To use this handbag, you can carry it by hand or attach the cross - body strap for a hands - free option. When you pack it, put small items like keys, cards, and lip balm in the interior zip pouch. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Don't expose it to extreme heat or moisture as this could damage the handwoven texture.
