What size bag should I get?
The size of the bag you need depends on what you plan to carry. For daily use, crossbody or sling styles can hold essentials like a wallet, phone, and keys. For travel or school, larger bags like backpacks or tote bags can accommodate more items, including books, laptops, and clothing.
What are the best materials for durable bags?
Durable bags are typically made from materials such as leather, nylon, canvas, and polyester. These materials are known for their strength, resistance to wear and tear, and overall longevity.
How do I clean and maintain my bag?
Cleaning and maintenance depend on the material of the bag. For fabric bags, check the care label; most can be spot cleaned with a mixture of lukewarm water and a small amount of gentle detergent. Nylon and polyester bags can often be wiped down with a damp cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, check if the backpack is machine washable. Always allow the bag to air dry.
Is a backpack a carry-on?
Yes, most backpacks can be used as carry-on luggage for air travel. They generally meet the size requirements for carry-on items, but it's always best to check with your airline's specific regulations.
