Using this bag is a breeze. Just put your essentials like sunscreen, a book, and your phone inside. The long straps make it easy to carry over your shoulder. When going to the beach, be careful not to get sand stuck in the snap - button closure. To maintain it, gently wipe the bag with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid machine - washing as it could damage the natural woven material. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to preserve its quality.
