To use this bag, simply unzip the top and put your things inside. You can carry it on your shoulder for hands - free convenience. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches on the leather and straw parts. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the leather. For the straw detailing, you can use a soft brush to remove dust. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep its shape and quality.
