Using this tote is super easy. Just open the zip - top, put your things inside, and you're ready to go. It's great for carrying your phone, wallet, keys, and even a small makeup bag. When you're not using it, store it in a dry and cool place to keep the rattan in good condition. Avoid getting it wet as much as possible, because the rattan might get damaged if it stays wet for too long. If there's a small stain on the leather parts, you can gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. But don't use any harsh chemicals on the bag. With proper care, this tote will serve you well for many summers to come.
