Overall, each case is in very good condition and at first glance look almost new. However, there are some age-typical scuffs along some of the leather edges of the luggage, as well as a light abrasions on the body of the largest piece and the medium piece. The interior edge under the lid of the small-sized box is a bit tacky and gets stuck when fully closed. The mirror inside the peach-colored case is detached. On the same case, there is scrape to one edge and there is some leeching of the bronze disease from the bolts into the fabric, Finally, a few of the smaller jewelry boxes are stiff and tough to fully open, specifically the long necklace case and two of the small boxes.
