I received this as a gift and have been storing it at home. It has been stored for a long time, but I checked it and found no problems with use. Since it was kept in a dark place, there was no noticeable fading. Please understand that this is a casual inspection, so there may be oversights. Made in Japan is written on it (see photo). It will be folded for shipping. #Valentino Varudini #Backpack Color: Black系 (Black-based) Stains/Tears: None
