I purchased this item used and used it on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, after which it was stored at home. The color is off-white, close to ivory. The front is fluffy and the back is satin. There are no noticeable scratches or stains on the item itself. Please understand that this is a used item. If the feathers have become creased during storage, taking it out of the box a few days before use will restore its fluffiness. It will be shipped in a box via anonymous delivery. The box has some scratches and stains.
