Using your tote is super easy. Just open it up and put in your daily essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys. It's great for carrying groceries when you go shopping or your workout gear for a quick gym session. When it comes to special occasions, fill it with gifts and present it to your loved ones. As for maintenance, spot - clean the tote with a mild detergent and a soft cloth when it gets dirty. Since it's made to order, please be patient during the 7 - 10 business days processing time. Avoid overloading the tote as it may stretch the handles or damage the fabric. And that's all you need to know to enjoy your canvas tote for a long time!
