A reliable everyday bag with iconic style
I bought the classic Kånken in navy, and I’m really pleased with it. It doesn’t have a dedicated laptop compartment, so I slip my laptop into a protective sleeve first, and it fits nicely inside the main section. It’s sturdy, well-made, and the colour is exactly as pictured. I clean it from time to time with a wet rag, and lukewarm water.
I’ve used it as one of my daily bags for more than two years, and even taken it travelling — it handles everything I throw in there (13" M2 MacBook in its sleeve, tablet, notebooks, bits and bobs) with no trouble. I’m aware it’s not recommended to carry a laptop due to the added weight, but it’s worked perfectly fine for me so far. The front pocket and side pockets are great for easy access to smaller items. Overall, it’s a dependable and stylish backpack that lives up to the Kånken name.

Disappointing quality
Bought last year for my son’s PreK class. The inside liner is completed shredded and falling apart. I have two other back packs that I purchased for my daughters 3 years ago and they are still in good shape. I think the quality has gone down.

Faded Color
The backpacks come in beautiful colors, but they tend to fade and develop white marks over time. The one that holds up best is the black one.
