The Eribé Kinross Cardigan Melissa has a light, almost fresh appearance. A soft cream shade forms a calm base for fine bands of light blue, pink, soft green, taupe and bright coral. These small colour accents give the traditional Scottish knitting a surprisingly lively and feminine character.

Melissa is a colourway that fits easily into your wardrobe. Paired with black or dark blue trousers, the lighter shades appear especially clear, while ecru, beige or soft brown create a calm and refined look. The fresh blue in the knitting also stands out beautifully with denim.

Small motifs and bands of colour alternate throughout the cardigan. The striped trims around the round neckline, cuffs and hem frame the design beautifully. The horn buttons add a natural detail and subtly complement the soft earthy tones in the knitting.

The cardigan is knitted from 100% superfine RWS merino lambswool. RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard and sets requirements for sheep welfare and the responsible management of the land on which they are raised. The certified wool is also tracked through the production chain, ensuring attention is paid to the origin of the material.

But the first thing you are likely to notice is just how exceptionally soft this wool feels. The superfine merino lambswool is supple and almost cashmere-like, while still providing the natural warmth of high-quality wool. This makes Melissa wonderful to wear over a fine blouse or top without the cardigan feeling heavy.

An elegant, colourful Eribé cardigan in which soft pastel shades, distinctive coral accents and traditional Scottish craftsmanship are beautifully balanced.

The story behind the Eribé Kinross Cardigan
On the shores of the picturesque Loch Leven, in the heart of the Scottish town of Kinross, Rosemary Eribé, the founder of Eribé, found the inspiration for one of her most beloved designs: the Kinross Cardigan. This region, known for its rich history and breathtaking nature, radiates calm and authenticity – the very values Rosemary wanted to weave into her knitwear.

The Kinross Cardigan was born out of her desire to unite tradition and modernity. The classic Fairisle knitting patternwas reinterpreted by Rosemary to suit the timeless yet contemporary style for which Eribé is renowned. The colours of the surrounding landscape provided the palette: the deep blue of the loch, the soft green of the hills, and the hues of heather and moss.

With a modern cut and luxurious details – such as the finest natural materials and delicately crafted buttons – Rosemary transformed the Kinross Cardigan into more than just a cardigan. It became an icon of craftsmanship, nature, and Scottish pride.

To this day, wearing the Eribé Kinross Cardigan means carrying not only a warm garment, but also a piece of Rosemary Eribé’s passion and vision, interwoven with the beauty of Kinross.
