Please note that this backpack includes a single main compartment and one padded laptop sleeve; it does not feature internal organizational pockets such as zippered pouches, pen loops, or mesh dividers. For optimal care, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry clean, as this may damage the fabric or alter its texture.

Color appearance may vary slightly depending on device screen settings; the official color name is “Potter’s Clay,” and slight variations in hue are normal due to the nature of dyed recycled fabrics.
