The material is soft and feels nice against the skin. I have taken it out of the bag, but it was kept as a room decoration, so I haven't touched it much, and there are no stains. It was stored in a dark place away from sunlight. The included bag has been stored in a closet since the purchase, but it has some creases. Please understand that this is a privately managed item. If purchased, I plan to ship it with: Compression: ✖️ (No) Water Protection: ○ (Yes) Packing Materials: ○ (Yes) Paper Bag Thank you for looking!
