Using your Spartina 449 Bay Dreams tote is a breeze. Just unzip the top and start filling it with your daily essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys. You can put your phone or a small notebook in the magnetic back slip pocket for quick access. Inside, use the two slip pockets for items like your sunglasses or a makeup pouch, and the zipper pocket for more valuable items such as your keys or credit cards. When it comes to cleaning, simply throw it in the washing machine as it's machine - washable. However, make sure to zip up all the zippers before washing to prevent any damage. After washing, let it air dry. Avoid overstuffing the tote to keep its shape and to ensure the padded shoulder straps remain comfortable to carry. Enjoy using your new tote!
