Designed for the woman who wants to keep up with fashion.

The Kazuelle collection has been designed for the woman who wants to keep up with the fashion trends in a sophisticated and stylish way without sacrificing comfort and quality.

She is looking for fine easy to wear fabrics and a wide choice of co-ordinated looks that will take her through her busy day and keep her looking stylish and elegant whatever the occasion demands. Attention to detail is also an important feature of this beautiful collection of designer weekend wear.

The secret of the Kazuelle collection is the myriad of different looks that can be achieved by mixing and matching. Each style has been designed to fully co-ordinate with each other in beautiful fabrics with a strong fashion influence in both style and colour.

At the autumn/winter 2001 designer shows fashion took a refreshing turn towards a sophisticated and glamorous approach to dressing with a renaissance of fine but strong tailoring - the epitome of the Kazuelle collection.

Equestrian themes will be an important trend this autumn as can be seen in Kazuelle's stunning wool mix Donegal tweed jacket with matching trousers in mush-room with brown faux suede trim on the collar, button holes and pocket tops. A cream polyester blouse with patch pockets features brown and mushroom buttons to wear with this beautiful trouser suit or alternatively can be worn with a neat straight calf length skirt with slit front and back with co-ordinating brown trim in a triangle at the top of the slits - perfect for smart occasion dressing.

Like buying a flower in bud rather than in full bloom

Autumn/winter 2001 sees Ballantyne launching into a new era of luxury; capturing a new modernity and the pure essence of cashmere.

The new Ballantyne image comes from a new product direction, new store design, new corporate identity and a stunning new advertising campaign, all creating a strong direction stance in the market place and positioning Ballantyne as a highly aspirational luxury goods brand.

The New Bond Street flagship store captures the mood of Ballantyne - soft, sensuous design classics. Materials used echo the contemporary, warm and inviting personality of the brand combining walnut, stone, glass and suede. Attention to detail will ensure that the hand crafted finish reflects the meticulous hand-finished quality of the product.

All elements of the new Ballantyne have been defined and concentrated on to perfection. Superb updated classics are complemented by new fashion forward pieces and the occasional total indulgence of limited editions.

Enveloping the tactile nature and pure pleasure only premium cashmere can offer the new mood that will re-establish Ballantyne as leaders of modern cashmere.

Delicately washed in the soft pure waters of the River Leithen in Scotland, Ballantyne take care not to over wash, so that garments improve with age - buying cashmere is like buying a flower in bud rather than in full bloom, it will get softer with time.

Each garment undergoes 40 separate hand processes in its manufacture and many quality inspections. Ballantyne's commitment to the highest quality standards will never be compromised.
