Thank you for viewing! This is an authentic item purchased from a department store. I have worn it several times. The inner metal hardware has discolored, but it's on the inside and doesn't affect wear. I have taken good care of it, so there is some wear and tear, but no other noticeable damage. It's a lovely item, but it is a used item, so please understand and purchase accordingly ◡̈♥︎ Only the hat is for sale.
