Salsa lives up to its name. The Eribé Alpine Cardigan Salsa combines bold fuchsia with olive green, black, red and warm orange tones, giving it an immediate sense of energy. This is the kind of cardigan that can turn even simple trousers or a skirt into a complete outfit in an instant.

Around the neckline and shoulders, the traditional Fair Isle knitting comes beautifully to life. The darker accents give the fuchsia more depth, while green and orange create an unexpected contrast. The colours also return towards the sleeves and hem, keeping the design rich and beautifully balanced from top to bottom.

The black trims give the cardigan extra strength and stop the brighter colours from feeling too sweet. Wear Salsa with olive green, as shown in the photo, for a bold, natural combination, with black for more contrast, or with dark denim when you want the cardigan to take centre stage. A lipstick or scarf in red or fuchsia makes the colour story even more exciting.

Buttoned up, the cardigan has a polished, feminine look; worn open over a simple top, it feels more relaxed and casual. Precisely because the colour palette is so expressive, the rest of your outfit really does not need to do much.

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

The Alpine Cardigan Salsa is for women who see colour not as a detail, but as part of their style. Lively, warm and full of character — a cardigan to reach for when your outfit is allowed to show a little confidence.

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 She noticed that the famous Fair Isle technique was often seen as outdated and wanted to prove that this heritage could be surprisingly modern and stylish.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