Koala Backpack - Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

The Koala is a small waxed canvas pack that converts between a backpack and a single-strap sling, so one bag covers both a hands-free commute and a light afternoon out. In all-over charcoal black it is the plainest version, with no contrast panel to date it or clash with what you are wearing. It is aimed at light packers rather than anyone hauling books or a large laptop.

Key Features

• Converts from backpack to sling, so you can switch carry style during the day
• All-over charcoal black canvas with no contrast panelling
• Compact and light, sized for essentials rather than a full day's kit
• Pockets placed for quick access to phone, wallet and keys
• Water-resistant waxed canvas with antique brass hardware and YKK zips
• Plastic-free, cruelty-free construction

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, made without plastic

How to Carry It

Use both straps when you are cycling, walking far or carrying anything with weight to it. Switch to the single sling strap for short stretches when you want to swing the bag round to the front without taking it off.

Care Instructions

• Air dry in the shade if it gets wet through
• Store loosely packed so the compact shape does not crease flat

Good to Know

• Water-resistant, not waterproof
• Black canvas hides marks well, but wax rub can show as a slight sheen on the areas that press against your back
• The pack is deliberately small; it is not intended for a laptop or a full day of books

FAQs

How do I switch it between backpack and sling?

The straps reconfigure so the pack can be worn on both shoulders or as a single cross-body strap. It takes a few seconds and needs no tools.

Will it hold a laptop?

No. The Koala is sized for essentials and a light layer. For a laptop, the Dugong has a padded section built for one.

Is black the best choice for daily commuting?

It is the most forgiving of the Koala colourways for city use, since dust and scuffing barely register against charcoal.
