To use this tote, simply place your daily items like keys, wallet, phone, and makeup inside. It's great for carrying books when you go to the library or groceries when shopping. As it has no closure, be careful not to overstuff it so things don't fall out. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine - washing as it may damage the graphic design. Let it air dry. Remember, since it's made to order, wait 7 - 10 business days for it to be ready.
