This item has been in our collection for many years because of its quality and performance. It is made of 100% acrylic material and has 4 matched buttons. It does not shed, however we do recommend that you do wash it inside out for the product to last even longer. Our cardigan is guarantee of easy care, wash and wear, and durable. By customer demand, Cololine has implemented a new part to our cardigan and sweater tops. Now you can find a special tag in which you can put your child`s name and number so that if you misplace it, it could be found and returned to your child.
