I didn't see any stains. Please check the pictures ^_^ I bought it about a year ago and used it a few times ^_^ It's brown! Hooded (removable) It's a great item that can be used as a cape to keep your baby warm in a baby carrier, or as a lap blanket in a stroller. I have home-cleaned and stored it at home. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing m(__)m
