Lingua Franca is teaming up with Warner Bros. Global Consumer Products in celebration of “Elf,” the beloved New Line Cinema film, with a brand-new collection.
Inspired by Buddy the Elf’s infectious enthusiasm, questionable eating habits and unwavering belief in Christmas magic, the collection features Lingua Franca’s signature embroidered cashmere sweaters alongside cozy knits and playful accessories. Familiar phrases, including “Santa! OMG I know him!”, “Son of a nutcracker” and “Raised by elves,” bring some of the film’s most memorable moments to life.
For Lingua Franca, a brand built around the belief that words have power, the collaboration feels particularly fitting. A single line from a favorite movie can bring back an entire scene, a childhood memory or the person you watch it with every December.
“There are certain films you can watch a hundred times and still laugh at the same lines,” said Rachelle Hruska MacPherson, founder of Lingua Franca. “‘Elf’ is one of those films for me. We’ve always believed in the power of words to connect people, and Buddy’s words are some of the most joyful I can think of. Getting to stitch them onto sweaters felt like a very Lingua Franca way to celebrate the holidays.”
Hand-embroidered in New York City, the very place where Buddy the Elf’s adventure unfolds, the collection brings together Lingua Franca’s signature craftsmanship and the film’s unmistakable sense of humor.
