Approach

Our aim was to create an evocative reinvention of the 'traditional' for domestic and international markets. Combining sustainability, style and innovation with the rich heritage of the Hebridean people, landscape and rare native breeds, the Sword Maclean brand identity stays true to the client’s authentic intentions.
