Here is an excerpt from Jen Murphy’s article:
“In an era of fast fashion, Scotland’s centuries-old weaving tradition has struggled to survive, but at a new atelier on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Araminta Birse-Stewart is preserving her country’s craft through timeless textiles that celebrate both heritage and landscape.
Birse-Stewart launched her now renowned brand, Araminta Campbell, in 2016. Specialising in custom designs, she weaves personalized stories into bespoke tartans and tweeds for clients ranging from Fortnum & Mason to luxury resorts. She’s even installed Araminta Campbell fabrics inside custom Land Rovers.
In November, she debuted her flagship atelier in a restored 19th Century baronial castle, where by appointment guests can now shop a showroom curated with one-off designs and limited editions while sipping cocktails crafted with spirits from boutique Scottish distillers like Nc’Nean and Eight Lands. They can also watch her team of artisans bring their fabrics to life on vintage George Wood looms (considered to be the world’s finest).”
