To use this handbag, simply open the drawstring - closed linen pouch inside to store your essentials. You can carry it by hand or over your shoulder for a trendy look. When using it at the beach, be careful not to let sand get inside. To clean, gently wipe the straw exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet for long periods as it may damage the straw. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
