I wore these once for two hours to the neighborhood Bon Odori festival. They have a cute design with rare red polka dots and a "yagasuri" (arrow feather) pattern on the thong. Are they suitable for people of all ages, from young to middle-aged? They are beautiful, but please judge for yourself based on the photos, as opinions vary. The outer box has some minor stains. Please comment if you need it. Otherwise, the item will be shipped without the box. Please read my profile. I look forward to your purchase if you understand and agree to the terms.
