The Fjallraven Kanken backpack was created in the 1970s to help prevent back problems among Swedish school children, and it’s quickly spread to cities around the world as one of Fjallraven’s most beloved products. Today, it remains a staple amongst students, parents and adults alike and is just as functional as it was when first launched.
It’s made from hard-wearing Vinylon F, a synthetic fabric whose fibers swell when damp, tightening the weave and resisting water. It’s also a budget-friendly option when compared to other travel backpacks and can even fit underneath an airplane seat as a carry-on!
This classic carries 16 liters of storage and is perfect for everyday use. It features a zip opening in the main compartment and two side flat pockets, a handle at the top and narrow and supple shoulder straps.
