Using this tote bag is easy. To open it, just use the signature gold bar closure. You can carry it on your arm for a classic look or attach the crossbody strap for hands - free use. When it comes to storage, use the interior zipper pocket for small items like keys or cards. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth regularly to maintain its shine. If it gets dirty, use a mild leather cleaner, but test it on a small, hidden area first to make sure it doesn't damage the leather.
