Koala Backpack - Navy Blue & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

Navy blue with charcoal black panels gives the Koala a colourway that reads as smart rather than sporty, which helps if the same small pack has to work for the office and the weekend. It is the compact waxed canvas bag that switches between backpack and sling, sized for the things you actually carry every day. A sensible option if charcoal feels too plain and cherry red too loud.

Key Features

• Navy blue canvas with charcoal black panels, dark enough to pass as formal
• Two carry modes: backpack straps or a single sling strap
• Small, light body built for daily essentials
• Pockets sized for phone, keys and wallet
• Water-resistant waxed canvas with antique brass fittings and YKK zips
• Plastic-free and 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

Backpack mode is the one for a commute or a walk with any distance to it; sling mode suits shorter hops where you want to reach the bag without taking it off. Since the navy panels are the ones that show, keep anything that could leak inside a separate pouch.

Care Instructions

• Spot clean with a damp cloth; avoid detergent, which lifts the wax finish

• Air dry in the shade; navy can lighten patchily in strong sun
• Store loosely packed rather than folded flat

Good to Know

• Water-resistant rather than waterproof
• Navy and charcoal sit close in tone, so the contrast is subtle in low light
• Waxed canvas creases at fold points, and those lines stay as part of the bag's finish

FAQs

How different is navy from the charcoal version?

Navy is noticeably blue in daylight but reads almost as dark as charcoal indoors, so it is a safer pick if you want colour without standing out.

Is it big enough for a day trip?

For a light day trip, yes: bottle, layer, wallet, phone and a small camera. It is not sized for overnight packing or for a laptop.

Do the straps sit comfortably in backpack mode?

The cotton webbing straps are fine for the loads this pack is meant for. It is not built with padded shoulder support for heavy carrying.
