Last week we joined forces with iconic luxury Edinburgh landmark, The Balmoral, to unveil our Heritage collection.

We are thrilled to introduce our new collection, the Heritage collection. Available online, or in our Edinburgh studio, the new limited-edition collection brings together each of our highly regarded collections, encapsulating their ethos, values and practises.

Our collaboration with iconic retailer Fortnum & Mason strengthens as our luxury MINTA collection launches in their flagship store.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of baby Mungo Birse-Stewart.

Heritage is in our DNA; we are proud to tell stories through our textiles whilst creating treasured heirlooms that are passed down through generations. As such, we are delighted to be able to tell the tale of the unique heritage of our own heirlooms, our looms.

Just over two months ago we invited you to join us on our traceability journey providing transparency into the story of our luxury textiles. By following the journey of our cria, Araminta the Alpaca, we are showing you exactly what goes into making our beautiful pieces.

From design to garment, we are pleased to be announcing our new partnership with Scotland’s most prolific bespoke tailor, Stewart Christie.

Six months ago we began our journey alongside Araminta the alpaca, showcasing the journey of our textiles from their first step as a cria (a baby alpaca), through to shearing and on to the use of their fleece. By following Araminta, we hope not only to provide transparency but to also share some alpaca knowledge along the way.

We love tweed. An incredibly versatile material, it has developed from humble origins to become a fabric that is prized by fashion designers, tailors, and even royalty. Combining sketch book and computer, natural colours and specialised machinery, here at Araminta Campbell we aim to stay true to those rural origins whilst developing a contemporary approach to bespoke tweed design and weaving.

In the centre of our Edinburgh studio stand our pride and joy; our two handweaving looms. Both have come to us through other weavers, and while we previously didn’t know their full history, we have recently been contacted by their makers daughter, and we now have their full story to share with you!
