Aki Higashihara's Brand 2021SS wire-inserted Water-repellent, so it can be used at the pool or beach for sun protection. This item has only been tried on, but due to improper storage, one of the wires is broken (see photos 4 and 5), and there was a small stain, so I hand-washed it. As a result, the area that got wet has slightly changed color. I think it's at a level that you wouldn't notice unless you were told (see photos 6 and 7). The color may even out if you wash it. As you can see in photos 1 and 2, it's barely noticeable. There isn't much of a difference when wearing it, but this is subjective, so if you don't mind the small details, how about it? If the wire bothers you, and you are good at sewing, you can remove the wire from the seam, and it will become a wire-free item like the ones from other seasons. I hope you will consider it. I will fold it lightly for shipping. I am selling it at a low price, so please purchase it only if you agree with the above. Please refrain from price negotiations for this item. Please purchase only if you are happy with this price. Mother MOTHER Aki Higashihara
