Using this duffle bag is a breeze. First, unzip the top closure to load your belongings. You can use the outside zip pockets to keep items like keys, wallets, or travel documents within easy reach. When carrying, hold the double handles. The 9 - inch drop ensures a comfortable grip. For maintenance, wipe the bag with a damp cloth regularly to keep the glitter fabric clean. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the fabric. When not in use, store it in a dry place. Also, don't overstuff the bag as it might affect the zip or the shape of the bag.
