The striking Eribé Westray Block Sweater Portree captures the energy and charm of Portree, the largest town and lively tourist centre on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Portree sits beautifully on a natural harbour, surrounded by hills and dramatic coastlines. The colourful houses along the quay reflect in the water, creating a vivid scene that attracts visitors from around the world. It is a place where nature, culture and tradition meet – rugged yet romantic.

That versatility is reflected in this sweater. Deep burgundy forms the base, woven together with warm shades of green, ochre and orange in the refined Fair Isle pattern. The rich colour combinations evoke autumn hills, rolling valleys and the glow of evening light above Portree’s harbour. The graphic block design gives the piece a contemporary edge, while the traditional knit remains firmly rooted in Scottish heritage.

Crafted from 100% soft Shetland wool, this sweater offers natural warmth, breathable comfort and lasting durability. The wool feels light yet protects beautifully against fresh coastal winds – exactly what Skye demands.

The Portree is a knit with atmosphere and presence. A tribute to a place where colour, landscape and liveliness come together.

The story behind the Eribé Westray Block Sweater
The Eribé Westray Block Sweater is a tribute to the rugged beauty of the Scottish islands. With its striking colour blocking and bold contrasts, the design captures the power of nature: waves crashing against cliffs, winds sweeping across the heath, and the shifting shades of sea and sky.

Rosemary Eribé, the visionary designer behind the brand, was inspired by the historic Westray sweaters once worn by fishermen and islanders. These garments were more than clothing: they offered protection against the elements and symbolised community and belonging.

Through her modern perspective, Rosemary has reimagined this heritage. The Westray Block Sweater combines traditional Fair Isle knitting techniques with contemporary colour blocking. The result is a dynamic, graphic design that feels both timeless and forward-looking.

This sweater is more than warmth – it tells a story of Scottish tradition, the strength of craftsmanship, and Rosemary Eribé’s creative vision.
