This Margot tote is super easy to use. Just open the top and toss in your daily essentials like your phone, wallet, sunglasses, and a book. For beach days, it can also hold your towel and sunscreen. When carrying it, the soft leather straps will sit comfortably on your shoulders. As for maintenance, keep it away from water as the rattan can get damaged. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the leather parts. For the rattan, a soft brush can help remove dust. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in great shape.
