I purchased this about 8 years ago at L'EST ROSE. The covered buttons are lovely. The color is navy, but it's close to black, so it's a rare shade. Please refer to the photo comparing it to black. It also has a detachable cape that fastens with covered buttons from the back of the neck. It's a very stylish design. I wore it twice, then had it dry-cleaned and have kept it hanging in storage since.
