Balmoral Estate and Castle commissioned Araminta to craft a bespoke tartan that tells the story of the Balmoral Castle and Estate by request of His Majesty the King. Each design element has been embellished with a story that spans centuries; following discussions with Balmoral, it was decided that the new Balmoral tartan would draw its structure from the Hunting Stewart tartan.
Araminta was commissioned to design a bespoke tweed and tartan for The Royal Scotsman, a Belmond train, for use in their indulgent grand suites. In each thread of The Royal Scotsman’s tartan and tweed lies a beautiful reflection of the untouched Scottish landscape and the illustrious journey that passengers embark upon when they board the Belmond train. Join us as we unveil the story behind the bespoke designs.
Araminta was commissioned to design a bespoke tartan to celebrate 50 years of WL Sleigh and the future of the three companies. Every thread in Sleigh’s tartan is a testament to Scotland’s rich heritage, enduring appeal, and timeless elegance. Crafted by skilled hands and inspired by the breathtaking landscapes that define Scotland, each element tells a story of passion, pride, and family legacy.
Crafted exclusively for The Scottish Room at Mount St. Restaurant, Araminta’s tartan designs pay homage to the Jacobite era, where tartan colours were derived from natural plant dyes, each hue a testament to the valued ancient skill. Through meticulous research and artistry, Araminta brings forth three distinct tartans, each with its own narrative and significance within the Scottish Room’s ambiance.
In a seamless collaboration with Red Carnation Hotels, Araminta Campbell embarked on a journey to create five unique tartans, each echoing the essence of the hotel and the personalities intertwined with its story. These bespoke tartans, each a piece of art in its own right, serve as a bridge between the past and the present, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and Scottish craftsmanship.
Having designed the iconic retailers first brand tartan in 2021, we are thrilled to see the wonderful pieces that have been created using this design; from their picnic blankets and pet range, through to their sumptuous scarves, each piece allows you to take Fortnum’s story home with you.
After designing the Fife Arms tartan we produced custom throws, shawls and scarves for them to retail and use throughout the hotel interiors. Woven in Scotland in both lambswool and cashmere.
Restoring a Historic Estate Tweed. Araminta Campbell was commissioned to redesign and manufacture the estates tweed when the family decided they wished to have a tweed that was more in keeping with the landscape and character of the estate.
Recreating the Origins of an Estate Tweed. The unusual Ballogie Estate tweed was created in the 1930s but had been difficult to reproduce using modern yarns. We created custom dyed and spun yarns to create a faithful reproduction of this vintage design.
Custom Furnishings for a Floating Hotel – bespoke bed runners and cushions for Fingal that would tie together the existing colour scheme of the cabins, with the potential to be developed for future branding or retail opportunities.
Custom Tweed for a Saville Row Tailor to take his bespoke offering to the next level. The resulting design is an unusual combination of herringbone and barleycorn weave structures, with a fine overcheck.
