Customer Reviews Fjällräven Kanken

I love the look of this bag. Perfect for my carry on items. The color is great but the material is very stiff. I hope with use it will soften up a little. When I ordered it I thought it was like soft canvas.

I was very disappointed to see that this bag is no longer made in Sweden.

not worth its price. thin, ugly, & boring.

I ordered this backpack for day trips when I didn’t want to carry a purse but needed a place for my wallet, umbrella, water bottle, etc. It’s a nice size and fairly comfortable, although the straps are thin. I like the looks, and it’s perfect for what I use it for. My only issue is that it’s pretty expensive for what it is. I kept it, but I’m on the fence about whether it was worth the money.

I love this backpack, and wanted to use it as a diaper bag. It is a great size and fits all of the items we use on a daily basis, with room to spare. However, the top left strap has lost its threading. I've had this bag only for 2 weeks and it's already broken.

very cute and fit all my books but the straps need pads :/

I love so much about this backpack: the material is sturdy, the opening is convenient, the color is great, and it's just overall super cute. However, the straps are way too thin. I tried to wear a tank top with it--big mistake. I thought I was buying the version that has a little extra padding around the straps, but I guess that only comes in the larger sizes. I can't say I'm not disappointed.

THIS BACKPACK IS VERY SMALL, it is a child's size backpack. I am a small, 5'1" woman, and it was even too small for me to use. Many of the reviews seemed to be written by adults, so I was really confused when I got it and it was so small. My Swedish neighbor said he had one in first grade. :) I did not use it, so I did not want to rate it badly, it may be fine, but it's small. The quality doesn't seem all that great, and i did not feel the quality justified the price, I returned it.

Cons: straps are narrow, and there could be more secure compartments and pockets. There's only one that faces out. Pros: light, capacious, great color and waterproof. Not quite nice/polished enough for the price and as an adult work bag-book bag. Zappos is the best, as always, with service.

Really small and cheap material for the price.

This is not worth the money. The material is plastic-like and very thin. My boys destroyed these bags easily. They have holes in them and look terrible after only a few months. The "seat pad" insert is a piece of polystyrene foam that sticks out about 3 inches and is so flimsy. Calling it a seat pad is offensive. This brand is expensive because of the design and the fact that it sounds Scandi - which I love. But the quality is a joke.

Pack is too small for anything more than a toddler and of very cheap quality. The shoulder straps are narrow and dig into your armpits. It is more fitting to use a purse.

This is no doubt a very cute, retro backpack. I loved the simplicity, and the colors. But I packed it with a modest assortment of things I would need as a day traveler (jacket, guidebook, water bottle, wallet, etc) and it quickly became quite uncomfortable. I wore it around the house and was ready to send it back after less than an hour. I can't imagine using it for textbooks or my daily commuter with a laptop. Yes, it's cute, yes it's Scandinavian, but 1" straps for more than a wallet and a little sweater? No thank you. Especially if you plan on wearing a tank top - beware those straps digging into your bare skin. Also, it's pretty expensive for how simple the materials and construction are.

not original

I love the style but this is a terribly uncomfortable backpack. The straps painfully dig into my skin to the point that I cannot wear it at all and the zippers are really hard to get open. I love the look and idea of this but it is not worth it.

I love the look of this bag. It was mostly comfortable to wear as long as not packed too heavy. However, the deal breaker is the strap fabric. It ruined two of my shirts causing severe pilling. I can't risk it ruining more shirts:(

It was a lot smaller than you would think. The material was very scratchy and uncomfortable. It also did not fit all my school stuff in it because it was smaller than what the description said. Overall I would not recommend it to anyone.
