The bag that started it all, the iconic Fjallraven Kanken Backpack was originally designed as a solution for the back problems experienced by Swedish children when carrying their cumbersome backpacks to school. Based around the size of two A4 ring binders, the Kanken bag has since exploded onto the world stage and is as much at home on the back of a school child in Europe as it is on a commuter in Tokyo. This popular Fjallraven backpack is made from a durable, water resistant Vinylon F fabric which means that these backpacks are not only timeless in style, but with proper care will last for years to come. Committed to creating hardwearing, sustainable pieces, the Fjallraven Kanken bag is manufactured with little to no waste per bag, meaning not only does the Kanken look great, but it feels all the better knowing it has a low carbon footprint. The main compartment of the Kanken bag is incredibly spacious, and the bag also features a convenient front zipped pocket for easy access of your essentials, and two side pockets which are ideal for maps or guide books etc. The Kanken can be carried in the conventional sense with the two webbed shoulder straps, or easily grabbed on the go by the handles at the top. If you need to take the weight off your feet, the Kanken offers a padded seat pad in the back of the bag which also acts as a spinal cushion for added support. Perfect for school, commuting or travelling, the Fjallraven Kanken Backpack is the ideal rucksack for everyday use.
