Welcome to The Campbell Collection. We asked co-founder and designer Emma Campbell to take us on a whistlestop tour of her beautifully photogenic life through the medium of cushions and quilts and gorgeous Indian landscapes.
Bundles of hand embroidered cushions and quilts in the back of a vintage ambassador in Jaipur. What you can't see (or hear) are all the cars enthusiastically beeping at us around a tight bend while we try and get the perfect shot!
It was an incredibly hot day in Jaipur and unluckily the vintage car didn't have AC. We spent the drive up to Jaigarh Fort sweating profusely whilst upholstering the interior of the car with our range of block printed fabrics. These curtains were my favourite!
Our Mukesh cushions perched perfectly atop an arch at Jaigarh Fort. There was a very sheer drop on the other side of the wall so I am incredibly glad that these cushions didn't go flying. I love how the light hits the linen and highlights the contrast piping.
My happy place. I am never happier than being on the ground with the wonderful craftsmen and women that we are privileged to work with in Jaipur. Here I am in the block printing workshop in Sanganer overseeing sampling.
This is Sanjina hand embroidering our Rani Quilt. Layers of hand dyed organic cotton are quilted together using simple cross stitches. Sanjina learned how to sew under the tuition of pattern and sewing master, Lalkishar Ji. She loves it so much she has begun sewing at home and proudly showed us a dress that she had just finished making.
Here she is in all her glory. I love how you can use our Rani Quilt on either side. On the reverse indigo cross stitches stand out against the peachy pink backdrop. Another behind the scenes moment - a storm was brewing and the wind was really picking up! So much so it almost took this quilt with it off of the roof. We don't make things easy for ourselves! But we have a lot of fun and I wouldn't have it anyother way.
We hired the beautiful Quist Treehouse in Herefordshire for a photoshoot closer to home. It had the best little nooks and crannies to style our products in more of a lifestyle setting, rather than in the back of a car! This matchy matchy pink and green combination is really working for me.
Somewhere I'd rather be. This bedroom in the eaves of the Quist, accessed by a rope and ladder has treetop views over the Brinsop Estate. We stayed the night during our photoshoot and I enjoyed waking up to the sun rising over the ancient oaks and firs.
An oldie but a goodie. Tim and I outside our very first pop up shop in Edinburgh in 2021. A few years earlier in 2018 we tied the knot, launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and flew out to India all within the same year. Tim worked tirelessly behind the scenes making the business function and the brand wouldn't be where it is today without his invaluable support. My Dad, Wes, now also works alongside us. We're a family business through and through.
