BALLANTYNE

Ballantyne is a name linked to precious yarns since 1800, a century in which the Scottish Henry Ballantyne imposed himself in the tweed trade and tartan processing that began to be known and appreciated even in their softest inclinations. The birth of D. Ballantyne Brothers &Co.Ltd took place in 1921, when the parallel activities carried out by the sons of that first founder united under a single name. The fame of the name Ballantyne became increasingly important, reaching an incredible notoriety in the fifties, thanks to the inlay technique and the development of the iconic argyle motif, worn by celebrities and members of the nobility. Over time, the use of the inlay technique was increasingly strengthened, with hand-made knitwear and sophisticated workmanship without equal anywhere in the world, which made the brand an icon of style and quality universally recognized.
