Using this tote is a breeze. Just open it up and throw in your daily items like your wallet, phone, keys, and makeup. You can use it for your trips to the farmer's market to carry fresh produce, or when you go shopping to hold your new purchases. As it doesn't have a closure, be careful not to overstuff it to prevent things from falling out. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Avoid machine - washing as it might damage the graphic design. Since it takes 7 - 10 business days to make, plan your purchase in advance if you need it for a specific event.
