Fjallraven Kanken Backpack No.2 560 - Navy

Material:bag seems to be very sturdy and love the leather detailsDurability:not sure yet—haven’t used it for longI searched and read a lot of reviews before deciding on purchasing this bag so I have very high hopes for it to last long. At first glance, it certainly looks very nice—looks sophisticated so it can be used as a work bag. Material also feels like it’ll be very durable.I bought this at a very discounted price so regardless, to me it’s a worthwhile purchase.

Colour:All blackMaterial Quality:G-1000 polyester cotton blendAppearance:UnderstatedAuthentic. All the proper details are here. It's truly overhyped and overpriced for what it is, but I'm a sucker for effective marketing, I guess.Pros:- Subtle looking. Doesn't scream Fjallreven.- It can pack a lot. Will do for 1-3 days travel if you pack light.- Kasya 15" laptop. Tight, but kasya. Perfect 13" kahit may thick sleeve.- Basic boxy design. Nothing really sticks out except the handles.- Hindi masakit yung straps. It'll only get uncomfortable and dig into your shoulders if you pack it to capacity, which you're not supposed to do anyway.- Kasyang-kasya payong sa side pockets.- Leather and hardware seem sturdy.Cons:- It's a dirt magnet.

Will have to bring a lint roller, brush, or wipes if you like it mint.- Not waterproof like the original kanken, just water-resistant. Will have to apply wax at some point.- Can't throw it in the washing machine or dryer.- The G1000 tends to fade, so you can't expose it to the sun if you want to keep your bag black.- It's essentially a big packing cube. It won't hold its shape despite the seat pad, and the bottom will sag if you put small heavy items in there. Pwedeng lagyan ng carton bottom for structure, I guess.- Not the most convenient thing for walking around and having to take things out. My passport holder/wallet won't fit in the front pocket. I guess you could unzip the big compartment from the side while the handles are locked.- You have to buy a specific, slim, insulated bottle that'll fit the side pockets. It's real tight in there.Overall, okay naman. Medyo nabudol ako pero whatever. The packaging is pitiful (no protection at all), but it got to me fairly quickly. Also came with a Fjallraven calendar as a freebie. Thanks for that.

Classy look and nice touch with leather handles

I bought this but I ended up returning it only due to the fact that I don’t like the boxiness of these bags. I thought perhaps it would not have the same look but it is similar to all the other fjallraven bags. I liked this material better than on the original bags as it was more of a canvas feel and the leather really is a nice touch. It has a removable padding in the back of the bag that would be helpful if you were carrying a laptop and you could also take it out and sit on it for a picnic or something. I really wish that the shape of the bag didn’t bother me because overall this is a very nice bag and if you like the look of these bags you’ll love this bag!

Love the all black look

I am very happy with my kanken. Fits my 15" MacBook like and glove and very convenient. I got the extra bottle.holder which I haven't used much yet but seems to work well for my 20oz bottle. Comfortable given the thin ness of the straps (thicker straps would be awkward) and I like the ability to retract them and snapmup for use as a tote. Don't expect a technical backpack, that's not what it is. It's a cute slightly overpriced statement piece that feels wellade.

Minimal but perfect

I was looking for a bag without a ton of compartments. This one has just the right amount without me looking through every pocket to find what I’m looking for. It fits my 13’ MacBook. My lunch and a 40oz hydroflask on the inside perfect. With a bit of leftover room for a sweater. On the side I keep a yeti coffee cup. It’s exactly what I need and a beautiful colour.

More like a stylish bag for city life.

Small, cute, not a real backpack. It fits just a computer a book or two, some pens. A wallet. It’s really more like a large purse. Doesn’t have substantial backpack straps. Just thin flimsy ones. Fine for anything you wouldn’t need a real backpack for. You’d probably wouldn’t take a hike with it. But you’d take some stuff in it to a cafe. Nice looking for that.

Work Backpack

I always like Fjallraven backpack. This time, I'm looking for a work backpack with 15" laptop sleeve in it. This bagpack has that classic kanken look with some leather material on the handle. The padded back and straps make it more comfortable. It has enough space for a work backpack. My laptop is on the bigger size, so it doesn't fit on the sleeve. I have to return this and find something bigger for my work bag. As usual, return is very easy and quick.
