I received this as a gift and used it twice at parties. It appears to be in beautiful condition with no scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something brand new. It has been stored in its original cover and box. The color appears to be beige, but it has a glossy finish and is quite gorgeous. It's a clasp-style purse, making it easy to put things in and take them out. I will ship it anonymously in a Ships cloth cover and outer bag. If you would like it shipped in the box, please let me know in the comments section as it will be an additional 500 yen.
