Koala Backpack - Walnut Brown & Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

Walnut brown with charcoal black panels is the warmest of the Koala colourways and the one that looks least like a technical bag. It is Clan Earth's compact waxed canvas pack that converts between backpack and sling, made for people who travel with little and want their hands free. The brown canvas is the panel that ages most visibly, deepening and softening with regular use.

Key Features

• Walnut brown canvas with charcoal black contrast panels
• Switches between backpack and sling depending on how much you are carrying
• Small, light body for essentials rather than a full day's load
• Pockets sized for phone, wallet and keys
• Water-resistant waxed canvas with antique brass hardware 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

Use both straps when the bag has weight in it and the single sling strap when it does not. Because walnut shows handling more than the darker colourways, try to pick the bag up by the straps rather than the body panel.

Care Instructions

• Wipe with a damp cloth; avoid detergent, which strips the wax and dulls the brown

• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron
• Air dry in the shade and store loosely packed

Good to Know

• Water-resistant rather than waterproof
• The brown panels darken with use and hand contact, which is normal for waxed canvas and not a fault

FAQs

Does the brown match the walnut Dugong or the Swift Fox sling?

They use the same walnut brown, but canvas dye lots and wax finish vary, so pieces bought separately may differ slightly in tone.

Is it big enough for a gym kit?

Not really. For shoes and a change of clothes, the Rhino Duffel is the bag in the range built for that.

Can the sling strap be removed entirely?

The strap system reconfigures between the two carry modes rather than detaching into separate parts, so the bag always keeps its straps with it.
