A winter sweater does not have to look wintry at all. The Eribé Alpine Hoody Sweater Amelia proves it with an almost sunny combination of coral orange and clear ice blue. Add pink, lime green, cream and soft grey tones, and you have a sweater that instantly makes you want to wear colour.

Around the neckline and shoulders, the traditional Fair Isle knitting comes beautifully to life. The different shades are worked directly into the knit and form fine, rhythmic bands that frame your face beautifully. Coral orange remains the strong base, while the lighter colours keep the overall look fresh and feminine.

The ice-blue hood makes this version particularly special. The same colour returns at the cuffs, creating an unexpectedly cool contrast with the warm coral orange. This gives the design a playful, contemporary feel without taking away from the refinement of the characteristic Scottish knitwear.

With denim, the sweater has a fresh, relaxed look. Cream or ecru softens the colour palette, while dark blue creates more contrast. And if you really want to embrace the colour, pick up the pink, lime green or ice blue from the Fair Isle knitting in a scarf or coat.

The sweater is made from 100% soft merino wool. The yarn is spun in Yorkshire, a region with a long tradition of producing high-quality wool. The fine merino wool provides natural warmth without feeling heavy and allows the detailed Fair Isle knitting to stand out beautifully.

With its regular fit, the Alpine Hoody Sweater Amelia follows the body without feeling tight or loose. A sweater for women who want warmth in winter but have no intention of giving up colour.

The story behind the Eribé Alpine Sweater
In the misty hills of the Scottish Borders, where sheep wander freely across the fields and the morning light softens to a gentle pink over the valleys, there is a small studio that has thrived on colour, wool, and tradition for nearly forty years. There, surrounded by sketchbooks and yarn shades inspired by the Scottish landscape, works Rosemary Eribé – the woman who introduced the world to the iconic Alpine Sweater.

Rosemary began as a young designer with one simple goal: to let the centuries-old Fair Isle knitting tradition shine again. Not as a museum piece, but as a modern, wearable work of art that would warm people across the globe. She wanted fresh colours, new combinations, playfulness – something that reflects the joyful spirit of Scotland.

On a cold winter’s day, inspired by the sunset over the Isle of Skye, she sketched the first ideas for what would become the Alpine Sweater. She drew lines, created tiny motifs, and placed colours side by side as if painting with wool. The Alpine had to be different: lighter, softer, more refined – and infused with that unmistakable Eribé cheerfulness.

The result was a sweater that feels like a warm hug from Scotland. With Fair Isle patterns dancing across the shoulders and sleeves, a playful colour palette found nowhere else, and a fit that flatters absolutely everyone.
