I purchased this last summer and used it only once. The colorful pom-poms are super cute and recommended as a fashion accent! It can be tied like a drawstring bag, but I think it's also cute to use it as shown in photo 7. My hairstyle changed, and my clothing preferences changed with it, so I haven't used it much, which is a waste. I hope someone who likes it will use it. There is a slight distortion in the bag, but this was from the time of purchase. Please understand. If you look closely at the bottom of the bag, you can see some color spots like in photos 13 and 14. It's on the bottom, and it's small, so it's not easily visible, but please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned. I am storing it at home, so please purchase only if you understand that it is a used item.
