Using your Vans Realm Black Backpack is a breeze. For the main compartment, simply unzip it and place your larger items like books or clothes inside. The front organizational pocket is great for storing small things such as pens, keys, or your phone. Just open it up and arrange your items neatly. The laptop sleeve is specifically designed to hold your laptop safely, so slide your laptop in gently. When it comes to maintenance, if your backpack gets dirty, you can use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to spot - clean it. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the 100% polyester material. Also, try not to overstuff the backpack to prevent it from losing its shape. When not in use, store it in a dry place to keep it in good condition.
