The color is a dark burgundy/Merlot color. The swing on this coat is adorable and so chic! Hangs below the waist but is more of a short peacoat than long. Roomy arms allows for winter wooly sweaters and it’s fully lined with silky poly to make it so comfy. There is one button missing at the bottom, see the brown thread in the photo. It’s possible you could take the upper button and replace it. If you purchase it and wish me to move it/see it for you let me know!
