Craftsmanship

Our MINTA Collection combines Araminta’s unique designs with traditional Scottish manufacturing, using skills and knowledge that are famous around the world for producing premier quality textiles.

The process begins by sourcing undyed British alpaca fleeces from alpaca breeders here in the UK. These are then bespoke spun in their natural grey and white colours, which gives them a gorgeous subtle tone and maintains their silky lustre.

The fabric for the cushions and throws is woven in the Scottish Borders by one of our partner mills, a family run business that has been weaving for over 50 years.

Once the fabric has been woven, it is finished by a specialist finishing house which is also based in the historic textile region of the Scottish Borders. The cushions are then cut and sewn by skilled British craftspeople, and the tassels on our throws are all carefully hand knotted to create a beautiful statement fringe.
