Using this backpack is a breeze. First, open the main compartment with the double zipper pulls to store your big items like books or laptops. You can put smaller things in the front zip compartments, and use the key loop to keep your keys handy. The side open pockets are great for water bottles or umbrellas. When you carry it, adjust the padded shoulder straps to fit your comfort. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe the glitter - covered fabric gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the glitter. Also, don't overstuff the backpack to keep its shape. That's all you need to know to make the most of your new backpack!
