To use the Alessandra clutch, you can hold it in your hand for a classic look or attach the detachable chain strap and carry it on your shoulder for a more hands - free option. When using it, be careful not to scratch the delicate embroidered flowers. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dust - free bag when not in use. You can gently wipe the raffia surface with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty.
