Dugong Backpack - Walnut Brown & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

The Dugong backpack in walnut brown and charcoal black is the warmest-looking version of Clan Earth's waxed canvas daily pack. The brown body against black panels gives it a softer, more casual read than the olive or blue, while the inside is the same working setup: a padded laptop section, a front pocket for small things and a bottle pocket on each side. It is aimed at people who want one bag for the office and the occasional weekend away.

Key Features

• Walnut brown canvas with charcoal black panels, the most casual of the three colourways
• Padded laptop section inside the main compartment
• Deep main compartment with room for clothes on a short trip
• Front pocket for cables, tickets and a charger
• Rear pocket sitting against your back for things you want out of sight
• Bottle pockets on both sides

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

Load the padded section against the back panel first, then fill the main compartment outwards so the weight sits close to your spine. Because the brown canvas shows marks more readily than the darker shades, keep pens, bottles and anything that can leak in the side pockets rather than loose inside.

Product Details

• Type: waxed canvas backpack with padded laptop section
• Colourway: Walnut Brown with Charcoal Black panels
• Storage: main compartment, laptop section, front pocket, rear pocket, two side bottle pockets
• Hardware: antique brass fittings, YKK zips

Care Instructions

• Spot clean with a damp cloth only; detergents strip the wax finish from the canvas
• Do not machine wash, soak, tumble dry or iron
• Air dry in the shade, as strong sun will lighten the brown unevenly
• Store loosely packed and upright so the panels keep their shape

Good to Know

• Waxed canvas is water-resistant, not waterproof
• The brown panels pick up scuffs and creases sooner than black or navy; most marks buff out with a dry cloth
• Colour deepens with handling, so the bag looks noticeably different after a year of use

FAQs

Will the brown fade?

It changes rather than fades. Regular use burnishes the wax and the tone deepens; long spells in direct sunlight are what cause patchy lightening, so dry it in the shade.

What size laptop fits?

The padded section is built around a standard 14 to 15 inch laptop. The vendor does not publish exact internal dimensions, so measure your machine if it is a larger 16 inch model.

Does it work as cabin luggage for a short flight?

It is sized as a daypack that stretches to a two-night trip, and it fits under most seats or in an overhead bin. Airline size limits vary, so check your carrier's rules.
