The poetic Eribé Alpine Cardigan Dove proves that grey is anything but boring. This dove-grey shade is inspired by the soft plumage of a pigeon in the morning light – subtle, lively and full of nuance. It is a colour that brings calm, yet shows character at the same time. An elegant base that combines effortlessly and still stands out through its refined depth.

Around the neck, the iconic Alpine Fair Isle pattern shines like a colourful wreath. Soft lilac, blue and natural tones dance together harmoniously and give the cardigan an artistic appearance. The lower edge and cuffs repeat this refined play, keeping the whole beautifully balanced.

Made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool, this cardigan feels exceptionally soft, light and cosy. Merino wool breathes and regulates the temperature, while angora wool adds a subtle luxury and a velvety touch. The mother-of-pearl buttons provide a delicate shine and make the cardigan feminine and stylishly finished.

This is not an ordinary grey cardigan, but a timeless piece of knitwear with soul. A warm embrace for fresh days, a stylish layer for every season – and a tribute to the quiet beauty of dove grey.

* The angora wool comes from angora rabbits that are combed by hand. This painless method prevents the coat from matting and keeps the rabbit healthy.

The story behind the Eribé Alpine Cardigan
When Rosemary Eribé founded her knitwear label in the Scottish Borders in 1986, she dreamed of preserving Scotland’s centuries-old knitting heritage while breathing new life into it. She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.

This is how the Alpine Cardigan was born – a design where tradition and innovation meet. Rosemary gave the classic patterns a fresh look by experimenting with vibrant colour palettes, feminine silhouettes, and a fit tailored to the everyday lives of modern women.

The Alpine is shorter in length, making it lighter and more versatile than traditional long cardigans. It combines the warmth of 100% merino wool with playful colours inspired by Scottish landscapes as well as international influences – from sunny coastlines to vivid mountain hues.

For Rosemary, the Alpine is more than a garment. It is a bridge between generations: a cardigan that honours the artisans who passed down Fair Isle patterns through the centuries, while also being a contemporary fashion piece embraced worldwide.

Today, the Eribé Alpine Cardigan has become an icon – celebrated for its rich colours, durability, and unmistakably Scottish character.
