Celebrate the Holiday Season
From stylish soirees to towering holiday trees, the festive season glitters at Riggs Washington DC
Our Holiday Tree
We are thrilled to announce our 2023 Holiday Tree in collaboration with the luxury brand Lingua Franca.
From the compelling and culturally resonant label comes a holiday tree decked out with elements of embroidery and crocheted luxe garlands, all sustainably sourced and hand stitched. The tree is trimmed further with custom hoop ornaments carrying embroidered salient messages.
The Lingua Franca designer tree is a celebration of hand-stitching and craftsmanship. The design incorporates crocheted creations, garlands in playful colors and a sprinkling of embroidery hoops featuring socially relevant statements from leading female figures throughout history. Guests who look closely will also spot Juno Moneta, the Roman goddess and protectress of funds – a nod to our building’s history as the former Riggs National Bank. Topped with a perfectly tied velvet bow, the tree design is highly textured with iridescent crystal balls and glistening lights strung up the tree complemented by a cascading crocheted yarn garland.
