Using this backpack is a breeze. Simply unzip the main compartment to store your daily essentials like books, a laptop, or your makeup bag. The front compartment is great for quick - access items such as your keys or phone. You can put your water bottle or umbrella in the side mesh pockets. When it comes to adjusting the shoulder straps, just pull on the tabs to make them longer or shorter for a comfortable carry. For maintenance, spot - clean the canvas with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid machine - washing or using harsh chemicals as this may damage the fabric. Also, don't overstuff the backpack as it could stretch the material and affect its shape.
