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!

But I made sure to watch videos on how to spot the fakes. So it arrived & at first appeared to be fine. Very cute & bright. Then I began to examine it.1. The stitching was not that of a highly reputable brand. Some of it was undonealready!! (Sides of zipper)2. The front logo looked fine but…
the perfect small bag but there are some minor flaws Finally got around to purchasing a fjallraven kanken bag and i’ve been using it for a few days now. there’s a lot of wonderful features in the kanken bag, but at the same time, there are some downsides…firstly, i will talk about counterfeit kanken bags! ALWAYS buy from amazon fulfilled sellers (unless you don’t care for fakes)!! most amazon fulfilled sellers are selling authentic items! however, if youre not sure if your bag is authentic, here are some distinctive features…
