Using this duffle bag is a breeze. Just unzip the top and start packing your clothes, toiletries, or other items for your short trip. The outside zip pockets are great for things like keys, wallets, or your phone so you can reach them quickly. When carrying the bag, hold it by the double handles. To keep it in good condition, avoid over - stuffing it as it may damage the canvas. If it gets dirty, you can use a damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Don't machine - wash it as it might ruin the canvas and the zip. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent mold and mildew.
