Malbon Women & Lingua Franca, coming soon.
Last night, we gathered some of our favorite fashion friends at the LF Townhouse to host. Thank you to our fab co hosts!
Early voting is now open, New York, and Jack has given so many of us something to believe in again.
District 12 for Jack!!!
Some people call it “collective effervescence,” the electric energy that emerges when people gather around a shared belief. Others have compared it to a religious experience.
Of course it was pure collective joy. But it was something else, too.
Maybe it was a reminder of what it feels like to believe in something good again.
This team is not just talented. They’re resilient. Selfless. Uncommonly likable. They seem to genuinely care about one another, about this city, and about the people cheering them on. Watching them feels like watching the payoff of years of hard work, faith, and perseverance.
In a moment when so much of the world feels fractured, it’s been unexpectedly moving to witness millions of people sharing in the same feeling. The same hope. The same belief.
Whether you’re a Knicks fan or not, we all deserve moments that remind us we’re connected to one another.
Because sometimes it’s worth celebrating the good things while they’re happening.
And right now, New York is having a very good moment.
🧡🏀💙 xo, Rachelle
I grew up watching Murphy Brown, imagining myself living a big city life and taking charge. I have idolized Candice Bergen for as long as I can remember, so you can imagine how excited I was back in 2017 when, unbeknownst to me, she bought and wore our “I Miss Barack” sweater, instantly turning our tiny shop into the place everyone suddenly wanted one from.
We’ve loved seeing her in our cashmere over the years and now officially need to make her something special to ring in this new decade. Thoughts on what we should put on it?
Scroll for some favorite Candice moments, including the incredible vintage Kelly bag she hand-painted for me (last slide). And make sure to check out the new podcast she did for Vogue with her daughter. What a duo!
Lingua Franca started in 2016 as a therapeutic hobby. I stitched to help with my post-partum anxiety after a therapist’s recommendation. I chose a cashmere sweater because I had so many of my mother-in-law’s lying around (she surfed in them to keep warm!). Janet became my day one muse and still lives in all of our packaging and branding. Guys, I had a whole other day job at the time! I posted on this platform and friends started asking for sweaters. From there, a movement grew and so did we.
Stores came, embroidery workshops, from the basement of the jane hotel to our new offices in the garment district, a new flagship on Jane street in the village...So many collaborations, and so many learnings. I am proud that with your support we’ve been able to donate over $1.5 million to organizations over the years. I’ll drop some links in the back end of this post (which you can access at the link in bio) for you to see a comprehensive list and more about our company if you’d like to!
Today, we are still the small company we were and your sweaters are still being stitched by hand by women in nyc on 36th street. Many have been with us from the beginning.
This collab with Kris and Dave brought me back to those early exciting days of connecting with like minded humans who care about their communities and their country. It has been exhilarating seeing all of you here in comments and dms.
I am not a natural on camera like Kris is (I’m trying and learning!), but I am here personally managing this account and reading as many comments as I can get to in between a nutty life of kids work and hopefully some good books.
I’m thrilled to have all of you here in our corner. You keep me sane, you keep me hopeful.
Xo Rachelle (ps more in stories!)
