Using this duffle bag is a breeze. Unzip the top closure to load your clothes, toiletries, and other travel items. You can use the outside zip pockets for things like keys, phone, or travel documents so they're easily accessible. When carrying, hold the double handles. Remember to not overstuff the bag as it may strain the handles or the canvas. For maintenance, spot - clean the canvas with a mild detergent and a soft cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid exposing the bag to extreme heat or sharp objects that could damage the canvas or the zippers. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent mold and mildew.
