Key Features and Usage
1. 3-Way Carrying Style
The backpack can be carried in three ways: as a backpack, a shoulder bag, or a handbag. The shoulder straps can be stored in a dedicated pocket on the back when not in use, allowing for a clean handbag appearance.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: For minor dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and gently clean the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the backpack completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers or direct sunlight, as this may damage the fabric.
- Water Repellency: The outer and inner fabrics are water-repellent. However, this treatment may diminish over time with use. This product is not fully waterproof; avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging it in water.
- Storage: Store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns. If you encounter issues not covered here, please contact customer support.
- Zipper sticking: Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
- Fabric appearance variations: Due to the nature of the wrinkled fabric, individual variations in texture and appearance may occur. This is a characteristic of the material and not a defect.
- Shoulder strap discomfort: Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted evenly to distribute weight across both shoulders. Avoid overloading the backpack.
