Review on 🎒 Fjallraven Kanken Laptop Backpack: The Versatile Everyday Companion! by Beth Campbell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I'm totally kanken, but not a fan of fakes.

I bought my first 15 inch Fjällräven Kånken laptop in 2012 and took it with me every day to school, to work, to different countries and on many trips. It's phenomenal. The backpack is incredibly durable and has a deceptively large size. It easily fits my MacBook, on-ear headphones, a couple of books/notebooks, pencils/pens/felt pens, small organizer bags, water bottles, small speakers, and raincoats. I liked my bag so much that I bought my friend Kånken while visiting a Fjällräven store in Sweden. The original product is phenomenal, unfortunately the Ox Red Kånken I received was just a fake. The circular logo was an odd hue and it was missing the protective "pouch" that I found on my bag and the one I bought in Sweden (again, those two are genuine) between the different parts of the bag (the bottom one Line of "box", bottom line of front pocket, etc.) were higher than on my model (both 15"). Vinylon-F, used in all Kånkens, is tough but weakens over time, but the model I received seemed completely different to me - thicker but also more flexible - than any other model I've seen.I even compared the model they sent me to some new ones in the store, and the differences are pretty obvious product i love so much my friends joke about taking my bag everywhere and i feel that fjällräven is second to none in terms of product quality and brand mission however i dont want anyone to get it It is a product of inferior quality to that which the company has put so much effort into making. Either way, it's a nice bag, but Fjällräven is a Swedish icon and the brand built its reputation on quality long before assholes like me were lugging cameras around with it. Great bag and definitely worth paying for. if real.
