The Eribé Westray Cardigan Banff pays tribute to the traditions of Scotland’s northeast. Made from 100% pure Shetland wool, this cardigan embodies warmth, durability, and artisanal quality. Its intricate Fair Isle patterns are inspired by the colours of Banff’s coastline – fresh blues, sandy hues, and warm earthy tones.

The name Banff refers to the historic fishing town on the Moray Firth, renowned for its harbour, golden beaches, and 18th-century architecture. Like the town itself, this cardigan radiates authenticity, timelessness, and a strong connection to nature and history.

The horn buttons highlight its craftsmanship and make the cardigan a true classic. Whether worn with jeans for a relaxed look or styled elegantly over a dress, the Westray Cardigan Banff brings a touch of Scottish coastal heritage to your wardrobe.

The story behind the Eribé Westray
When Rosemary Eribé founded her knitwear label in the Scottish Borders in 1986, she had a clear mission: to preserve Scotland’s rich knitting traditions while leading them into the future.

The Westray Cardigan is perhaps the purest example of this vision. Rosemary drew inspiration from the island community of Westray, one of the northernmost Orkney islands. This remote place represents centuries of knitting heritage: rugged landscapes, warm Shetland wool, and patterns passed down through generations.

With the Westray, Rosemary wanted to pay tribute to that tradition. She chose 100% Shetland wool – strong, warm, and enduring – just as the islanders wore to withstand the harsh winds of the North Sea. The patterns are rich and intricate, a tribute to the Fair Isle technique, but with a modern fit and colours designed for today’s woman.

The horn buttons were deliberately chosen: they emphasise the artisanal spirit and recall a time when clothing was made entirely from natural materials.

For Rosemary, the Westray is not merely fashion, but a bridge between past and future. This cardigan preserves the stories of Scottish communities and shares them with a new audience worldwide. Wearing a Westray means carrying a piece of history and craftsmanship – a true homage to Scotland and its people.
