First introduced in 1978 – The Kanken backpack has become an iconic symbol of classic functional Swedish design. After engaging in the “back debates” of the late 1970’s in Sweden, Fjallraven founder Ake Nordin developed a simple yet functional backpack with the help of The Swedish Guide and Scout Association. This revolutionary design now known as the Kanken evenly distributed the bag’s weight to both shoulders which led to reduced back problems in Sweden. Not much has changed since 1978. We’ve added more colors and a few new models including mini and laptop versions. The Kanken is made of Vinylon F, a highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use. Since 1960 Fjallraven has stayed true to its mission; developing timeless, functional and durable outdoor equipment while acting responsibly toward people, animals and the environment. Inspired by the outdoors, Fjallraven inspires others to get outside!

CONVINCING BUT FAKE… pay the extra $20 and get one from OU I was pretty happy with this backpack until taking a trip to Urban Outfitters to compare it to the real thing, the one I received is a much thinner fabric and the buttons are not as facing the same direction, Amazon should not be endorsing this product as âAmazonâs Choiceâ as they are endorising paying quite a bit of money for a backpack that is fake and probably only worth $10, this is probably the first time Iâve been disappointed with Amazon and will not be buying any more fashion items…
Fake!
Customer Video Review Length:: 1:06 Mins This backpack that I ball it’s not real it’s a fake because the button start falling off the first time I use it. So I decided to take it to an actual store and they told me it’s 100% fake. I would never buy from this buyer again I have I would have just spent the extra $30 to buy the real thing. So I actually did buy the real thing in comparison the fabric is a lot thinner and is not waterproof like the real thing. You can see in the the video.
Fake! Don’t buy from this seller! This is a knock-off Fjallraven backpack. I know this because I already own a legitimate Fjallraven backpack and the material used in this one is nowhere near the quality. Not even close. Also, one other dead giveaway is the spelling error on the tag. Fjalleaven? I don’t think so. I’m absolutely disgusted at what I’ve received. I have attached photos as proof and to help other buyers identify fake backpacks. I’ve also included a comparison of the tag against the one for my real Kanken…
