This item was purchased in Korea some time ago. (It's been about 5 years, as it was before the pandemic.) It has been stored unopened in a dark place. There appears to be no discoloration or stains. The main body is red, and the top appears white, but is actually cream-colored. When the string is closed, the cream-colored part gathers and bunches up, making it cute. I am also selling a reddish-purple one.
