Dark, rich and yet surprisingly soft in appearance. The Eribé Alpine Cardigan Tyrian plays with deep plum and burgundy tones, complemented by lilac, muted green, cream and black. The result is a cardigan that brings colour without feeling overly bold, giving it an effortlessly elegant look.

Around the neckline and shoulders, the traditional Fair Isle knitting comes beautifully into its own. The lighter shades make the deep plum red stand out even more and subtly draw attention towards your face. The patterns also return towards the sleeves and hem, giving the cardigan a rich and carefully finished look from front to back.

The black trims give Tyrian a strong frame and make the deep colours appear even more intense. Pair the cardigan with cream or ecru for a chic contrast, with dark denim for a more relaxed look, or with burgundy and aubergine if you want to stay completely within that rich, warm colour palette.

Buttoned up, the cardigan has a polished, feminine look; worn open over a simple top, it immediately feels more relaxed. That makes it a cardigan you can wear both elegantly and very casually.

The cardigan is made from 96% merino wool and 4% angora wool. The merino wool provides soft warmth and a pleasant feel, while the small amount of angora makes the knit even softer and cosier.

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.

Tyrian is a cardigan for women who love deep colours and refined details. The Fair Isle knitting adds character, while the dark colour palette makes it surprisingly easy to style.

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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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