Using this bag is a breeze. If you're going for a laid - back look around town, just attach the crossbody strap. It'll sit comfortably on your shoulder as you go about your day. For a more dressed - up look, carry it by the bamboo top handle with your floral dresses. When it comes to care, keep it away from water as the raffia may get damaged. Also, don't expose it to direct sunlight for too long to prevent the colors from fading. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in great condition.
