Sorry - just saw this now. No stains, pilling, rips or snags. No smoking here - but all vintage/antique items are acquired at estate sales & auctions so they have had a "prior life" - I am not the original owner. The fabric is 75% acrylic/25% metallic - not "itchy" to me, but the metallic may irritate some.
I just bid my last credits on a build-a-bear. Hm... I might have to go do surveys so I can get this. lol. Pinned it, Google +, Facebooked, & Tweeted. Also: Watching & Fan. :-) Please check out my auctions. :-)
