FjällrävenUnisex Rucksack Kanken Rucksack (pack of 1)

Bought for my daughter, it was great quality and well made.

I purchased this for my girlfriend with some hesitation. A lot of review here said it was fake, and I think in fairness some of them do look fake. But based on the high price, and Amazon’s refund policy, I took the gamble that I’d get a real one.On arrival, it was pretty squashed and almost vacuum packed, lots of creases. I read a fair few articles online and compared to a friends bay that was purchased in a genuine fjallraven store. I can confirm the bag I got is REAL!Best ways to tell are the stitching quality, if the front pocket has a large crease, and stiffness of the material. Genuine bags are made of a really stiff material that creases when folded up.I followed instructions and hand washed the bag first to avoid my girlfriends back becoming a yellow hue from the colour - abs it dried within a day.After that, we used it for a few weeks, filling it up, taking it in the rain, and we were really happy!Pro’s;Water resistance is great.Really sturdy!The big box shape means you can pack it really well.Cons;The zips are covered, to help with water resistance, but it makes them tricky to get to in a rush.The adjustable straps on the arms feel a bit weird, they adjust by pulling upwards, and you get a bit dangling strap... most backpacks adjust downwards so it’s harder to notice.Overall - great quality and should last YEARS of heavy use.

I don't usually write reviews but today I will make an exception! After rave reviews about this "high quality" rucksack I thought I'd take the plunge and get this for my daughter for when she returns back to school. I have been lead to believe that this awesome rucksack could potentially last year's as it's rugged and made with exceptional quality and has been built on years of testing, but wow, was I wrong to believe this.. When this arrived I was dubious about it's longevity, yes the rucksack looked nice but the material felt horrible and already had wear marks on it like it's been rubbed on something, the material does not feel premium and feels hard, stiff and very cheap! Is this the real deal? I'm not sure, everything seems to be authentic, but just doesn't feel right. A few days of light use at school and it already looked as if my daughter had it for 2 years! 2 weeks later and it looks beat up, material looks worn already and wearing on the edges and everywhere there's a crease there's wear like the materials is being rubbed off, don't even try and wipe it lightly with a damp cloth else it's scrubs the material and makes it bitty. How in the world can people say they've had these for 10 plus years? My other daughter has a fake version of the laptop size one of these and that material feels much better and she has had this for 3 years and not even a mark on it and she treats it harshly!! Maybe it's just just the colour I chose, or is it? I'm not too sure what I have bought here but for some reason this rucksack will not see and term in school before it looks ratty!! Gutted. I will never buy another Kanken product ever again. I hope who ever else buys one of these that there's is of better quality then the tat that I got. What a shame it is and for the money I paid I could've used this money on something else. Good luck!!

The product is fantastic, as you’d expect, and is not my first from this brand. However, I ordered Deep Red and received Rowan Red, which is more of a burnt orange colour. Disappointing as I searched everywhere for red and this was the only place with it in stock, only to still not get the right one.

Great school bag and fits loads as well as being waterproof. Some 'marks' appeared with first use that look like colour fade, thankfully not spread any further but has left a couple patches on the bag.

The bag is so easy to use, I have put pins on it and unlike my old backpack, it didn't get ripped when I put the pins on it.The quality of the bag is amazing, I highly recommend it for anyone who goes to school. As a sixth former, the size of the bag is great, I can easily fit 2 textbooks and 3 exercise books plus my pencil case.Highly recommend purchasing the bag.

Okay, I wouldn't pay the price - put I know it's still fantastically low for what it should be.The Material is water proof and it holds my huge laptop well, although the material is quite thin, so if I drop it my laptop is frankly, dead.I love how cute this bag is, and the sewing of the handles is so secure I know it'll last long. There's a little part inside for writing your name which is clear if you ever happen to lose it and a back pocket for any paper you don't want ripped/ruined or for more personal items. The side pockets are maybe a little too thin to hold my huge purse (but that's my fault for buying a huge purse) but can hold your phone, bus pass etc really well, and they're so low, you'll know if someone was trying to steal them. The front pocket is a little smaller than the picture, but is nice for holding anything you like, and has a zip to keep it secure.This came lovingly packaged, but was still quite creased, (nothing an over-night puffing can't take away.)Really nice! :)

My partner has this in navy which cost 2x the price. Bought this for our teenage daughter as she could not decide on a school bag and I saw a deal.Long story short, she did not rate the colour but my partner was quick to claim so it wasn’t sent back.Very girl about town look. Always see everywhere when touring around London. Good quality, bit of a tardis and durable.I did make sure that it was shipped and sold by Amazon as of you have a quick tour around any market you can find moody knock off’s but you can tell this the real deal.
