hi everybody!! this video was made almost a year ago (so crazy) everyday I wish I could go back and re-film the part of the video about the foam pad. I know now it is supposed to be there lmao. thank you so much for your continue support and feel free to check out my other content as well!! much love 💞
Kanken bags are expensive af. I bought a fake kanken for 20 euros, yes, it's fake, but it looks real so who cares. i'm happy, my wallet is happy, everything's fine
can you please tell me how did you find your site because I bought one for 20 euros but it says it was on sale and the add for the site was on instagram and I doubt it that insta would promote fake stuff - www.raven-backpack.com/en/ thats the site link so mby it is simmilar like yours ????
www.ebay.com.au/itm/Unisex-Fjallraven-Kanken-Backpack-Travel-Shoulder-School-Bags-Brand-7L-16L-20L-/392021410596 i bought two bags from this link, they both came and looked legitimate and they're cheap. no one knew they were probably fake :)
the ‘back support’ is actually similar to the real thing, it’s just a little rough and without the fjällräven kånken sticker that comes with the original.
if your reason for not being able to use the bag is bc of the "small straps" then you could totally adjust them!! the buttons are MEANT to snap off and you're supposed to be able to elongate that whole strap!! the buttons are merely there for when you want to use it as a tote bag so the straps aren't flying everywhere. also, you should probably keep that foam pad in bc it does come w/ actual kankens and acts as padding/support so your bag doesn't bend like it did when you were trying to adjust the straps in this vid. oof that was a lot I'm so so sorry if this sounds harsh or if it seems like I'm trying to come off as some kinda smartass, but I really just wanted you to be able to use the bag so you get something out of your money?? it looks p real so I just thought this would kinda soften the blow
himerus thank you for the information!! unfortunately even when i leave the pad in the back the bag still will fold in on itself. I don’t know why this is, like the straps will also not go past a certain length. also the buttons are not secure what so ever.. they just pop off when i move my arms in the slightest. thank you for the helpful information though!
when i got my first kanken it took my ages to figure this out with the straps haha i had to google how to adjust them and figured out i had to unsnap the buttons first
leah.mermaid the buttons are supposed to snap off. if you want to wear it as a backpack the buttons aren’t supposed to be buttoned. it confused me when i bought mine too but it’s like that on all of them. hope this helps
himerus i'm not sure if you know, But the foam in the bag does give a bit of support... But it's actually a mat for you to sit on when you're out and About in the park or something
yess please give a link? i already have a genuine kanken and i want a fake in a different colour because i don’t want to pay full price for another kanken when i already have a genuine? idk i just want a cheap kanken tbf lmao
hello everyone! I just wanted to make a lil update on the bag. the straps on MY bag personally are not able to be adjusted.. I have tried multiple times and no luck. also I am aware that the real ones come with a foam insert, it’s just the one I received is terrible quality and nothing like the insert that comes in kanken bags. I appreciate all of the advice and support I have been given!! thanks everyone 💗
leah.mermaid open the button and adjust the straps. Oh i don't know if it's already Said But the kånken Bags don't really have a back support. That foam thing is supposed to be a mat to sit on when you're out and About in the park. Oh and from what i've heard.. The New real Bags don't have the Swedish flag by the nametag anymore But sorry this happend to you
leah.mermaid i ordered a kanken bag and i was very excited about it, and it also looked very real. but when it arrived it was very terrible quality and the straps couldn’t be adjusted either, and it was totally the wrong shade of yellow.
Another way you can tell if the Kanken is fake is by the material because the fake ones are usually made of a cheaper thin fabric where as the real one is made of a canvas which is splash proof
Hey girl! This actually sucks, but I just wanted to let you know that the pad in the back of the bag is not for back support. Rather the crossing position in the back straps gives you the back support. The foam padding is meant to be a seat cushion for when you are hiking and legit kankens have them too. I just wanted to let you know so when you do get a real one you aren’t surprised! Much love and have a good trip💓
the fact that I made this video to help people avoid this situation and I am still getting mean comments for no reason. I appreciate the people that are genuinely giving good criticism, but some of your comments are just mean. If you have any questions or want to talk to me feel free to dm me on ig. thank you guys again! I hope your weeks are going well.
diana and leah this video came out on my birthday, and a kanken backpack was on my birthday list, i didn’t get it, but, hopefully i’ll get one for my next birthday. 😬. (july 17 is my bday)
the padding in the back also comes with real bags. i thought it was just a protective sleeve for where you put your laptop or whatever goes. actually he company says that it’s a butt pad for when you sit on grassy fields or on the ground. idk i always throw it out
Omg I’m so sorry! I got one from Urban Outfiters, so I knew mine was going to be real. You’ve really got to be careful, people are so dishonest these days. Hope you can get your hands on a new one soon! Much love! Edit: WHAT IS THAT SEAT PAD OMG
I just tried that.. they couldn’t cancel the payment because it was already cleared.. but they did tell me to file a dispute with my bank for quality/authenticity of product fraud. And most likely your bank will refund the money
Omg there was an Instagram ad that said they were selling discounted kanken and looked at the site and it was almost identical as the original site and when I was buying the bag, i Looked up the original site and they were sold out so I nearly spent 40 dollars on a fake bag
I was on this site too with my mother but we didn't realize it was fake... Now when i go back on the same website it's obvious it's fake... I spent my money for this fake kanken
you can send a message to the real company and tell them about it!! A friend of mine did that and they found the account thats selling these fake bags!!!
Contact the company! They are known for trading in the fake ones for real ones! I heard from numerous people who got cheated out of their money because it was fake! Hope this helps!
Melody Morel no don’t give her a free bag, because she is completely stupid and it’s her own fault... never buy off of a website like depop, especially for well-known brands 😑 smh seriously? Shouldn’t basic logic come naturally when making a decision like that?
girl, when the seller told you that they couldn't refund you because their account "got deleted", that is not true at all!! you can file a claim with depop and then escalate it with PayPal if thats how you paid and you will get your money back! it's happened to me and I got refunded.
yeah the good back support thing comes from the lightweight make of the bag and how the staps are made, however if you get a legitimate kanken you should receive a pamphlet (some people don't) that tells you to keep the foam for comfort
I don't know why kankens are all of sudden are getting popular I grew up with a kanken I'm 13 It makes me sad to see that people are fakeing kankens :(
i'm honestly so sorry that happened. to anyone who is considering buying one i recommend buying from the official site, urban outfitters, or nordstrom. those are just some sites that sell official ones that i know of. although getting one that is discounted sounds nice, i would just recommend buying the real thing. the official kanken website does have some sales at the moment too!
oops. well i guess i have a fake one. I realized when me and my friend compared her kanken bought on the original website and mine bought on amazon. It said my kanken is original, it had all original papers and stuff. now I'm mad. I would like a new one. i can't send it back.
2:35 it’s a Swedish company but they manufacture most of their stuff in China and Vietnam... They do that bc it’s so much cheaper (including labor) to manufacture in foreign countries😊😂 but yesss we all have to be careful on where we buy Kanken Backpacks bc a fake one will look very similar to the original/authentic one😬
this exact thing happened to me... i honestly feel your pain, my mum doesn’t even trust depop anymore as that was our first purchase... so that sucks as i know lots of stuff is genuine but ya know. i’m glad you have made this to help more people like us !!
the buttons are supposed to pop open!!! thats the whole kanken concept, to get it as little as possible so you can use it as a ‘handbag’ with the hand straps.
for everyone who is going to buy a kanken off of ebay (or any thing like that) take a screen shot of the persons profile first then buy it. and screen shot the address so you can send it back if it is fake
Honestly, if you can afford it you should get a real Kanken backpack. Everyone is commenting about getting a fake one because they don't care if people can't tell its fake. I have one with the laptop part that I have used for years. They are super durable. I recently got a Kanken mini for walks with my puppy and its totally worth the money. I saved up for it, I know it's a little expensive but I'll be using it for years to come. If I had bought a fake it wouldn't last as long and I would have to buy something new again.
kankens r actually rlly amazing DEFIANTLY always buy a real one :}} its rlly princy but they pay their workers fairly, made with AMAZING material, & they can last u YEARS.
Actually most of the bags like the regular and the mini are assembled in China while the 15’ laptop one is assembled in Vietnam. I remember seeing this info on a video about the comparisons of the different versions of the bags.
after scrolling through the comments and not finding anyone address this issue, i'd like to add that the stitching of the logo and the front straps being seen from the inside is in fact the same as on a legit kanken. i have multiple kankens and all of them have this. aLSO i realize the straps should be adjustable, but a lot of people don't realize that kankens, invented specifically for back comfort, are meant to be worn more closely to the body. this balances out weight easier so the bag doesn't stress out your back as much. while im here i'd also like to know why some people have claimed to get swedish fish with their kankens????? jw
I always get this page recomended on my instagram called kankenoutlet.com please don’t buy it! It has no reviews and the only review says It’s a lawnmower (suspicious right) so I decided not to purchase on the website. It’s really not worth it.
Everything Todo i got that instagram ad too, I almost buy one because it seems sooo real. The prices are insanely cheap and they claim to have free worldwide shipping. I was rly sad when I found out that it was fake, I saw the reviews that were from a chainsaw. Please don’t fall with the fake ass websites.
i own a real kanken from the store. a while ago i bought a bigger one from this store called “kanken stores”. it was suppose to be a 17’ laptop bag. it didn’t come with the laptop pocket or the padded sleeves. the company ended up refunded me and now i have the free bag. i don’t know what i’m suppose to do with the fake bag. i don’t want to sell it and i don’t want to use it at the same time ya know
I ordered an original size bag on Depop so that I would have one for school, and I was super super excited about it I paid $60 for it and ,it was used so I expect it to be like not in perfect condition and when it came and had no Swedish flag on the inside the stitching was horrible and there was loose strings all over the whole entire bag and at first i thought it maybe because it’s used but I’m pretty sure it’s just because the stitching was crappy I understand your frustration I’m asking for a mini kanken for Christmas so that I could have one that is like a purse and I’m gonna order it off the real website so I don’t get scammed on this one !
awwww i feel so bad for you i have one kanken mini and one normal school backpack size and my mom has the same two sizes as well. next time and i know they are lots of money but next time just buy your bag from urban outfiters i got mine from a store named old soul :(
you can adjust the straps and let the button off because the button is only necessary if you want to just hold it with your hand and not wear it on your back
I bought a fake one, £12.99. It was brilliant quality. Came on time. No scam! It looks exactly the same, it has a flag inside. No loose threads and amazing quality!
uhhhhh i’m scared i bought a kanken off the hydro flask website and it was like 50$$ so someone please reply if you bought yours off the hydro flask website and tell me if it is fake
i got a fjallraven kanken for £50, cut down from £80 its realllll! i got it in yellow, as it’s my favourite colour and it was the only one on offer and it was the last one! i had been wanting one for ages and i finally got one, i believe the shop is only in UK so i recommend you just get it off the official website or from the store :) ily 🤟
When you tighten the bag you aren’t supposed to re do the buttons they are there for when the bag is all the way tightened so they aren’t flying everywhere. Trust me I have an authentic kanken and it does that.
Hey! To anyone that's panicking on whether they bought a fake or authentic Fjallraven backpack because the double dots on top of the A's are bold and the one circle is attached to the A in the word Kanken, DON'T PANIC. Apparently many newer backpacks manufactured during 2017/2018 have newer logos with the circle attached to the A (backpacks with the "Kanken Original" tag.) Some people who have bought the backpack from the official website have noticed this change although it's a bit rare. Also, please don't take the foam pad that comes on the back of the backpack; it supports its shape and will cost money to buy a new one.
just in case a real bag is not an option for whatever reason, i have a fake regular that i use roughly every day that is lasting easily with that use. it cost 25 aus dollars and is very effective if you can't afford a real bag
Got my mini from a local store today for $35 which was insane!! But I’m pretty sure it’s real! It’s like an actual legit brand of department store so i think and hope lol
The straps are tricky to figure out. I bought a real one and thought they wouldn’t adjust. Watch a tutorial on it. There’s a trick with the snap buttons at the bottom. You have to like shimmy them out through one of the loops
SKSJSJJSJS the “back support” is actually a seat for sitting on the ground and rocks and stuff. authentic kånkens have them too... theyre a common product in sweden, like every preeschooler has one lmao but i guess theyre not international??
soph: i cant tell if youre disagreeing with me or not? i also have a real kånken and there isnt really any back support in it, although the thingy kind of works as support instead
It bugs me, no other company I could care less... the reason why they cost so much is because of the fact they are recyclable and originally for hiking etc.
Something similar happened to me with this backpack just report fraud with the company of your card and most likely they will refund you, that's how I got my money back. I fell for the discounted price too, you are not the only one. lol
Candace Short mee tooo I just called my bank and made a claim dude I emailed these people and the way they emailed just confirmed they were frauds. Unprofessional emailing ettiqute. I never got a confirmation number
So I bought one on the website I believe and got an email but it was like $45 ish. So I’m thinking now that I might not have been paying attention to the site. I ordered it early July and now it’s mid August. I was promised 5-7 business days. Does anyone know what happened or can help?
leah.mermaid :(( i feel bad for you too. mine was from an ad i saw from instagram. then then it took me to a website that looked exactly like the fjällräven website claiming they were on sale so i bought one. well it took about a month to arrive and mine also shipped from china which seemed sketchy to me too.

Just buy straight from Fjallraven guys
Breanna Fowler that’s the tea, and i agree
or amazon, I got mine there for about £55 which is much cheaper than the £80 on the Fjallraven website.
Wow £55 is a really good price for an authentic kanken, please send me the link
Or urban outfitters
Izzy 💕 me too! I’m on my second bag and I LOVE them

I saved up for it, I know it's a little expensive but I'll be using it for years to come. If I had bought a fake it wouldn't last as long and I would have to buy something new again.
kankens r actually rlly amazing DEFIANTLY always buy a real one :}} its rlly princy but they pay their workers fairly, made with AMAZING material, & they can last u YEARS.
Actually most of the bags like the regular and the mini are assembled in China while the 15’ laptop one is assembled in Vietnam. I remember seeing this info on a video about the comparisons of the different versions of the bags.
Okay but anybody else obsessed with her personality 😭 I want to be her bestfriend
peyton williams w o w you are the sweetest, let’s be best friends 🤪

Ik this is really random but the song in your into is in my playlist and when I heard it. I had a jam session. Thank you for that.
Angie House ahaha I love that
Me: * bought my kånken from the official fjällräven sight *
Also me: * still checks to see if it’s real *
I LOVE HOW YOUR DOOR LOOKS LIKE A PIANO THATS THE CUTEST💕👏
Julia _mw aaa thank u!!
after scrolling through the comments and not finding anyone address this issue, i'd like to add that the stitching of the logo and the front straps being seen from the inside is in fact the same as on a legit kanken. i have multiple kankens and all of them have this. aLSO i realize the straps should be adjustable, but a lot of people don't realize that kankens, invented specifically for back comfort, are meant to be worn more closely to the body. this balances out weight easier so the bag doesn't stress out your back as much. while im here i'd also like to know why some people have claimed to get swedish fish with their kankens????? jw
I always get this page recomended on my instagram called kankenoutlet.com please don’t buy it! It has no reviews and the only review says It’s a lawnmower (suspicious right) so I decided not to purchase on the website. It’s really not worth it.
Everything Todo i got that instagram ad too, I almost buy one because it seems sooo real. The prices are insanely cheap and they claim to have free worldwide shipping. I was rly sad when I found out that it was fake, I saw the reviews that were from a chainsaw. Please don’t fall with the fake ass websites.
i own a real kanken from the store. a while ago i bought a bigger one from this store called “kanken stores”. it was suppose to be a 17’ laptop bag. it didn’t come with the laptop pocket or the padded sleeves. the company ended up refunded me and now i have the free bag. i don’t know what i’m suppose to do with the fake bag. i don’t want to sell it and i don’t want to use it at the same time ya know
i got mine from urban outfitters bc i didn’t wanna risk spending a lot of money if the bag was gonna be a fake
I ordered an original size bag on Depop so that I would have one for school, and I was super super excited about it I paid $60 for it and ,it was used so I expect it to be like not in perfect condition and when it came and had no Swedish flag on the inside the stitching was horrible and there was loose strings all over the whole entire bag and at first i thought it maybe because it’s used but I’m pretty sure it’s just because the stitching was crappy I understand your frustration I’m asking for a mini kanken for Christmas so that I could have one that is like a purse and I’m gonna order it off the real website so I don’t get scammed on this one !
The bag straps have buttons that can snap off and be adjusted
Can I have the link of where you bought it from pls
i'm so sorry that happened to you that's so frustrating! i hope you eventually got the real kanken that you wanted
AMB thank you, I appreciate it ❤️
With kankens it's something that's best to buy new and from the official website
My kanken came in the mail a couple days ago from amazon and it’s real
How much was it?
Melissa Star $50
i don’t know um amazon ? 😐
i don’t know i bought real one from amazon, the shop is bigtree.eu (they also have their own web) and they'r located in Germany
me too :)
awwww i feel so bad for you i have one kanken mini and one normal school backpack size and my mom has the same two sizes as well. next time and i know they are lots of money but next time just buy your bag from urban outfiters i got mine from a store named old soul :(
you can adjust the straps and let the button off because the button is only necessary if you want to just hold it with your hand and not wear it on your back
I bought a fake one, £12.99. It was brilliant quality. Came on time. No scam! It looks exactly the same, it has a flag inside.
No loose threads and amazing quality!
It was just of eBay
Nuttychestnutmare wow! ur lucky
I really wanted to buy this bag ever since!! But it is so expensive for the authentic one. Though I would never buy a fake/counterfeit product
uhhhhh i’m scared i bought a kanken off the hydro flask website and it was like 50$$ so someone please reply if you bought yours off the hydro flask website and tell me if it is fake
I got mine from amazon and after watching a load of videos I found out it was authentic😌😌
i got a fjallraven kanken for £50, cut down from £80 its realllll! i got it in yellow, as it’s my favourite colour and it was the only one on offer and it was the last one! i had been wanting one for ages and i finally got one, i believe the shop is only in UK so i recommend you just get it off the official website or from the store :)
ily 🤟
the real ones have that plastic/ foam back support thing in them too
I have to un buckle it and pull it through the black loop and loosen it
When you tighten the bag you aren’t supposed to re do the buttons they are there for when the bag is all the way tightened so they aren’t flying everywhere. Trust me I have an authentic kanken and it does that.
“i’m feeling festive” 😂😂
on the fake ones. the zipper has a bump on the end like yours had
SavannahGrace yep! unfortunately I was not aware enough when i bought the bag, on how identical the fakes could look at first glance
leah.mermaid yeah i feel so bad. it’s so stupid how people make fake ones
real kankens also have bumps on the zip i got mine from fjallraven.com
SavannahgllHiGrace
I have an authentic black one and it has loose threads, not every kanken is made perfect
Can I please know what song you have playing in the background??
dan “call me” by 90sflav 💓
leah.mermaid thank you!
Hey! To anyone that's panicking on whether they bought a fake or authentic Fjallraven backpack because the double dots on top of the A's are bold and the one circle is attached to the A in the word Kanken, DON'T PANIC. Apparently many newer backpacks manufactured during 2017/2018 have newer logos with the circle attached to the A (backpacks with the "Kanken Original" tag.) Some people who have bought the backpack from the official website have noticed this change although it's a bit rare. Also, please don't take the foam pad that comes on the back of the backpack; it supports its shape and will cost money to buy a new one.
just in case a real bag is not an option for whatever reason, i have a fake regular that i use roughly every day that is lasting easily with that use. it cost 25 aus dollars and is very effective if you can't afford a real bag
freedles can you send me a link plz?
freedles can you send it to me too? Thanks
freedles please can you send the link??
im pretty sure PayPal can help you get a refund if you make a claim on it because she advertised it as authentic while selling you a fake
fjallraven makes their bag in vietnam :)
cadence ahh good to know!! thank you 💓
Got my mini from a local store today for $35 which was insane!! But I’m pretty sure it’s real! It’s like an actual legit brand of department store so i think and hope lol
Can you tell me please intro song?
And that’s the tea sis
The straps are tricky to figure out. I bought a real one and thought they wouldn’t adjust. Watch a tutorial on it. There’s a trick with the snap buttons at the bottom. You have to like shimmy them out through one of the loops
Sorry about your experience :((
No joke I saw this bag on Depop and was going to buy it good thing I decide not to
I Think when buying a kanken the best option is to really buy it in person or to order it from their website!
❤️❤️❤️
I feel you :( I just bought a fake one too! 💔
Kayla Grace where did you buy yours from, I’m worried the one I ordered is fake
i just ordered a fake kanken and didn’t realize until after i bought it :( i’m just hoping it’s good quality so even if it is fake i can still use it
Mel Baq same but my mom just bought me a real one too so yea:)
oof that means i got a fakie.... but i rlly dont care it was cheap
I think that you ordered the mini version! Because that’s what I ordered but it was authentic!
Well ofcourse i buy the ” real” one ! The bagpacks are from Sweden and i am from Sweden so...😍💕FJÄLLRÄVEN ÄR BÄST!!❤️👌🏼
Advice = Always order of the official website . Even if it’s a little pricier
or even try those outdoor gear stores! Merrell is selling them
SKSJSJJSJS the “back support” is actually a seat for sitting on the ground and rocks and stuff. authentic kånkens have them too... theyre a common product in sweden, like every preeschooler has one lmao but i guess theyre not international??
no we sat on them at least in canada.
i have a real kanken n the back support is way softer than that
soph: i cant tell if youre disagreeing with me or not? i also have a real kånken and there isnt really any back support in it, although the thingy kind of works as support instead
i got scammed 2 times 😭🤦🏻♀️ now i’m finally saving up for the real one
your voice is really cool (i don't know if you understand and i know it sounds a bit weird but it's really calming and cool to listen to)
Alise Cukure aww thank you 💗
It bugs me, no other company I could care less... the reason why they cost so much is because of the fact they are recyclable and originally for hiking etc.
Hey! You paid by Paypal! You talk to them, you should be refunded!
Hi just wondering how long did it take for your Kånkens to come
Something similar happened to me with this backpack just report fraud with the company of your card and most likely they will refund you, that's how I got my money back. I fell for the discounted price too, you are not the only one. lol
Candace Short mee tooo I just called my bank and made a claim dude I emailed these people and the way they emailed just confirmed they were frauds. Unprofessional emailing ettiqute. I never got a confirmation number
that is actually what I ended up doing, I ended up getting a 100% refund. thank you for the support and advice!
i can see you getting hella popular so don’t forget me when you hit 500k and 1mil
edit : and your super pretty btw💫💞
I got mine from the kanken website so I knew it was real
So I bought one on the website I believe and got an email but it was like $45 ish. So I’m thinking now that I might not have been paying attention to the site. I ordered it early July and now it’s mid August. I was promised 5-7 business days. Does anyone know what happened or can help?
this is literally what happened to me!!
"I'm feeling festive" lmao that's a mood
i bought one too! big mistake. i’m hella pissed.
rat i’m so sorry :((
leah.mermaid :(( i feel bad for you too. mine was from an ad i saw from instagram. then then it took me to a website that looked exactly like the fjällräven website claiming they were on sale so i bought one. well it took about a month to arrive and mine also shipped from china which seemed sketchy to me too.
rat omg I had this ad too and I wanted to buy one from there but I changed my mind.
So glad I didn't bought it
dumb af good thing you didn’t.
rat omgggg same ! I saw mine on an insta ad website is www.xuanskcl.ga Idk if it’s fake and it’s stressing me out!
mine has the reflective logo
but I noticed that the zipper doesn’t have the logos and I’m really mad 😐😤
I got one yesterday, in costwold outdoors (UK) i knew it was real because they are qualified retailers of the brand
