This is a beautiful 1950s Scottish cashmere cardigan by Ballantyne of Peebles, exclusively created for Selfridges & Co. London.
Made from 100% pure cashmere in a gorgeous soft chartreuse green, a delicate shade somewhere between pale pistachio and muted olive.
Featuring a classic round neckline, lovely mother-of-pearl buttons, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a wide ribbed waistband that creates a beautifully flattering 1950s silhouette.
A timeless piece of Scottish luxury knitwear, wonderfully understated and effortlessly elegant, with the exceptional softness and quality for which vintage Ballantyne cashmere is so highly regarded.
