Scotland’s changing landscapes are the foundation of any Araminta Birse-Stewart’s creation. In her atelier – a melee of mood boards, ornamental bird’s nests and yarns of wool – the designer shares stories of the auburn mountains, snowy white peaks and flowing rivers that she drew inspiration from to develop her unique Grand Suites tweeds and tartans. Preserving the beauty of Scottish heritage, Araminta creates a world where the majestic outdoors and refined interiors are constantly in dialogue.
