Ballantyne

Since 1800, the name Ballantyne has been associated with Scotland's finest yarns such as tweed and tartan, which Henry Ballantyne, its founder, began to market even in their lighter variations. Continuing the legacy left by Henry, D.Ballantyne Brothers & Co. Ltd was established in 1921, bringing together the activities of the Ballantyne sons under one name. The brand's reputation saw exponential growth, especially in the 1950s, thanks to the iconic diamond intarsia and argyle knits that were appreciated by celebrities and nobility. In 1967, Queen Elizabeth awarded the company with the Queen's Award for the quality of its cashmere, affirming its position in the luxury knitwear sector. Ballantyne continues to enhance its prestige by perfecting the use of intarsia that has made the brand known worldwide. After over a century of activity, Ballantyne remains rooted in the tradition of Scottish cashmere with a touch of modernity and Italian taste. Since the Italian acquisition, Ballantyne has undergone a strong rebranding with the aim of attracting a modern consumer seeking an excellent product. The quality of the garments and the search for yarns remain central themes for Ballantyne today, honoring the brand's roots while continuing to develop innovative techniques to create a timeless product suitable for any season. A new concept of ultra-soft cashmere, suitable for any need.
