I used this towel once, washed it, and then stored it in a dark place. There are no noticeable scratches, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. This is a simple towel printed with the Sakura Meets logo. - Design: Features the Sakura Meets logo and a tree silhouette. - Color: Contrasting white and gray. - Style: Simple and stylish towel. Thank you for looking.
