5.0 out of 5 starsReal Kanken, and very happy!
July 8, 2017
I've heard a lot of things about these bags being fake, however, I ordered the warm yellow one and I checked all the signs for it to be real and they were all good. This specific one is from outland usa, and while I can't say that anything else is real and not fake, the bag that I got from them is the real one. Some people have pointed out signs that makes it real, so I'll write them here too:
- it has "Y K K" written very very small on the side of the zipper part that actually goes through the zipper, NOT the zipper tag.
- on the underside of the button, one of them says "WASA6" and it was printed how I've seen genuine buttons to be.
- the fox button looked like the one that is real; it is darker and smoother
- the logo on the front IS reflective! this took me a while to figure out, but if you take a picture of it with flash on then you'll see the reflectivity.
- the bag material doesn't feel like canvas, but isn't placticy either. it's "polyvinyl alkohol".
- the bag material is fairly thick.
- the handles on the top have a thick band, and have a deep weaving rather than a smooth and shiny one that you'd see on many fake ones.
- it came with a small fjallraven kanken slip that showed me the other bags.

I hope this helps anyone trying to buy the warm yellow or anyone trying to see if their bag is fake! I'll attach photos.

1.0 out of 5 starsPAID $75 FOR A FAKE!
April 30, 2018
I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want to bring down the rating of the actual product, but this might help someone else so...

I've been traveling a lot lately and really wanted a new backpack because mine is so uncomfortable. Saw a bunch of guys at the airport wearing
Fjallraven Kanken Classic Backpacks and I fell in love with the design so I checked them out on Amazon as soon as I got home. Saw that a lot of people were getting fakes, but I figured that it wouldn't happen to me. People usually sell fakes for way less than what the real product is worth, and I was paying $75 for my backpack... so surely I was getting the real deal, right? WRONG.

I was appalled when I opened up the package of my brand new $75 backpack and noticed that it looked like something you'd get from the dollar store. Whoever faked this went through great lengths to make it look like the real thing, all of the zippers had the right designs and initials... the tags were printed in the right colors and with the correct text, it even had the swedish flag thing. But some things did stick out as obviously fake. I hope that this will help you guys:

- the dimensions were slightly off, smaller than the classic pack but bigger than the mini.
- the canvas of the backpack feels really flimsy, like a cheap backpack.
- there were a lot of frayed strings, both inside and outside
- the stitching is clumsily done
- the paint on the zippers is already chipping
- packing was Chinese (dead giveaway) -- item was shipped from the US so there is no reason for it to be in Chinese
- has some tags that are written in Chinese (dead giveaway)

edit: seller was Audrey Stork

1.0 out of 5 starsFAKE!
July 17, 2019
Color: Warm YellowVerified Purchase
Don’t buy! Fake! Fake! The material is really thin compared to my other Fjallraven backpack so I’m afraid to put a lot of things inside. Very nice and vibrant color but completely different to the original backpack. I have included a picture of the fake I bought through Amazon and the original I bought from Urban Outfitters. Very disappointed!

1.0 out of 5 starsFake. Want a real one? But directly from Fjallraven.
March 17, 2019
Color: Warm YellowVerified Purchase
Fake. I can’t believe that Amazon allows these sellers. We were traveling and missed the return window. That was last summer and I’m still mad. Lol! I’ve met people all over the world with these bags and they hold up. This one was instantly filthy. The fabric isn’t right and doesn’t wear well.

1.0 out of 5 starsEh...
September 12, 2017
Color: PinkVerified Purchase
Knew I should've just bought it from the actual legit site. And I did after returning this product. Even though it seems so real, it's fake. This producer tried hard on making it the "real deal" but there's still things that give it away that it's a fake. First of all, the kanken badge in the front doesn't reflect like it should as the real one does and the material is very flimsy, thin, and cheap, whereas the real one is very thick and doesn't get dirty easily. One star for effort though.

1.0 out of 5 starsDoesn’t match what is described and shown
June 25, 2019
Color: Warm YellowVerified Purchase
Assuming this was a real Fjallraven bag, it was horrible. Seemed like cheap material, could almost see through it and the color was very different than what was shown. My daughter hated it and almost cried because she had spent her own money. We returned it and ended up buying locally from a store. Fjallraven is a great bag and my daughter loves her new one, but this one was very disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 starsCounterfeit
July 15, 2019
Color: GraphiteVerified Purchase
This bag was fake. I ordered the graphite color here on amazon to replace a light gray one I had that was super beaten up. At first I thought it was real but when I was looking at It I noticed things that seemed off. So I went to Nordstrom and bought a red kanken there, and I was right. As you can see from the pictures the stitching is sloppy on the graphite colored one and even the tag font is different from the red. The fox buttons on the graphite are less defined And the stitching on the bottom of the bag is stitched in the opposite direction than the real one. I guess I should have expected it to be fake since the bag was being sold for a cheaper price than the standard 80 dollars. But it’s still annoying to now have to go through the process of returning the backpack and wait for a refund because it’s a counterfeit.

5.0 out of 5 starsOriginal Fjallraven Kanken.
March 3, 2019
Color: PlumVerified Purchase
My daughter bought this backpack. I was scared that it wasn't original, but it was worth it, because it's original. The material is an incredible quality and fits well for a high school student, and is waterproof. Excellent to travel. The color is fine, it looked darker but she liked it. Definitely, a great purchase.

4.0 out of 5 starsDifferent Material than Other Fjallraven Bag, Still Love & Recommend to Other Buyers
May 17, 2018
Color: GraphiteVerified Purchase
I recently bought a Fjallraven bag from Urban Outfitters and wanted to buy my friend one for her birthday. This color happened to be on sale, and I immediately bought it. I did read the reviews, saying that some of these bags are counterfeit, but was positive that this may have been a mistake. I received the bag in the mail, and immediately could tell the main difference between the bag I ordered from Urban, and the one I received from Amazon. This bag seemed to be made of cloth, was a little more slouchy, and is definitely less waterproof than my bag. My bag is made of a thick, waterproof material, and compared to this one, could probably be submerged in water and be just fine. To be honest, this was the only thing that I could tell was off. The bag looks great, has all of the same details that mine does, and it is in a super cute color! I do not mind that this bag may be made out of a different material, since I did pay such a low price for it. I do not plan on returning it, because my friend loves it! Buyers, beware that you may not be getting the same quality bag as Fjallraven sells, but the quality is still good, and comparable to a Jansport backpack. I would still recommend this bag, as it is super cute, affordable on Amazon, and very trendy nowadays.

4.0 out of 5 starsSchool Use
July 30, 2018
Color: GraphiteVerified Purchase
I’m a sophomore in high school and I bought this bag mainly for school use. The bag I ordered is in the color Graphite. The bag itself is big enough to fit all of my books, but I don’t use any binders instead I use a combination of folders and notebooks. When the bag arrived it was in perfect condition. There is one thing that I can say that I dislike about this bag and it’s the straps. The straps don’t have any pads so they tend to dig into my shoulders when my bag gets heavy and the way you have to adjust the straps is something that I don’t really care for. The bag can fit my 13in MacBook Pro with no problems. The color as shown in the photo is what you receive.
