Authentic item purchased from JWI. The color is reddish-purple, with the third photo being the closest representation. There are no noticeable stains or damage, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details. We would appreciate it if you could assess the condition of the item based on the photos. This bra top does not include pads or pad pockets. I work during the day, so transaction communication may be late in the evening. Regarding shipping, please note that the item may be folded or compressed to reduce its size for packaging. Thank you for your understanding.
