The owners, Nicola & John Sugden, took over the reins in 2015, but their outlook remains reassuringly sympathetic to those who love this “Highland gem” of a store. Maintaining the charming character of the retail store is as important to them as it is to Campbell’s many loyal followers. In an age where in the “rag trade” the all important history and heritage can be easily contrived, Campbell’s has no need or desire to overly hype its provenance.

All Campbell’s bespoke garments are made on site and the Campbell’s name is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Campbell’s tailoring niche is sporting tweeds and Highland dress, tailoring for many sporting estates across the UK, as well as many a Highland reels dance floor.

The wide knitwear range and ready to wear tailored garments are relevant for today’s market, ensuring that despite the vintage interior the store maintains a contemporary outlook. Longevity is paramount to Campbell’s, and ensuring that the business continues to stay relevant is at the forefront of John & Nicola’s thoughts.
