Using this tote is a breeze. Just toss in your daily items like your wallet, phone, keys, and shopping goods. When using it for shopping, you can stack your groceries or new clothes inside. For special occasions, you can put in a gift and some tissue paper. Since it's made to order, expect to wait 7 - 10 business days for it to arrive. To keep it in great shape, spot - clean it with a mild detergent if it gets dirty. Avoid machine - washing as it may damage the graphic design. Also, don't overstuff it to prevent stretching the handles or the body of the tote.
