If you're not yet aware of Lingua Franca, well come right here, my friends! Rachel Hruska's luxury, celeb-approved, hand-embroidered cashmere sweaters and accessories have blown up certain circles of the internet this year -- the main one being politically-minded, high-end urban shoppers. Of which there are many these days. She just released a limited edition bag with one of our favorite companies, MZ Wallace (Kristen can't live without her MZ bag) and it's lit AF, as my kids would say. The "Give a Damn" Lingua Franca - MZ Wallace bag is gorgeous in its own right, but the best part is that 100% of the proceeds go to She Should Run, the outstanding incubator advancing women and girls (successfully, I might add) in public leadership. Their aim is to get 250,000 women running for office by 2030 (whoa) and this bag should really help. Give a Damn bag from Lingua Franca and MZ Wallace donates 100% of profits to She Should Run. Yes! While the bag sold out before you can say "Kamala Harris," you may be able to find it at one of MZ Wallace's stores listed on the site if you give them a call. Or visit Lingua Franca for more incredible gift options with a decidedly progressive, pro-woman angle. Like, say, the Times Up sweater which donates 100% to the Times Up Legal Fund. My kind of company. Time's Up Lingua Franca Sweater supporting the Time's Up Legal Fund Find the "Give a Damn" Lingua Franca - MZ Wallace bag on the site with more info on where to purchase -- if you can still get one. Be sure to follow them on Instagram @linguafrancanyc for notifications about new releases. And please look into She Should Run no matter what. They're doing great things!
