Fjallraven Kanken Backpack | Initial Thoughts

[@StunningBaboon]

I also initially thought the straps would be painful (nearly didn't buy it bc of that fact) but for my uni supplies it's surprisingly been quite comfy 😌

[@riizevity]

i always wanted this bag for years and finally i will this year after my old bag *both* zippers broke and its just busted after using for 2 years. im excited! i was thinking of getting sand but then i saw a little kid in the mall have graphite and i was in love

[@gabykyuu]

I honestly had been looking at the Kanken bags before classes started for me but, considering the fact that I went through a lot this past summer (I basically had to spend over $1,000 USD on my car because people don’t know how to drive apparently), the price (about $80 USD) was just too much for me at this present time. I actually ended up stumbling upon this brand called Himawari on Amazon while I stressed over how expensive Kanken is but how much I wanted it. After viewing your video, I realized the bags are actually quite similar, and my bag was only about $35. I didn’t realize that Kanken had those straps so now I’m less inclined to invest in one in the future. I think I’m just going to stick with the Himawari bags because the price is more reasonable and it’s comfortable enough for me! I did enjoy your honesty in this video though! I look forward to your next video!

I have a graphite and a blue ridged one and they saved my back!

[@faithmarie2381]

[@banavu4034]

Great video, thanks for the tips!

[@mun6138]

[@averielehman6162]

[@mun6138]

averie I got graphite, and it suited me better than frost green

[@averielehman6162]

@@mun6138 thank you! i think i'm going with that one as well!

[@mun6138]

averie you’re welcome! hope you enjoy yours!

[@hazelm.3681]

[@wantono]

yeee i just ordered mine for school and am highkey scared about the size ):

[@kaylaaaaaaaaaaaa]

julie ; the original size is good for school. you shouldn’t have to worry much unless you’ve got a mini size.

[@cultureboo4740]

Same I got a classic so I bought folders instead of my binders. Good luck 😉

[@studyboi6416]

SAMEWW

[@cultureboo4740]

ammad hasan Good luck to everyone 🥰

[@wantono]

alyak ; i got the classic backpack, hopefully it can fit everything lol (:

[@peterawad4936]

I'm torn between the color "Graphite" and "Super Grey". Which one do you prefer? Which color is better in terms of not looking extremely dirty in the long run "Graphite"(which is slightly darker and has a bluish tint to it) or "Super Grey"(which is slightly lighter)?

[@izabellatt193]

Hey! Just ordered mine from indigo! It says it will take 9 days, how long do you think it will take?

[@HaylStudies]

Izzytango I’m not sure. Canada Post is on strike so who knows 🙈

[@iyasadanchikova6713]

9 days

[@planetvnus]

Iya Sadanchikova loool😂😂😂

[@khoakdoan]

I can't decide between dusk and graphite

[@joiedevivre.]

your video is very helpful!!

[@toridylo3268]

hey i live in canada and was wondering why you didnt order from the original website??

[@HaylStudies]

Victoria Hurst Indigo was cheaper and quicker. During the summer they did discounts every weekend, so I think I saved something like 15%? Plus I had Plum Points I could use which decreased the price further. Shipping was also free 😊

[@Juvernrocks]

yup u definitely butchered the name lol its Fee - Yall - Rahh - Ven Kong- Can

[@0mfgeeze]

No it is fyall rayven she said it correctly.

[@prasadvaghelaa]

@@0mfgeeze actually, the real pronouncing is what he or she said, Americans say it like fyall-raven-Kanken

[@christianvanristell]

Best review on KZbin!

[@tia.p]

I have a navy blue one ! It’s so ruined after a year of using at school and then I got oil paint on it...

[@Ashley-py2gb]

tia poonia haha. Did you get a new one?

[@lenanguyen6484]

i bought a black kanken and it keeps making some of my stuff i store in it slightly black, is that normal?

[@karenaf5440]

This color reminds me of the color melanite from lululemon ☺️

[@jannknight13]

Where did you buy yours from? If from the official Fjallraven website, how long did it take to ship?

[@HaylStudies]

Jessica Knight Indigo.ca 😊 They’re a Canadian retailer and it took a day to get to me!

[@jannknight13]

Hayl Studies finally got a shipping update from the office site, it arrives tomorrow! Only took 4 days, not bad for free shipping estimated to take 6-10. Thanks for answering my question so quickly!

[@matthews2585]

You got a dupe by the way. Missing the royal seal on the inside label.

[@amelie6726]

You pronounce it Loy shtrum. 💕Xx

[@HaylStudies]

Amelie Sutton THANK YOU 💕

[@tiny.kawaii]

The r comes after the u - “Loy sh too rm” is as similar as I can rebuild it in English. Many English speaker and some American KZbinr say “...trum” but that’s not how Leuchtturm is pronounced in German.

[@dulcconde]

I got the same color❤️

[@winxclubwinxies9730]

Y’all. The backpacks are free in my yard. Get them!

[@medicinal_pothead]

Such an in-depth review

[@lenaduong6112]

Is this the classic or the 15 inch laptop one?

[@HaylStudies]

Itslenaa classic

[@abigailfloresacevedo9458]

Does it have pocket on the side

[@Ashley-py2gb]

Abigail Acevedo yes but it is small

[@dahrleneabregunda8045]

Im planning to buy it today for 90 euros 😖

[@Mia-sb1bb]

Does it hurt your shoulders when you wear it?

[@HaylStudies]

AlohaMia it did when it was really full and I ended up selling it

[@Mia-sb1bb]

Hayley The Planner oh

[@AnNa-og7mw]

What about a review after using it for over a year (*as you promised*)? 🙂

[@HaylStudies]

An Na I actually ended up selling it a few months after I got it :(

[@AnNa-og7mw]

@@HaylStudies oh no, why?? :(

[@HaylStudies]

I just ended up not liking it and preferred my Herschel bags. It held a lot and was durable, but it wasn’t the best backpack I’ve ever owned.

[@AnNa-og7mw]

@@HaylStudies Thank you for the answer! I bought extra shoulder pads and love it, it's very comfortable, even when I use it for shopping and pack it to the rim with heavy jars and bottles. Still thinking of Sandqvist Roald though, lol.

[@victoriajaslow683]

Is graphite more of a blue or grey?

[@sabrinatai8468]

Victoria Jaslow it’s definitely gray

[@gustavos.6428]

Mine in the sun is grey/blue but in the dark it’s grey

[@holistic7980]

After two years they start looking dirty even when clean and very old. I have two of them black and othe on graphite. Never will I buy them again. Plus they don't help my back much.

[@uniquelyme7662]

Sorry your bag is a nock off. it does not have the “purveyor to the royal court of sweden” on where the name tag is inside.

[@lorrs890]

sorry to tell you but your bag is fake your can tell by the logo on the dot above the bottom “a” the dot is suppose to touch the “a” in the word kanken and if it doesn’t it’s fake

[@HaylStudies]

lorenavelker Hi there! I actually bought it from a Canadian retailed called Indigo, they’re a trusted stockist of Fjallraven items here in Canada so I know it’s not a fake.

[@HaylStudies]

Also, the A actually isn’t supposed to touch the dot. I would recommend searching through the actual Fjallraven website and looking at their photos for reference.

[@annieo4721]

@@HaylStudies look on the kanken website, the a touches the dot lmao

[@princess-b-g-g]

@@annieo4721 some older versions float, especially the regular ones. The number 2s dont float

Is this the mini ?

[@HaylStudies]

Ariana Gonzalez Nope! Regular.

[@rosesana4531]

Does it hurt your shoulders even tho its not full?

[@maddisonroberts5200]

Mike Ocania No :), i have the original one in the colour Fog and i literally stuff it everyday for school. I have had mine for a little over 6 months and i’ve never had a problem!
