Using your Herschel Strand Duffle Bag is a breeze. Just open the top - down main compartment to quickly put in or take out your belongings. You can use the corduroy front pocket for smaller items like keys or cards. When it comes to carrying, the padded top handle ensures comfort. As for care, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the crosshatch fabric. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape and quality.
