I purchased these items from Shimamura about 5 years ago. I wore them for my child's kindergarten graduation ceremony and elementary school entrance ceremony, and they have been stored in a drawer since then. The flower pins tend to come off easily, and there are some loose threads. I don't think there are any noticeable scratches or stains, but please understand that this is based on a visual inspection by a non-professional. I will pack the items by folding them and placing them in a bag, then shipping them in a cardboard box. Please note that the packaging will be simple.
