It's perfect. Yes, it's clear the fabric is "recycled"; but isn't that the point? There is a little bleeding on some of the pink stitching, but it gives it character. I love the little shells that are stitched into it and the tassels are ridiculously cute. It looks like something I picked up on a fabulous trip to a far away paradise. If you want something uniform and "perfect", don't get this. If you want character and unique beauty, this one's for you.
