Koala Backpack - Cherry Red & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

Cherry red against charcoal black makes this the brightest Koala, and the one people actually notice. It is the same compact waxed canvas pack that converts between backpack and sling, built for carrying a little rather than a lot. Good for city days, markets and short trips where you want your hands free and your bag easy to find.

Key Features

• Cherry red canvas with charcoal black panels, the boldest colourway in the Koala range
• Backpack-to-sling conversion for two ways to wear it
• Compact, light body for essentials and a thin layer
• Quick-access pockets for phone, keys and wallet
• Water-resistant waxed canvas with antique brass hardware and YKK zips
• Plastic-free and cruelty-free build

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

Wear it on both shoulders when you are moving fast or carrying weight, and switch to the sling strap when you want to pull it round to the front in a queue or on public transport. The red panel sits on the outer face, so the bag stays visible when worn cross-body.

Care Instructions

• Wipe with a damp cloth only; detergents pull wax out of dyed canvas and dull the red
• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron
• Dry in the shade, as red is the shade most prone to sun fading
• Store away from direct light between uses

Good to Know

• Water-resistant, not waterproof
• Bright dyed canvas can transfer a little colour onto very light clothing when the bag is new and damp
• Small variations in the red between panels are normal for naturally dyed canvas

FAQs

Is the red likely to fade?

It holds up in normal use, but sustained direct sun will lighten it faster than it would the black or navy versions. Dry it in the shade and it stays even.

How much does it hold?

Enough for a wallet, phone, keys, a bottle and a light jacket. It is not sized for a laptop or a stack of books.

Can it be worn on either shoulder as a sling?

Yes. The strap reconfigures for either side, so you can swap shoulders on a long day.
