ISWAS+WILLBE jewelry

ANN-YA features the designs of Anja Verdugo, the sea foam-haired, girl-about-town behind vintage powerhouse Clever Nettle. 

Her new line ANN-YA couples minimalist designs with lush, innovative fabrics like canvas and marbled leather. Produced in small quantities and delicately crafted, each piece feels like a discovery. The Sword + Fern trunk show presents a personalized collection of leather accessories.

Similarly, ISWAS + WILLBE focuses on the fine craftsmanship invested in each design. The line reflects the collaborative journey of husband/wife duo Telle and Rex. Telle represents “ the rustic, nostalgic, worldly, and subtly bold side of things as 'ISWAS.'” and Rex “the calm, minimal, strategic side of things as 'WILLBE.'” This synthesis results in raw, striking pieces that meld the metaphysical and scientific. The designs channel celestial bodies, prehistory, dreams, earth and each piece is imbued with the partnership's intricate, creative energy. -EH

Introducing: Three new lines of organic, herbal, healing gemstone+botanical goodness to the Sword+Fern Apothecary:

Captain Blankenship Organic Fragrances

“Put them on your skin and let them grow”. This mantra encapsulates the delicate, wildcrafted energy behind Captain Blankenship, a line of spellbinding organic fragrance from San Francisco's Jana Blankenship. Scent feels personal, even sentimental, right? We wear it on our skin: on our throats, wrists, over our hearts. This intimate relationship to scent seems to be an essential component in Jana's craft.

Her olfactory powers first surfaced as a child when she began to mix her mother's perfumes. An allergy to synthetic scents coupled with a life spent in the wilds of central California  evolved Captain Blankenship. Mixed with gluten-free organic grape alcohol base and wholly natural & local ingredients, her line offers concoctions like the woodsy, dark Wolf Moon (inspired by the winter moon) and Phosphorescent, a citrus and salt blend that harkens back to warm summer evenings spent by the sea.

Sword + Fern is charmed to exclusively purvey Captain Blankenship in Portland. Come mingle with one (or more) of the six scents and see how the dynamic scents brew with your skin.-EH

WORTS + CUNNING Gemstone+Flower essences

FAT and the MOON Herbal Medicinals

Fat and the Moon is a handcrafted herbal body care business that specializes in small batch organic products. 

Like a witch over a cauldron, founder Rachel Budde experiments with age-old ingredients and recipes passed down from various healing traditions to produce innovative yet simple products that are good for the body and the earth. Started as an alternative to the chemical laden mass-produced body care industry, Fat and the Moon products are based on integrity of ingredients that are altered as little as possible. As a result Fat and the Moon lotions, salves, sprays, scrubs, and muds remain extremely close to their source.

“Fat is really what pulls me into concocting all my products- olive oil, shea butter,cocoa butter, coconut oil are some of my favorite substances on earth; to eat and
to slather. The Moon, well, it speaks for itself. I mean, what isn't influenced by the moon?” -Rachel Budde, herbalist
