It does up with two plastic buttons arranged across the top and so just overlaps at the front. The mohair sweater is knit in horizontal rows of vertical stitches. It is made in a violet purple colour with red and light greyish blue ombré patterning along either side, including the upper sleeves. It has a small pocket at either bottom side and is unlined.
