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!

Love My daughter returned from studying in France and had to have one of these since “all of the college kids in France had one”. She absolutely loves it and uses it all the time.

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…
