"courage, darling" Mara Crewneck

Crafted from our new “peachskin” fabric, the Mara Crewneck offers a soft, smooth hand feel with a polished finish — designed for effortless, everyday wear without any animal yarn.  A thoughtfully balanced blend of 70% cotton, 10% silk, and 20% recycled nylon creates a breathable, lighter-weight knit that drapes beautifully while maintaining structure.  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. Crafted with intention, all of our cashmere is made at a Good Cashmere Standard–certified facility, and all cotton is responsibly sourced, and supported by BCI standards wherever possible. By sourcing materials close to origin, we reduce environmental impact while supporting generations of expert craftsmanship.(see Kris explore our embroidery studio here). Designed to fit like our Classic Cashmere Crewneck with slightly less stretch. We recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit. Kris wears a size XL. Our model is wearing a size small. Donation calculated as purchase price less direct sweater production costs (materials, labor, and manufacturing).
