Using your new tote and crossbody bag is a breeze. You can use the adjustable strap to carry it on your shoulder as a crossbody or hold it as a tote. It's great for everyday use, like going to work, school, or running errands. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the bag in water to keep its shape and material quality. And remember, due to the presence of chemicals like lead and cadmium, don't let small children chew or play roughly with the bag. If you have any questions about the chemicals, check the link provided on the product description.
