Sometimes it is the softer colours that make a cardigan truly special. The Eribé Alpine Cardigan Grace combines light grey with ice blue, cream, taupe and dark grey accents. The result is calm and elegant, yet thanks to the rich Fair Isle knitting, it is anything but ordinary.

Around the neckline and shoulders, the different shades come together beautifully. The cool ice blue gives the grey a fresh lift, while taupe and cream add warmth. The Fair Isle pattern subtly frames your face and makes Grace a cardigan that stands out immediately, even with a very simple outfit.

This understated colour palette also makes the cardigan wonderfully versatile. Wear it with light-wash jeans for a fresh, soft look, with charcoal or dark grey for more depth, or combine it with cream and ecru for an elegant tonal look. Camel and taupe also work beautifully with the warmer nuances in the knit.

The button fastening makes the cardigan even more versatile. Worn buttoned up, Grace looks polished and feminine; worn open over a simple top, it takes on a more relaxed feel. The contrasting patterns on the sleeves and hem ensure that even the smaller details attract attention.

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.

Grace is a cardigan for women who love subtle colours but still want to wear something special. The soft shades make it easy to combine, while the refined Fair Isle knitting ensures your outfit never feels dull.

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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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.
