Cherry red gives the Eribé Alpine Cardigan Cherry an instantly bold, feminine look. The deep red base is combined around the neckline and shoulders with midnight blue, light blue, orange, cream and subtle grey tones. Together, they create a lively play of colour that feels expressive while remaining beautifully balanced thanks to the darker blue accents.

The traditional Fair Isle knitting naturally draws attention towards your face. Fine patterned bands continue around the shoulders and return subtly at the sleeves and hem. This gives the cardigan a rich, polished appearance from every angle without making the design feel too busy.

The midnight-blue trims give the cherry red even more impact and make the cardigan surprisingly easy to style. Wear Cherry with denim for a fresh everyday look, with dark blue for a calmer combination, or with cream to bring out the warm red and orange tones. Worn open over a simple white top, the cardigan immediately feels lighter and more relaxed.

The cardigan is made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool. The merino wool gives the knit soft warmth and a pleasant feel, while the small amount of angora adds extra softness and cosiness.

The angora wool is obtained by carefully combing the rabbits by hand. Loose fibres are gently removed from the coat without causing the animal pain. This grooming method also helps prevent tangles and matting and supports the maintenance of a healthy coat.

The Alpine Cardigan Cherry is made for days when you feel like wearing colour without giving up refinement. The red base adds energy to your outfit, while the Fair Isle knitting and contrasting trims create that unmistakable Eribé character.

The story behind the Eribé Alpine Cardigan
When Rosemary Eribé founded her knitwear label in the Scottish Borders in 1986, she dreamed of preserving Scotland’s centuries-old knitting heritage while breathing new life into it. She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.

This is how the Alpine Cardigan was born – a design where tradition and innovation meet. Rosemary gave the classic patterns a fresh look by experimenting with vibrant colour palettes, feminine silhouettes, and a fit tailored to the everyday lives of modern women.

The Alpine is shorter in length, making it lighter and more versatile than traditional long cardigans. It combines the warmth of 100% merino wool with playful colours inspired by Scottish landscapes as well as international influences – from sunny coastlines to vivid mountain hues.

For Rosemary, the Alpine is more than a garment. It is a bridge between generations: a cardigan that honours the artisans who passed down Fair Isle patterns through the centuries, while also being a contemporary fashion piece embraced worldwide.

Today, the Eribé Alpine Cardigan has become an icon – celebrated for its rich colours, durability, and unmistakably Scottish character.
