This exquisite vintage cardigan is an authentic Ballantyne Intarsia creation, crafted in Scotland from 100% pure cashmere.
Known worldwide for its luxurious fibers and impeccable craftsmanship, Ballantyne of Scotland has been producing some of the finest knitwear since the 1920s, making this sweater a true heritage piece.
The cardigan features a soft cream base with subtle tonal dot detailing along the front, adding gentle texture and visual interest.
It has a deep V-neckline with a full button-down front, complete with original white buttons, and ribbed trim at the cuffs and hem for a refined finish. Lightweight yet incredibly warm, the fine cashmere fibers create a silky-soft feel against the skin.
The interior labels confirm its authenticity: "This is an Original Ballantyne Intarsia" and "Made in Scotland by Ballantyne expressly for Carson Pirie Scott & Co, Chicago." This exclusive collaboration highlights the sweater’s rarity, as it was tailored specifically for one of Chicago’s most storied department stores.
Perfect for pairing with trousers, skirts, or layering over dresses, this cardigan is a versatile wardrobe staple that embodies understated elegance. Whether worn casually or dressed up, it showcases the enduring beauty and quality of true Scottish cashmere.
