Using this backpack is a breeze. Just unzip the main pocket to put your things inside. You can also use the side pockets for smaller items. Adjust the padded straps to your comfort level before you wear it. Since it's made of vegan - friendly faux leather, avoid getting it wet for long periods. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the hardware and the leather. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on the applique and other details. Enjoy this officially licensed Disney backpack on all your adventures!
