I've forgotten when I bought it. Worn 4-5 times. I've hand-washed it with delicate laundry detergent each time and stored it carefully. I liked the design and bought it, but I won't be wearing it anymore, so I'm offering it to someone who will. I haven't found any noticeable damage or stains, but this is based on my personal assessment, so there may be some minor oversights. Please understand. The scent of delicate laundry detergent (probably Emal) remains. I don't find it unpleasant, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
