Using your Dakota handbag is super easy. Just slip your essentials like phone, wallet, and keys inside. You can carry it by the bamboo top handle for a classic look or let it hang on your arm for a more relaxed vibe. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from water as the straw material might get damaged. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape and quality.
