Using this backpack is a breeze. Simply unzip the top closure to access the main compartment. You can put your larger items like books or a sweater inside. For small things like keys, a phone, or a wallet, use the outside front zip pocket. Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable length so you can carry it around without any strain. When you're not using it, you can hang it up by the back loop. To keep it in good condition, avoid overstuffing it as it might damage the canvas. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Don't machine wash it as it could ruin the material. With proper use and care, this backpack will serve you well for a long time.
