The Eribé Westray Cardigan Portree is a true masterpiece of Scottish craftsmanship. Made from 100% pure Shetland wool, this cardigan offers warmth, durability, and timeless character. Traditional Fair Isle patterns are beautifully combined with rich earthy shades – warm browns, deep greens, and golden tones.

Authentic horn buttons add an artisanal touch. The name Portree refers to the charming capital of the Isle of Skye, famous for its colourful harbour houses and stunning natural surroundings. Just like the town itself, this cardigan radiates authenticity, a love of nature, and timeless beauty.

The Westray Cardigan Portree can be worn casually with jeans and boots or styled elegantly over a dress. A lasting classic that brings the spirit of Scotland into 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.
