Mini Kanken (Peachy Pink)

Ok, here is the deal. I bought the ox red 15-inch laptop Kanken for travel. I love it. Then I bought the frost green classic Kanken for work and the peachy pink mini for an everyday purse. To say that I am obsessed is an understatement. I love all of the backpacks, and the mini is no exception. I carry bags based on mood. The peachy pink color is an adorable, fun color for any age. I am a 63-year-old baby boomer who still works and goes to school, so I stay busy loving life. I forgot to mention that I bought the assorted Fjallraven pouches to fill up my backpack. I have the old version of the pencil case, the gear pocket, and the gear bag to organize all my things. I do recommend all of their backpacks.

Great backpack

I got gifted this from a friend for my birthday and I have had it for a while now. It is the best backpack that I have. I also have the bigger version of this and I love how comfortable they are to carry around. I love these backpacks so much.

LOVE the backpack HATE the straps.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for myself. I was SO excited as I know others that have this bag so I knew the quality. I absolutely LOVE the bag but HATE the straps. I'm 5'4" and wear an XL and feel like I'm wearing a 4 year olds backpack with how short the straps are and how high the bag sits on my back. I will be returning the bag unfortunately strictly due to the short straps. Bummer. Really love the sky blue color. Wish it just had a tad bit longer straps.

Holds up

I've had it for a few years and take it everywhere with me. It holds up really well and mostly, I'm fond of the memories and especially how I can pack it to the brim, knowing well that the zippers won't come undone or that I'll rip a seam. I've stuffed a whole hooded puffer jacket and merch into it at a concert venue when I didn't want to leave my bag at the coat reception. It just holds SO much for its size.

My Favorite Everyday Bag!

Bought the grey fog/striped over 2 years ago as a small trip bag and ended up using it everyday as my go to bag/purse and have taken it on many trips and adventures. The things I love most about this bag is that it holds a lot more for its size than it looks! I can fit my 40oz hydro flask, books, wallet/passport, keys, phone, makeup bag, sunglasses, lotion/sunscreens and even a small travel towel for the beach or a small sweater or cardigan. The other thing I love most about it is that it is extremely durable I'm rough with it and toss it around and it's still holding up. I have also walked/hiked in rain for long periods and have had no issues with the bag leaking inside! Last but not least is it is comfortable to wear even with a full pack it has never caused me any pain or body aches from long all day wear! The only thing I would mention is that after a few years the light grey color has dulled/stained and now looks dirty even when it's washed. Not really an issue seeing that that's only due to natural wear but next time I go to replace it I believe getting a darker color will help the bag stay looking nicer even longer. (Something to think about if you want a certain color but want the bag to stay nice looking over time)

Quality Bag

I rarely write reviews, but this deserves a exception. I have really appreciated this backpack. The mini is exactly what i needed for day to day and the spontaneous hiking trips! I can pack it to the hilt or just the bare essentials and its neither to bulky or to small. I was debating on whether to go with the slightly larger one but I'm completely satisfied with the mini. It was a worthy purchase, I sincerely hope other buyers can experience many happy adventures with this backpacking companion. :) ;)

Perfect mini bag

This bag is perfect size. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the color. I ordered Black Ox Red and when I received the bag it already looked weathered. Everywhere there was a crease or wrinkle from being flattened for shipping, it looked dirty or weathered(like a waxed canvas material look). It wasn't the look I was wanting for my bag before I had even used it so I am in the process of returning it and maybe trying out a different color, maybe something lighter that wouldn't show that as much. Other than that I think it will a perfect day bag!

COLOR IS NOT TRUE TO PHOTO

I bought this backpack in Frost green- peach pink for my sister because the colors appeared much lighter in the photos, when I received the backpack I was disappointed because it was a bright neon pink and the green was much brighter than I had thought, everything else was fine.

Best Canon EOS M50 camera bag ever!!!

I bought this backpack (in Granite) to use as a camera bag for my Canon EOS M50. With a soft camera case divider I bought on Amazon it fits my camera, 2-3 lenses, my charger and three batteries plus a lip gloss and some cash. Perfect!!!

Fits a lot!

This is a great little backpack for my 3 y.o. Fits more than you’d think and the material is very durable. Wish it had a little more padding on the straps but adjusts to fit small and big people alike!

I'm loving the backpack, yet my only problem was trying to figure out how to initially adjust the straps. Other than that it's a great purchase.

Love the mini backpack!

Although the backpack is small, it is sturdy and can hold quite a bit. Love the color options. The straps were easy to adjust. While the Kanken backpacks are definitely trendy right now, they're also a classic staple that won't go out of style.

I love it and use it all the time!

A scaled-down version of the Kanken backpack with long shoulder straps that can be adjusted to fit both children and adults. Small front pocket, removable seat cushion and a reflective logo.

Kanken was created in 1978 to help prevent back problems among Swedish school children and, since then, has become one of Fjallraven's most appreciated products. The Mini-version is suitable for small children as well as for full grown adults who are looking for a small backpack. It is perfect for carrying a change of clothes for preschool or food on an outing, and as a smart everyday bag for books, water bottles, fruit and more. The shoulder straps are long and adjustable and fit both small and big backs.

They can be fastened with a clasp so that they are not in the way when at their tightest. The material is hard-wearing, lightweight Vinylon F fabric that is able to withstand dirt and wetness. The main compartment has a large zipped opening, which makes it easy to pack and unpack. Two flat side pockets and a zipped pocket on the front. The included PE foam seat cushion is stored in the interior back pocket and also prevents the contents in the main compartment from poking against your back. Handles at the top and slender, adjustable shoulder straps. The logo on the front is reflective. It also has an address label inside the main compartment.

Sustainability
Fjallraen Kanken is made from hard-wearing Vinylon F that together with timeless design creates the perfect conditions for unfailing reliability and daily use, for many, many years to come. That's sustainability through longevity.
