This is a heko obi (soft sash) from a yukata set I purchased from Dita last year. The deep green color is beautiful and I think it goes well with any color. Also, it gives a slimming effect, so I highly recommend it. I used it once outside, but since then I have stored it in a dark place at home. It is clean with no noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about storage by a private individual. I will fold it up small when shipping.
