The refined Eribé Alpine Cardigan Sage is inspired by the timeless beauty of sage – a plant that has symbolised wisdom, purification and calm for centuries. The soft green shade of this cardigan reflects exactly that: serenity with character. Sage is not a loud colour, but a subtle, balanced nuance that radiates confidence and combines effortlessly.

The iconic Alpine Fair Isle pattern around the neckline forms a colourful wreath of lilac, blue and natural tones, as if wildflowers are mingling among fragrant sage leaves. The hem and cuffs repeat this refined interplay, keeping the cardigan beautifully balanced.

Made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool, this cardigan feels exceptionally soft, light and cosy. Merino wool breathes and regulates temperature, while angora wool adds a touch of subtle luxury and velvety softness. The mother-of-pearl buttons provide a delicate shine and ensure an elegant finish.

The colour sage is often associated with harmony and renewal – a shade that brings calm to your wardrobe while adding refined freshness. This is not just a green cardigan, but a timeless piece of knitwear with depth and meaning.

* 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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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.
