Woven by hand.
Araminta Campbell was founded by Araminta Birse Stewart, born Campbell, who is its founder and creative director. She studied embroidery at Manchester Metropolitan University, began weaving professionally in 2014 and set up the company in 2016.
She grew up in the Aberdeenshire countryside, which shapes her designs. The handwoven collections are made from British alpaca, each piece woven individually on vintage floor looms in the atelier, and scarves, shawls, wraps and throws are finished with hand stitched tassels.
“I am driven to create something so beautiful that someone else would like to own and treasure it.”Araminta Birse Stewart, Founder
The house designs custom tweeds and tartans for hotels, estates, brands and private clients. In 2021 it designed Fortnum and Mason’s first ever tartan, and it created the tartan used at The Fife Arms in Braemar, redesigned the Glen Tanar Estate tweed and developed textiles for the Grand Suites of Belmond’s Royal Scotsman train.
