Hi. I'm 52 years old now but I still have my old Kånken Classic from when I was a child. So impressed that they keep doing these durable backpack without changing the quality!
I really enjoyed your reviews. They are intelligent, well thought out and presented professionally. I also love the fact that ALL the products you present are REAL Fjällräven Kånken products. I have seen so many videos (unboxing and reviews), that are clearly knockoffs and the reviewer has no clue. I have purchased two Fjällräven #2 bags after watching your reviews. I purchased the Kånken #2 15” laptop bag and the #2 mini. Both of my bags were purchased from an authorized Fjallraven reseller to ensure I got the real Fjallraven quality products that I was paying good money for. Both of my bags tick all the authenticity checks of the bags you presented. Thanks for the tips and the review of the real Fjallraven products. Other presenters can learn a lot from you. Your reviews are much appreciated. BTW, obviously I have subscribed to your channel 🤓.
Very good review. I received mine just today. Ordered from the Fjallraven website to be on the safe side, so I don’t have to worry about it being a fake. Also, some of the new colors are $80 on their site. I have a ton of beautiful leather backpacks, but rain and snow will ruin the leather. I’m also 73 years old and can’t carry any big heavy backpacks anymore, especially when they’re heavy even when empty. This mini will be perfect for my travels and I won’t have to carry a purse, either. We’ll see how it stands up because I do travel a lot and go abroad twice a year for a month each time. It’s going to get a lot of use!
I have the mini. It's blinking fantastic! I love bags, including a number of designer ones for everyday use, however this is by far the most used bag in my collection.
I just got my Fjällräven Kånken mini backpack (purchased at Amazon) a few days ago. It is the perfect size for my needs and holds my notebook, pens, wallet, phone, hair brush and flat A6 water bottle. I, too, love the fabric. I plan on a trip to Morocco and it will be the perfect day pack. It will fit nicely in my larger underseat backpack storing all of my snacks for the flights. Thank you for your review (viewed after I purchased!).
I absolutely love your reviews. I was here about a year ago looking for Instax camera options and your videos helped me choose and now I'm back for the Kanken mini, and I think I'll be getting one! You are always so thorough!! The only thing i have to decide on now is the color.
ive had my kanken for almost 3 years now (13 inch) The only tiff i have is that because of the shade (its lavender) you can see that its dirty. But apart from that its still going strong and I love it. I recently brought a new one in the color "dusk" for when I start uni. But yeah overall kankens have amazing quality and I cant wait to continue using my dusk and lavender bags for years too come!
I do have the mini backpack. I stated out with the Forest Green that I picked up from a local general store. Then got the royal purple at REI in 2023 for 30% off. I didn’t need another one but for 30%, yes indeed I did. I put my keys in one outside pocket, my Motorola phone with a case in the other side pocket. I have a wallet, two of the Fjallraven pouches inside, a small notebook with room to spare. I keep my AirPods and my chapstick in the front pocket. I was a LugNut for years. Lug is a brand of luggage/bags, but finally bought me a Fjallraven and donated my Lug purses. This one is here to stay. I also do have the 15 inch laptop bag and another classic that I got at B&N at 50%. I couldn’t say no to 50% off. I said, yes, that is coming with me. ❤
I just purchsed a Mini 2 (black) from the official US site and I had to search how to adjust the straps and stumbled upon your video. Great little bag, I'm happy to have it!
Lengthening the straps to make it adult-ready was definitely a gruelling experience, i thought i was hacking the backpack until i came to this video which explained that was actually what was supposed to be done
This was the most comprehensive review of this mini backpack and ai thank you for it! Thanks for demonstrating the straps! I’ll be using it as a purse so I’ll order it right from their official site.
Just bought one for my son who's 3.5! Were going camping again in a week so thought he needed a proper backpack. Thanks for your input and enjoyed the video!
I have a big kanken and I recently purchased the weekender because I needed more space, and you’re right after five years my big kanken is in amazing shape with some very small tears at the bottom from being exposed to the rough floor, But other than that, amazing shape and quality.. So I think I might buy the mini as a toiletry bag
AND I have one of their jackets which i love AND I noticed them on the popular TV SCI-FI Program "The Rain" and thought they were cool. That's how I found out about them since I don't hang out with trendy people!
I love the Fjallraven Kanken bags. I have the sling and it’s amazing. Thinking of getting the mini now though for the more room. Haven’t 100% decided yet.
I was actually going to get the classic for uni but since it’s out of stock I ordered the mini ones instead for my everyday hang out bag I’m so excited 😻
Water resistance it is, but not dirt resistant I have one, but the dirt will come off. But if you get a light color one it dirt will come off but some won’t buy other then that it is a good bag I guess
I want to get this bc I hate carrying a purse it makes me feel so girly, I wanted to get a mini backpack for a while instead. I’m thinking if I should get a big one for school or a mini for everywhere, any suggestions of what I should get?
I think you should pick the big one … AND SAVE UP FOR THE MINI ONE! Okay, for real, I have the Ochre one size “classic” for more than a year, and I love it! It fits SO many of my school stuff (laptop, tons of notebooks, pencil cases, etc) yet they’re still some room left! I kinda use everywhere I go, too, and I feel stylish wearing it (cuz I added pins) I didn’t regret buying it! even though it’s expensive) So, I would prioritize getting a backpack for school more! Hope it helps :)
I am looking for a backpack for school and I really wanted one of these backpacks but the big ones are kind of expensive so I thought maybe I could get a smaller one. So could someone tell how much you can fit in a mini one and if it would be practical for school.
How is this is a review when it appears the bag is brand new and not used? Do you actually use this bag for a while and then for the video you show a new one? Just curious
These bags hold up pretty well. I have the Sling version (thinking of buying this version too), and that Sling has been through the wars, I’ve thrown it around and was not gentle with it AT ALL.. and well it still looks brand new. Though her bag does still have the tag on it.. so maybe she just has multiple of the same bag? 🤷🏼♀️ Either way, Fjallraven Kanken bags are really good quality and worth the price in my opinion. I’ve paid more for other bags and they never lasted long
I have had a mini for many years and I am certainly not a small child .....IT IS NOT A PURSE ...really bad comparison .. ...this bag fit an enormous amount of things in it.

Omg you’re ancient
@@gambitgambino1560 Well thank you!
@@asastalberg6836 you’re welcome
For a small child. Wouldn't it need air holes?
dark humor

Comes with a breathing apparatus!
HAHAHAHAHA. so funny
It's a pretty breathable fabric so it should be fine

She is soooo cute. I’m not talking about the bag lol

I’m using my mini as a purse for the Fall season. I LOVE it!!!! I also added the padded back straps to my mini to increase its comfort.
Thank you so much for putting ON the bag and giving your height for reference! It's been so hard to find a review with the bag worn.
This video is over 2 years old but you were the only one who showed me how to change the straps in a backpack thank you!!
I have the mini. It's blinking fantastic! I love bags, including a number of designer ones for everyday use, however this is by far the most used bag in my collection.

As a smol human I’m looking at this as a normal bag 😹
I absolutely love your reviews. I was here about a year ago looking for Instax camera options and your videos helped me choose and now I'm back for the Kanken mini, and I think I'll be getting one! You are always so thorough!! The only thing i have to decide on now is the color.

This looks like the perfect bag for my urban sketching kit. Thanks for the thorough review!

I love the black No 2! 🖤
Thinking about getting one. How does the leather trim hold up?
@@anxylum it holds up great! No issues. I love it and wear it everyday.
@@zensation9that’s awesome to know! Thank you. 🙏
Lengthening the straps to make it adult-ready was definitely a gruelling experience, i thought i was hacking the backpack until i came to this video which explained that was actually what was supposed to be done

Could you review Kanken Sling?
Just bought one for my son who's 3.5! Were going camping again in a week so thought he needed a proper backpack. Thanks for your input and enjoyed the video!
this is the best review for this model on youtube, thank you so much!!!
I will get one and use it as a purse :)) its so cute!
#studythingss s Macy’s is having a sale
Mariah del mar ahh wish I would’ve know that lol oh well, I order my Kånken mini from the official website and I love it 😊❤️
Saturn890 What color did you order ?
Exaclty I wanna use it as a purse cause I’m gonna be driving some
Only came here to learn how to say the name, but ended up staying because she’s so cute, fun, and informative! ☺️
I just bought mine this week. It’s in the color peach pink. It’s cute!
Amazing review. I’m looking for a dog walk bag and definitely leaning on this.
I use mine as a purse! I love it!
I have a big kanken and I recently purchased the weekender because I needed more space, and you’re right after five years my big kanken is in amazing shape with some very small tears at the bottom from being exposed to the rough floor,
But other than that, amazing shape and quality..
So I think I might buy the mini as a toiletry bag
I love the seat pad. I can't count how many times I used it, at the airport, during concerts, in the wild...
AND I have one of their jackets which i love AND I noticed them on the popular TV SCI-FI Program "The Rain" and thought they were cool. That's how I found out about them since I don't hang out with trendy people!
Thank you! All of the reviews I’ve watched are 5 minutes or less. Your review was well thought out and you gave lots of detail!
side pockets are meant for umbrellas 🤗
I love the Fjallraven Kanken bags. I have the sling and it’s amazing. Thinking of getting the mini now though for the more room. Haven’t 100% decided yet.
I also came with this same assesment and Thanks for the video , Appreciate it 👏😊
I do also buyed one
i got one about a year and a half ago and i LOVE it, it fits everything and more !!
I was actually going to get the classic for uni but since it’s out of stock I ordered the mini ones instead for my everyday hang out bag I’m so excited 😻
Robby Firdaus Macy’s is having a sale
I love the way you seriously said “for a small child” 😂- OH WAIT
I love the way u review the back pack. This video is werry helpful. Thank uu
This really helped me because the back part was worrying me
Thank you ❤️
I love it, going to get one. If I could I'd get one with a smaller logo, that one's too big for this size bag.
I think they’re also reflective for safety. Maybe that why it’s so big?
AndI just got one and wanted to understand these backstraps so thank you!
Very informative review, now I am decided what bag to get for daily use, thanks!
omg I love the bag after listening to you!
I’m wondering how the fabric compares to Kipling (which I’ve had many of) are they similar? 🤔
what color is the bag you reviewed in this video?
I just bought one, i liked it
Thank you for the review! I wish there was a way to make it a messenger bag (but bigger than their kanken sling version)
I was just thinking I wish they made the sling as a backpack. 😂
You should send this to fjallraven and get free product. If I was the founder/owner, you’d be getting some free products of your choice
Water resistance it is, but not dirt resistant I have one, but the dirt will come off. But if you get a light color one it dirt will come off but some won’t buy other then that it is a good bag I guess
I just ordered the mini off Zappos in Arctic Green.
I have regular and just decided to get a mini
I want to use the mini as a purse
Thank you. I am a brand new subscriber. 😁
Can't decide. I'd just probably get a mini and a classic. Lol
im just curious as why she bought is on amazon? kanken has a website
perhaps cheaper
Quicker checkout , faster shipping
Same. I would never buy it on Amazon. You’ll end up with a fake one. Expensive brands like these I always buy on their official sites.
I have a yellow ochre classic, and I just ordered a green mini✌🏼✨
Do a Re-Kånken review...I bough the blue one 😊
Edgar Pio I own the yellow and pink 🙈
I want to get this bc I hate carrying a purse it makes me feel so girly, I wanted to get a mini backpack for a while instead. I’m thinking if I should get a big one for school or a mini for everywhere, any suggestions of what I should get?
I think you should pick the big one … AND SAVE UP FOR THE MINI ONE!
Okay, for real, I have the Ochre one size “classic” for more than a year, and I love it! It fits SO many of my school stuff (laptop, tons of notebooks, pencil cases, etc) yet they’re still some room left!

Hope it helps :)
@@shakirakiya thanks so much for your suggestion. I think that’s what I’ll do because I will use it more probably for school! Thanks again!
@@hehehe6699 Of course :)
I have a classic one and just ordered a mini one. Excited to get it. Thanks for the review! Random question: are you canadian or american?
Good video i just bought one to my wife a christmas present. Perfect to have to work.
Great review getting one soon!
Great review! I have the classic and love it, thought I’d see what you thought of the mini.
Can an iPad Pro 11 inch fit?
LOOKING FOR A CAR BAG. Would this be to small? If so which one may work better? Thanks
Thks for the excellent review
can you fit the KANKEN BOTTLE POCKET?
I am going to get one today but the classic one.😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
I am looking for a backpack for school and I really wanted one of these backpacks but the big ones are kind of expensive so I thought maybe I could get a smaller one. So could someone tell how much you can fit in a mini one and if it would be practical for school.
Excellent review. Well researched and thorough. Can u do one for a kipling bag

A fairly sized and priced toiletry bag
Great review, thank you very much
I like your reviews! Is it possible to carry A4 book in it?
Здравствуйте.Благодарю за чудесный обзор.
Great, informative review
What !? Your videos are crazy good !! Well done. You could review laundry soap and I would still watch your content
Can you pls do one on the HotStyle extra mini back pack from Amazon.
So what to look for in the backpack that will indicate that it's a fake ? Anyone know ?
Great review!

Good review. I got one for my kid
Is this black color?
love these reviews! thank you so much, definitely exited to get mine!
how long are the straps
Nessa._.vlogs they are pretty long if you adjust them to as long as they can go, but they are adjustable to however long you want them.
Will the mini fit the 12inch MacBook?
no, but it does fit 11 inch ipad pro and/ or a 24oz waterbottle. It can fit both
I just bought the min in white
Helpful
