Ballantyne is a name linked to precious yarns since 1800, a century in which the Scotsman Henry Ballantyne established himself in the trade of tweed and tartan workmanship which began to be known and appreciated even in their softer inclinations.
The fame of the Ballantyne name became increasingly important, reaching incredible notoriety in the 1950s, thanks to the inlay technique and the development of the iconic argyle motif, worn by celebrities and members of the nobility.
