As the largest producer of handwoven tartan in Scotland, we are proud to be part of a rich lineage of makers and artisans dedicated to creating exceptional Scottish textiles. Our Heritage Collection has been lovingly handwoven and finished in our Edinburgh Atelier by our team of handweavers. Each piece stands as a heartfelt ode to Scotland’s rich textile heritage, celebrating the artistry and tradition of handweaving. Our artisans at Araminta Campbell do more than handweave each unique piece, they nurture and care for them with deep affection and dedication.
Inspired by the breathtaking hues of nature, our Heritage collection is a testament to Araminta’s passion for the natural beauty of the Scottish landscape. The colours of our tartans are achieved through the ancient art of natural plant dyeing, a process Araminta has mastered over two decades. Araminta carefully extracts hues from plants, then works with a family-run Scottish dye house to perfectly match the British alpaca yarn to her organic shades, creating colours inspired by the landscapes that form beautifully understated palettes. These organic hues imbue our tartans with a timeless beauty, reflecting the harmonious colours of the natural world.
Crafted from a unique blend of 70% British alpaca and 30% rose fibre, our pieces offer exceptional softness and a refined lustre. The rose fibre, similar to silk, adds a distinctive, subtle fleck to each design. We choose British alpaca fiber for our designs because it embodies the values we hold dear: sustainability, durability, and unparalleled luxury. Each fleece is sourced from carefully chosen UK farms where animal welfare is a top priority. Hypoallergenic, insulating, and irresistibly soft, these fibers radiate a beauty that reflects the Scottish landscapes inspiring our designs.
