I purchased this quite a while ago, but since I haven't used it much, I don't see any noticeable stains or scratches. Please understand that this is a personal inspection. As you can see in the photos, both the short-sleeved sweater and the cardigan have beautiful, stylish embroidery. The colors are lovely, giving a gentle and elegant impression. The color is a deep charcoal gray. It's close to black, but a softer shade. It's 100% wool, and the size is M, but the cardigan is roomy, so it might fit someone who usually wears a size L... I think it'll be okay. I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, but since this is a personal inspection, I apologize if I missed anything. Thank you for your understanding. As you can see in the tag photo, the name has been removed to prevent loss during cleaning, so please understand. This is an ensemble that can still be worn for a long time. It has been dry cleaned.
