LeStage Manufacturing and Marathon Company were established in Massachusetts in 1863 and 1897, respectively, both family owned and operated. In 2016, Marathon Company (still family owned) acquired LeStage, combining a legacy many jewelers can only dream of. They have been continuously manufacturing fine jewelry in the United States for over 150 years and together have long established a reputation for integrity, reliability, quality, and service.
Due to its popularity and classic simplicity, The Cape Cod Jewelry® Collection, particularly its best selling item, the Cape Cod Bracelet®, has recently been the subject of counterfeiting, sold throughout several jewelry shops in and around the New England area. Our team was tasked to give the brand a unique voice, retain and emphasize its equity in the market, and inform customers that if you’re not buying a LeStage product, it simply isn’t the real deal.
Below is a look at one of my concepts for the brand identity, some of which was integrated into the final brand rollout.
