Long lasting through international travel

I have purchased 5 of these backpacks over the years for 5 of my nieces and nephews who live in a remote location in a developing country across the world. These bags have endured 5 international journeys and countless flights/trips into the jungle, as well as the rough hands of children, ages 6 and under. They are the perfect size for young kids to wear, but also to place their needed and treasured items in for easy and independent access during long trips. My brother and his wife love the responsibility and freedom it allows their kids during their travels. But ultimately, the backpacks hold up so nicely. They aren't falling apart, they don't retain dirt, and they have been exposed to all sorts of weather and rough conditions. They will continue to be used until outgrown, then passed down to other cousins or even generations. I could not recommend this more.

Bag is not as depicted

My wife received one as a gift. The straps are nothing like the photos. No smaller strap near the bottom for securing excess strap and no d-ring near the top for attaching their strap pad add ons. Will come back to edit review if the bag holds up or not. She received it as a gift from friends who have had their minis for a very long time so we will be able to compare them next time we see them. As of now though, seems like they are cheaping out on materials for their bags which is unfortunate.

Looks like a purse, but I love it anyway

I bought the classic Kånken in Foliage Green, and I absolutely love it. The colour is beautiful — subtle but still stands out. It fits my iPad Air, planner, Kånken Pen Case (the sturdy one), and a Gear Bag perfectly. All my essentials fit neatly inside, with just enough space to close comfortably. I’ve been using it for over a year now, mostly for sightseeing around the city, and it’s been incredibly practical. I’ve even joked that it looks a bit like a purse — even though I’m a man — but honestly, I don’t mind at all. It’s just that convenient and comfortable to carry. In the front pocket, I like to keep my card wallet and keys for easy access. I also added a red Kånken keyring as a little charm on the small pocket zip, which gives it a nice personal touch. It’s sturdy, practical, and just the right size for everyday use.

Misleading colour

I bought the peach pink and it is red - there's nothing pink about it. I am worried about the longevity of the colour as well, as there's already visible fading along any folds or edges of the bag right out of the package.

Beware of abrasive straps

Abrasive straps will destroy your clothes. Not for use as a women's day bag or purse alternative. Should only be worn over coats.
