Sword & Plough has been in the making since their founders, sisters Emily and Betsy, were born into a military family. Emily began to think ‘What in my life is often discarded and could be turned into something beautiful with a purposeful mission?” How incredible would it be to repurpose military surplus material into durable and fashionable bags that people could use every day? By incorporating veterans into every stage of the business (from design, to sewing, management, fulfillment, sales, even modeling), they empower veteran employment. Through its branding and outreach, Sword & Plough helps bridge the civil-military divide. The repurposed bags are used as conversation pieces and the company is a platform to strengthen understanding between civilians and the veteran community.
