Using the Kavu Switch Slinger Bag is easy. First, adjust the rope shoulder strap to your preferred length. You can wear it on your right or left shoulder as you like. To switch the side, just unclip the side - release buckle and re - attach it. When you're not using one of the buckles, tuck it away to keep things tidy. Store your small items in the top zip pocket and larger ones in the vertical zip compartments. The hidden zip pocket in the padded back panel is great for keeping your valuables safe. For maintenance, spot clean the 100% cotton canvas fabric with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing to keep the bag's shape and color. Don't overstuff the bag to prevent damage to the zippers and straps.
