It can be used as a shoulder bag or a clutch by removing the strap. I have stored it without using it much. I don't see any noticeable large stains, but it is a used item, so please understand that there may be minor scratches and stains. This is a used item, and it has been inspected and stored by a non-professional. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the feel of use. Please purchase only if you understand the condition of the item. The shipping method is undecided, but I plan to ship it in a compact form using recycled materials for an eco-friendly shipment.
