Using this tote is super easy. Just throw in your daily items like your wallet, phone, and keys, and you're ready to go. For shopping, it can hold a lot of groceries or new clothes. When using it as a gift bag, just add a bow on top. As for care, you can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Don't put it in the washing machine as it might damage the canvas or the design. Also, since it takes 7 - 10 business days to make, plan your purchase in advance if you need it for a specific occasion.
