All packaging materials are new, considering hygiene. I took it out of the included plastic bag with the intention of wearing it and stored it in a dark place. I am selling it because I never had the opportunity to wear it. Although it is unused, it is a used item that has been in someone's possession. Please consider purchasing if you understand that it is a used item. It will be folded for shipping due to packaging constraints. Due to past troubles, price reduction and holding are not possible.
