I purchased this item about six years ago and stored it in a closet after using it a few times. There are no holes, discoloration, or fraying. There are some small pills, but they can be easily removed with a pill remover. The box is not included. This gray muffler features a logo design and is made of a wool and silk blend. - Brand: Louis Vuitton - Color: Gray - Material: 94% Wool, 6% Silk - Design: With logo, with fringe - Made in: Italy Thank you for looking.
