This case was entered into Namus in 2008. The case profile on Namus was recently updated yesterday.

I will highlight some of the updates to info compared to items in this thread.
***It appears that the label on the sweater is actually "Palais royal brand", and not rafaella. There is no mention of rafaella in the Namus documents. This makes me think that if rafaella was present, that it refers to a personal name tag and not the manufacturer label.
