I purchased this from a handmade artist (omocheek). After purchasing, I took it out of the bag and stored it in a case (_ _). It's new and unused! I kept it carefully, waiting for my daughter's hair to grow, but when her hair finally grew, she refused to wear hair ties, so I'm sadly putting it up for sale. Thank you so much to the artist for the wonderful work. I hope it finds a good home with someone who will cherish it.
