I used it about twice during a live performance. Although there are no noticeable stains, there are some color unevenness and fraying characteristic of this jute material. Also, it feels a little worn. The sunflower patch was purchased the same year, I believe, and I attached it to the bag. It came off easily because I didn't iron it on. To keep shipping costs down, I'm thinking of folding it in quarters and sending it via Yu-Packet Post. I apologize, but using Takkyubin or Yu-Pack would increase the shipping cost by about 600 yen.
