Grey boring? The Eribé Alpine Cardigan Charm proves exactly the opposite. The soft grey base allows cobalt blue, light blue, coral, cream and fresh yellow-green to stand out beautifully. The result is a cardigan that feels cheerful and colourful, yet remains surprisingly easy to wear thanks to its calm base colour.

Traditional Fair Isle knitting takes centre stage around the neckline and shoulders. The fine bands of colour beautifully frame your face and give the cardigan that rich, unmistakable Eribé character. The bright colours also return towards the sleeves and hem, keeping the design beautifully balanced from front to back.

The cobalt-blue trims give the cardigan an extra lift. Wear it buttoned up with simple trousers for a polished, feminine look, or leave it open over a white or light blue top for something more relaxed. With denim, Charm feels fresh and effortless, while navy or charcoal makes the brighter colours stand out even more.

The cardigan is made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool. Merino wool gives the knit soft warmth and a pleasant feel, while the small amount of angora adds even more softness and cosiness.

The angora wool is obtained by carefully combing the rabbits by hand. Loose fibres are gently removed from the coat without causing the animal pain. This grooming method also helps prevent tangles and matting and supports the maintenance of a healthy coat.

Charm is the kind of cardigan that instantly gives even the simplest jeans more character. The grey base keeps it refined; the colourful Fair Isle design adds exactly the cheerful individuality that will make you want to wear it again and again.

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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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