Using this bag is easy. Just open the top and put in your stuff like your phone, wallet, keys, and a small towel for the beach. When you're done using it, make sure to shake out any sand or dirt. To keep it looking good, avoid getting it wet too often. If it gets a little dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Don't overstuff it as that might damage the shape. Hang it up or lay it flat when not in use to maintain its structure.
