The coloration of the throw is bright red, navy blue, and white plaid with fringe on two sides and clean finished edges on the other two sides. The blanket has it's original woven label with reads, "100% wool, Faribo, fluff-loomed, faribault woolen mmills co" The blanket fits perfect inside of the matching faux leather carrying case (along with a seat cushion!) which has a zipper, carrying handle, and a convenient size for a picnic or travel. The label on the outside of the carrying bag reads, "PAK-A-ROBE, LOOMED BY FARIBO ON MINNESOTA"
