5.0 out of 5 starsTips to tell if your Kanken is real.
July 31, 2018
When I first saw the reviews I was hesitant to buy this because the amount of people saying they got a fake bag, but I bit the bullet and prayed to get a real bag, which I did. If you can tell the difference between a real Kanken and a fake Kanken then it’s up to you if you want to buy this, if not Urban Outfitters is a good resaler for the Fjallraven Kanken but the colors are limited, if you are looking for a more broad color range, the Fjallraven website is the way to go if you don’t trust amazon.

Real Kanken Attributes
-WASA 6 on button back
-Fjallraven Kanken logo on bag should be reflective with flash but matte regularly, it should not be glittery of shiny
-inside tag should have a sweden flag as shown on the picture
-stitching should be nice and not sloppy
-emblem above “by appointment to h.m the king of Sweden” should be multi colored
-Kanken pamphlet is inside smaller section of bag
-straps and handles should have an H pattern, not a V pattern
-Fjallraven logo on three buttons should face downwards
-bag foam should be of high quality and not flimsy and thin
-Bag material is made of Vinylon-F which is tough, rough and sturdy material

1.0 out of 5 starsFake! Please be aware :)
April 3, 2019
I got this bag at the very beginning of the school year, and I thought it was authentic after checking the reviews and it seemed safe. Nobody at my school had a kanken, so I’ve been using it for majority of the school year without too much of a problem.

It’s now March, and some of my friends have also pitched a kanken, yet.... theirs is actually authentic. Everything my backpack has is a very impressive copy, such as the reflective logo, the zippers, the “H” stitching and labels inside (I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these are actually authentic). The material of my bag is listed as “polyvinyl alkohol”, but it’s ISN’T actually polyvinyl alkohol. I compared it to my friend’s kanken (the authentic one), and polyvinyl alkohol is supposed to have a more durable, sturdier, stiffer, and weather-grip-like feel to it. My backpack is flimsier, and made out of cheaper fabric that is starting to have strings near the seams, which is not typical of a kanken backpack.

I’m unsure on what to do next, as I spent $80 on something that should’ve been the real thing, and got this from a seller that was guaranteed to be authentic. All I can say is, I wouldn’t recommend buying from amazon, but rather buy from the official website, Nordstrom, or Urban Outfitters.

5.0 out of 5 starsTake a few seconds to read this before you buy.
June 20, 2019
Color: SandVerified Purchase
I'll be honest with y'all, I had my doubts about this. I bought an original kanken on the Fjallraven store on Sweden a couple of years ago, and I have to say it's one of the most classic, clean-looking pieces that I've acquired, not to mention the durability of the material. When I read the reviews on this here product I thought to myself that I might've acquired a fake or something like that, as well as I thought that the size was too small, since it came very compressed on a tiny bag. However, I've thoroughly inspected and compare every detail between the bag I bought a couple of years ago and the one I ordered from here, and I gotta say that, everything is just on point. There is no difference at all whatsoever, the stitching, the reflective material, the bag composition. If this is a replica then it has to be a true 1:1 because there really is nothing different between them other than the color. I believe this is an original product and would encourage anyone that'd like to acquire one of this bags to do so from this seller.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect bag for school, make sure you purchase from a legitimate seller
August 5, 2017
Color: SandVerified Purchase
Purchased my Kanken from Happy Haus, and was concerned about receiving a fake one considering the amount of reviews that said they received a fake Kanken. After comparing my bag to the other photos of real Kankens, I'm pretty sure that mine is real, and I've attached a photos that are features that should be in a real Kanken, including the Kanken infograph, the YKK on the side of the zipper, the Fjallraven/Wolf logos on each side of the zipper, the inside logo, and the tag. The bags are made in Vietnam, so an instant giveaway of a fake is that it is made in a different country.

Onto the bag itself, it's quite stiff, but can hold everything I need as a student. Keep in mind, however, that the side pockets are essentially useless if you intend to use them to hold water bottles - I've tried multiple bottles and they are all too large, but the bag is large enough for me to place the bottle inside of the bag. It's a lot roomier than I thought it would be, considering my previous backpack was one of those large student Jansport backpacks, but it really does hold everything I would need for a typical day. I haven't had it for long, so I can't comment on its durability, but I think that this bag will last me a while.

I bought this backpack to use as a diaper bag for my toddler. It's super cute and doesn't overwhelm my frame like some diaper backpacks out there. I love that it fully unzips in the front making everything easily accessible - also really helpful through bag check lines at places like Disney. My two biggest gripes are that the straps are not comfortable with too much weight or all day wear and the side pockets are not big enough to hold a water bottle.

It was a nice back pack, color was cool. I got sand so when I do want to use it outside you won’t be able to see if dirt gets on it. However on the straps there was a lot of threads/stitching out of place. That’s why I will be returning it and possibly ordering another or going to an actual store.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Perfect Jack-Of-All-Trades Bag
January 5, 2017
Color: SandVerified Purchase
I never heard of this company until this purchase. I researched it for quite some time and came to the conclusion it was perfect for me. It is mainly my gym bag and comfortably fits a pair of shoes, pants, shirt, a fitted hat and with some fudging a shaker bottle. The material seems really strong and incredibly light. I really like the handles on the top but had to find out how the shoulder straps adjust. Pro tip: unsnap them and pull them out all the way ha ha, too simple go figure. I haven't got to use it as a day pack yet for hiking but it has survived a few mild Colorado snow storms so far and is really water resistant. The reflective logo is cool too and very Swedish, some of the Swedes I work with got all nostalgic when I brought it to work for the first time. Guess it is a childhood staple over there like my plastic cartoon adorned lunch box with thermos was here as a kid. All in all it is great. I bought through Amazon Prime to make sure I got a real one since I guess fakes are common and yes it is real. I am looking forward to buying other Kanaken products now that I know about this company!

My kids and I all have these bags. We love them. We use them year after year, no buying new ones. I even have the mini for a quick trip, my theme park "purse" or hikes in the woods.

September 10, 2015
Color: SandVerified Purchase
I bought this backpack for my third year of college, hopefully it'll last me the next couple of years! Maybe even through grad school! When I was considering buying it I had reservations because I thought it be too small, but it's perfect! I love the quality of the material and the sleek lines. The only slight complaint I have is during days that my backpack is very heavy because it's filled with my macbook, camelbak, notebook, and a textbook or two I do find myself wishing the straps were a bit nicer.

I LOVE it so much. The only think I don’t like sooo much is the straps, it was never really showed as much in reviews and such but the strapped when buttoned are too tight but if you loosen them a by you have these long straps hanging off that’s kind of annoying. Overall I’m SOOOOO happy with it I’ve been wanting one of these for a long while now :) great quality will have this for a long time :)

It doesn’t fit my laptop and the arm strap really only have two lengths- small child and way too loose. I don’t got why these are not adjustable beyond those two options. Bummed out as I really liked the look of this...
