Designed to be worn as a layering piece, Colorado River is a seamless, open front vest, worked top down, from the racer back. The cables, bordered with pretty eyelets, create an eye-catching design at the centre back which divide at the waist to frame a lower back godet of crossed over stitches. The cables and eyelets continue from the back, over the shoulders to follow the gently curved fronts.
