Dugong Backpack - Olive Green & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

The Dugong is Clan Earth's work-and-weekend backpack in waxed canvas, with a padded laptop section inside the main compartment and bottle pockets on both sides. This olive green and charcoal black pairing is the most muted of the three colourways, so it passes as an office bag without looking corporate. It suits a commuter who also wants one bag for a two-night trip.

Key Features

• Padded laptop section inside the main compartment
• Roomy main compartment that takes a change of clothes for a short trip
• Quick-access front pocket for tickets, cables and a charger
• Deep back pocket that sits against your spine
• Bottle pockets on both sides, so a bottle and an umbrella can travel together
• Antique brass fittings and YKK zips against olive green and charcoal black panels

Materials

• Waxed cotton canvas, a water-resistant natural fabric long used for military bags
• Cotton interlinings and cotton webbing straps
• Antique brass hardware and YKK zips
• Cork and printed cork detailing
• Plant-based and cruelty-free throughout, made without plastic

How to Pack It

Slide the laptop into the padded section first so it rests against the back panel, then pack softer items in front of it to stop the machine shifting. Keep the front pocket for what you need without taking the bag off, and use the two side pockets for a bottle and a folding umbrella.

Product Details

• Type: waxed canvas backpack with padded laptop section
• Colourway: Olive Green with Charcoal Black panels
• Storage: main compartment, laptop section, front pocket, rear pocket, two side bottle pockets

Care Instructions

• Spot clean waxed canvas with a damp cloth; avoid detergent, which strips the wax finish
• Never machine wash, soak, tumble dry or iron
• Empty and air dry in the shade if the bag gets soaked through
• Store upright and loosely packed rather than folded, so the panels do not crease

Good to Know

• Waxed canvas is water-resistant rather than waterproof, and the finish wears thinner at stress points over time
• Wax can leave a faint mark on very light clothing when the bag is new
• Olive canvas mellows with sun exposure, so the two-tone contrast softens over a few seasons

FAQs

What size laptop does it take?

The padded section is sized for a standard 14 to 15 inch laptop. A 16 inch machine will usually go in, but check your own dimensions before ordering, as the vendor does not publish an exact internal measurement.

Is it comfortable when fully loaded?

The webbing straps and structured back panel spread weight well for a commute or a day of travel. It is an everyday and short-trip pack rather than a trekking bag with a hip belt.

How does it differ from the Pangolin?

The Dugong is the straightforward daily backpack with a laptop section and side bottle pockets. The Pangolin is the travel-focused pack, with more internal compartments and anti-theft detailing.
