To use this tote, simply slide your hand through the top handle and carry it with ease. You can put your daily essentials like your phone, wallet, and makeup inside. When it comes to pairing, it looks amazing with daytime dresses, adding a touch of style to your outfit. As for maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the white leather. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the leather part. For the raffia straw, a small brush can be used to remove dust. Be careful not to get it wet as it might damage the materials.
