Pangolin Backpack- Charcoal Black | Clan Earth

The Pangolin is Clan Earth's travel backpack: a plastic-free pack in premium water-resistant canvas, organised into separate compartments and fitted with anti-theft detailing for transit. In plain charcoal black it is the least conspicuous version, which is usually what you want on a crowded platform or a night bus. It is the bag in the range built for actual trips rather than the daily commute.

Key Features

• Plain charcoal black canvas with no contrast panelling, so it draws little attention
• Separate compartments that keep documents, cables and clothes apart
• Anti-theft detailing aimed at crowded transit and travel days
• Premium water-resistant canvas built for repeated packing and hauling
• Plastic-free construction throughout
• Cruelty-free materials with no animal leather

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 fastenings
• Cork and printed cork detailing
• Plant-based and cruelty-free, made without plastic

How to Pack It

Put documents and electronics in the compartments closest to your back, where the anti-theft detailing does the most good, and leave the outer sections for things you need at a ticket counter. Pack heavy items low so the bag stays upright when you set it down.

Product Details

• Type: plastic-free travel backpack in waxed canvas
• Colourway: Charcoal Black throughout
• Storage: multiple dedicated compartments
• Hardware: antique brass fittings, YKK fastenings

Care Instructions

• Spot clean with a damp cloth; skip detergent, which removes the wax finish
• Do not machine wash, soak, tumble dry or iron
• Empty the bag and air dry it open in the shade after wet travel
• Store upright and loosely packed rather than compressed under other luggage

Good to Know

• Water-resistant rather than waterproof; use a liner for anything that must stay dry
• Anti-theft detailing makes casual pickpocketing harder but is not a substitute for a lock or a safe
• Waxed canvas creases where it folds, and those marks stay as part of the finish

FAQs

How is the Pangolin different from the Dugong?

The Pangolin is the travel pack, with more internal compartments and anti-theft detailing. The Dugong is the daily backpack, with a padded laptop section and side bottle pockets.

Does it work as cabin baggage?

It is built as a travel backpack and suits cabin use, but airline size and weight limits differ, so check your carrier before flying.

Why choose black over the two-tone versions?

Plain black keeps the bag anonymous in transit and hides travel grime. The olive and navy versions are the same pack if you would rather have contrast panels.
