Kånken Original Backpack

I like everythink on your design but I can’t decide which model is right for me. I need a medium size but at the same time has to be elegant . I want to use it for work therefore the backpack has to be comfortable and elegant bag .

Mine is 6 years old now and probably needs to be replaced but for Co text I use it EVERY day. It’s been a work bag, a day trip bag, laptop bag, nappy change bag, everything bag. The best purchase ever

I have been gifted this backpack a few years ago, and used it VERY lightly. As I picked it un a feb days ago, I have seen that one of the shoulder straps is detaching from the base of the backpack. And I do not mean the actual strap, I mean the angle-y part Made of the same material of the rest of the body… a bit upset

great little bag, stylish, fits a lot more than expected. i fell into a creek on a hike and nothing in my bag got wet and i had my powerbank in there so thats a plus !! however it stains sooooo easily, i have the peach colour and its basically grey now, partly from my coat and partly from the london underground. tried to clean it but its hardly budging. i recommend getting a darker colour.

I bought a Kankan backpack for my daughter ten years that has lasted all this time. I bought myself one about two years ago and they are not the same quality. The zipper broke on my backpack within just a year! I took it in to get fixed, but it broke again after just a few months. I took it in a second time to be fixed and it broke AGAIN. What a huge disappointment. The quality has gone way down. I would not buy another bag from this company. I’ve recommended this company to many people and now I regret it.

I purchased the "Design your own" Kanken. I am thoroughly satisfied! The colors are rich and I'm pleased with the accuracy of the pigments compared to the image online. The material is thick and not cheaply made at all. This backpack packs a good amount for my day hikes and weekend urban exploration and museum hopping. Love my Kanken :D

I bought mine in the ochre colour 8 years ago and have used it consistently for about 4 of them. After washing it with lukewarm water, a sponge and fabriic detergent the colour has faded significantly and is almost white or beige on some spots. Having followed the instructions, I am incredibly disappointed that colour has faded so much with a simple wash by hand, especially when I have followed instructions. Considering the price and reputation of quality I expected much better. I am looking into dying it now because it looks way too distressed. The seams have also come apart in some places, but I guess I can easily fix that myself. I don't think I would every buy another one considering the price and colour fading. Other than that no complaints, but I think the quality is overhyped.

I wish I could love this bag as much as a lot of folks do but I do not. I was so happy upon receiving my dark navy blue backpack with rainbow stripe straps, but after wearing a white shirt the blue coloring rubbed all over my back and ruined my white shirt

I own 3 of them. 2 mini & two classics in different colors and I love it so much!! I use for work and my lunchbox slips right into it perfectly. There's enough pockets for me and I use the large padded pocket to hold my kindle.

I have had this bag since 2017 and I beat the crap out of it and it has held up beyond my expectations. . The only thing I wish is that I could wash it better, because I am so hard on my stuff. I would put one more strip of padding on the bottom of the area for the laptop and two way zippers for the front little pocket, One other suggestion is for the side pockets where you can put your drinks it would be cool if one of those was a little longer, and you could zip it up.. ..This bag is very well made, nothing has come apart, nothing has had to be replaced and all the zippers are intact at almost 8 years since purchase with daily use!

I was bought this for my 11th birthday and now 7 years on it still remains my favourite backpack. It has never broken and has minimal obvious signs of wear. This is a really good quality backpack

I bought the one in Singapore, and the quality and strength of this backpack is AMAZING. I think the seat pad it comes with is very useful and helpful too. Overall, amazing design. It's fashionable, strong, and you can match it with almost anything. Please continue to make bore bags like this. Love y'all!

About to buy my second one of these, I bought mine back in 2016 and it has come with me on every single trip abroad, been used as a daily bag through university, and now comes to work with me regularly. It's like a tardis fitting absolutely loads in, and the fact it opens all the way around means I can easily access everything inside! It's also much more aesthetically pleasing having thin straps, and by some magic seems to be better for my back than any other bag I've used! It's a bit worn and torn now but has lasted me YEARS and I really have used it for everything! I wish they were a bit more affordable but can't really complain when the quality is so good

I’ve had my last kanken for 8 years and have just bought a different colour. I’ve used it daily and it is still in excellent condition, the bags are durable, easy to clean and timeless. Well worth the price
