Almost unused? I'm not sure if I used it or not; my memory is vague. It's a beautiful item. I received it a while ago. I haven't had it authenticated, but based on my experience using only Hermes products until now, I believe it's genuine. However, the tags are missing! Therefore, it can't be authenticated. Because I can't offer guaranteed authentication, I've listed it at a low price. If you are not satisfied with the item upon arrival, please contact me before leaving feedback, and I will accept returns. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The material is a cashmere and silk blend.
