The condition is new. Being handmade, some slight imperfections in the weaving and color are normal and to be expected in rural, village-woven, textiles. This is why we love handmade!

The color is from organic, natural indigo dye with hand-painted batik resist dye designs:  branch and leaf stars. The weaving has some lovely variation in thickness and the hand-feel is silky and feather-light.

......Speaking of silky, one might be mistaken that these sashes are made of silk due to the lightness and feel but, in fact, natural indigo can be a tricky choice for silk as the alkaline process can weaken the silk protein fibers (unlike cotton which is cellulose). This silk/indigo combo is rarely found, if ever, in Southeast Asian textiles. I do know, however, it is used in some traditional Japanese Aizome textiles. They may have techniques giving more precise control. Anyway...I found this of interest so am passing it along.

Both ends are finished in tassels. 

The total dimensions are 27 in. x 66 in. without the tassels.
