UKFT member Araminta Campbell launches sustainable luxury collection

Using a highly skilled natural plant dying process, Campbell has meticulously colour matched each of the yarn colours used in her tartan providing an exquisite colour palette that perfectly reflects nature. With an exquisite colour palette the luxury accessories are perfect for both men and women, UKFT said in a press release.

The new limited edition Heritage range brings together each of the brand’s highly regarded collections, encapsulating their sustainable ethos, values, and practises. Offering a hand-woven as well as mill woven line, the collection is an ode to the brand.

With only 12 of each piece being made, the British alpaca line of the Heritage collection has been hand-woven in its Edinburgh studio, each piece taking up to three weeks to make. The limited edition artisan mill woven line, with only 200 of each piece being produced, is crafted from the finest lambswool and mill woven by Scottish artisan weavers.

The Heritage tartan design sees the landscape as the muse; drawing inspiration from Campbell’s childhood and the landscape surrounding her family home in Aberdeenshire, the tartan design beautifully depicts the blue skies seen through the dappled leaves of the beech tree woodland, the release added.

“The launch of this collection is a milestone for the brand, and for luxury textiles. On a brand note, it brings together the very best of our three collections to produce pieces that showcase the quality, craftsmanship, value of our textiles. For luxury textiles I believe it showcases that luxury and sustainability are not independent of one another,” Araminta Campbell, CEO and creative director, explained.

Collaborating with luxury giants such as Fortnum & Mason and The Fife Arms, Braemar, the launch of their Heritage collection sees Araminta Campbell showcasing her exceptional design skill in a brand first for her company.
