Using this backpack is super easy. Just adjust the shoulder straps to your comfort and start packing your small items in the front zipper pocket. You can carry it around during holiday open houses or any festive events to show off the amazing light - up feature. When it gets dark, the fiber optic lights on the house will really make it stand out. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratches on the vegan leather. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Don't expose it to extreme heat or moisture as it might damage the light - up function or the leather. Remember, this is an officially licensed product, so handle it with care to keep it in great condition for a long time.
