Koala Backpack - Olive Green & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

The olive green and charcoal black Koala is the outdoors-leaning version of Clan Earth's convertible pack: olive hides trail dust and city grime equally well, which makes it the practical choice of the four colourways. It carries as a backpack or as a single-strap sling, and it is deliberately small, built for essentials rather than a heavy load. Suited to walks, markets and travel days where you want minimal bag.

Key Features

• Olive green canvas with charcoal black panels, a colourway that hides dust and marks
• Backpack or sling carry from the same bag
• Compact, lightweight shape for essentials and a light layer
• Quick-access pockets for the things you reach for often
• Water-resistant waxed canvas, 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

Wear it on both shoulders for walking and hiking, where the small size keeps the load stable on your back. Drop it to one strap when you stop, so you can swing it round and reach the pockets without unpacking anything.

Product Details

• Type: convertible backpack and sling in waxed canvas
• Colourway: Olive Green with Charcoal Black panels
• Storage: main compartment plus quick-access pockets

Care Instructions

• Brush off dried mud before wiping, so grit is not ground into the weave
• Spot clean with a damp cloth; no detergent, which strips the wax
• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron
• Air dry fully in the shade before storing, especially after a wet walk

Good to Know

• Water-resistant rather than waterproof; a dry bag is still needed for electronics in real rain
• Olive mellows in sunlight over time, so an older bag reads lighter than a new one
• The pack is small by design and not intended for laptops or overnight kit

FAQs

Is it suitable for short hikes?

For a half-day walk with water, snacks and a layer, yes. It has no hip belt or frame, so longer treks with weight need a proper hiking pack.

How does it compare with the Swift Fox Sling?

The Koala is larger and can be worn on both shoulders; the Swift Fox is a dedicated crossbody for pocket essentials only.

Will mud stains come out?

Dried mud brushes off waxed canvas well. What tends to stay is anything oily, so treat those spots quickly with a damp cloth.
