Using this tote is super easy. Just open it up and start packing your essentials like your laptop, magazines, and lip balm. When you're out and about, you can carry it by the braided handles for a comfortable grip. As for care, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the sienna brown color. Also, don't overstuff it to keep its shape. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally.
