PLG Lola Zip in Merlot Merlot is a retired color. Please read description of Almost Perfect and Merlot. This color/texture is beautiful but does show imperfections - see photos for black markings. This may not be the texture for you. While it does come with a merlot strap somehow I mixed up straps in my collection and this isn’t the original Lola strap. Smoke free and kept away from pup.
