The box has discolored and is torn because it was stored for a long time after being used only once. ★ When shipping, I will take it out of the box and ship it in a compact form. I purchased it at Daimaru, and it looks like a ribbon, so I'm not sure if it's silk. The edges are crocheted, and it's a beautiful salmon color. I don't see any snags or stains. ★ I am also selling on other sites, so please be sure to comment before purchasing.
