To use this tote bag, simply open it up and place your belongings inside. It's great for carrying beach essentials like towels, sunscreen, and a good book, or for packing your lunch and some makeup for a day out with the ladies. When you're done using it, give it a gentle shake to remove any sand or debris. Avoid getting it too wet as the corn husk material might be damaged. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition.
