This item was used about 7-10 times when my daughter was in the first grade of elementary school. ※Regarding damage↓ The paint on the zipper is peeling. There is slime on the string, and it hasn't come off. Also, the connection part of the string is a little loose, and it might come off if pulled. Please consider the string as an extra. Other than that, the pouch itself is relatively clean. Thank you.
