Many of the products sold at Sword and Ivy are designed and handmade by Greg and Kathryn Rutherford. Since they are both fine artists and are able to produce all of their own designs then produce them as screenprinted or dye sublimation products all in-house, Greg and Kathryn can produce unique products, with creative designs at reasonable prices. They print all their individual designs on glass, metal, magnet, ceramic, tiles and textiles producing a range of products from traditional boxes, coffee mugs, mousepads and t-shirts to the more specialized items of purses, scarves, jewelry, umbrellas, printed kites and even custom tiles for installation in home decor products or tile murals for walls, floors or shower surrounds.

Other products sold at both the online shop and showroom are from some of the finest manufacturers and craftsmen in the industry as well as custom craftsmen contracted to create one of a kind pieces.
