Price reduced. Purchased at a department store. The fabric is like a sweatshirt. It's 100% cotton. Regarding the color, it's a more subdued purple than in the photos. The color in the photo of the care label is closer to the actual color. I apologize that I couldn't capture it well. There are no visible stains. Also, there is some slight fuzzing and small pills in places. Please understand that this is based on my personal assessment. My name is not written on the care label. Please also see my profile. Thank you.
