The Campbell Collection is a cottage industry specializing in cushions, quilts, tablecloths, and fabric for cozy quarters. It’s the brainchild of Emma Campbell, who, after studying textile design at Central Saint Martins and Edinburgh College of Art, set out to create a housewares brand that celebrates the handmade. She enlisted her husband, Tim Campbell, who is the sales director of a software company by day, to serve as the company “business brains.” From the couple’s home base in Bath, England, Emma has her hand in all else, and works with skilled artisans in Jaipur and other parts of India.
“Our mission is to help support the livelihoods of craftspeople in India,” she writes. “We hope to have an ongoing positive social impact, creating employment and helping to preserve traditional craft techniques.” The Campbell Collection’s block-printed and embroidered results are just right for summer retreats, but also at home in a range of settings, as Emma, the in-house stylist, playfully demonstrates. Come see.
