The enchanting Eribé Alpine Cardigan Honeysuckle is inspired by honeysuckle – a climbing plant that gracefully winds around walls and pergolas and releases its sweet fragrance in summer. Honeysuckle symbolises connection, softness and natural elegance. This cardigan captures exactly that feeling in colour and character.

The warm tones of soft peach, honeyed orange, fresh green and subtle aqua recall blooming vines in the evening light. The iconic Alpine Fair Isle pattern around the neckline forms a colourful floral garland, while the hem and cuffs repeat this refined interplay of colour. The soft base brings calm and allows the lively accents to shine beautifully.

Made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool, this cardigan feels exceptionally soft, light and cosy. Merino wool regulates temperature and breathes naturally, while angora wool adds a subtle luxury and a velvety touch. The mother-of-pearl buttons provide an elegant, feminine finish with a delicate shine.

Honeysuckle blooms abundantly, yet always refined. Just like this cardigan: a harmonious interplay of colour and comfort, designed to unite warmth, lightness and natural beauty in one timeless piece of knitwear.

* The angora wool comes from angora rabbits that are combed by hand. This painless method prevents the coat from matting and keeps the rabbit healthy.

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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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