Using this tote is a breeze. Just open it up and start placing your essentials like your wallet, makeup, and books in the interior compartments. The front pocket is perfect for your phone and keys so you can grab them quickly. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or sharp objects as they can damage the vegan leather. If it gets a little dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution to gently clean it. Then let it air - dry. This way, your tote will look great and last a long time.
