community.

Produced in a Good Cashmere Standard–certified facility, our cashmere meets rigorous standards for animal welfare, environmental responsibility, and traceability. By sourcing materials close to their origin, we help reduce environmental impact while supporting generations of expert artisans. We are equally committed to ensuring that everyone across our supply chain is paid a fair, living wage, and we take great care to use the most sustainable packaging available.

True to size.
