I bought it a few months ago despite the lack of reviews on it. I got it because I love the combo of leather and black canvas. It gives it a more classier look. It's just the right size for most of my essentials for on the go. Small but holds a lot. Like you, I dressed mine up with just a couple of pins. It's my top bag atm. If a no.2 version of the hip pack ever comes out I'd grab that too. Thanks for showing us your lovely bag.
Hi Cristina 🌷 Glad you were able to get this beauty. It is such a lovely bag and a step up from their original slings. The size is perfect and the look of it is so special. Thanks for commenting ❤️
Thank you for this review. It was so fun! I loved how thorough you were while showing us the bags. Enamel pins are my favorite thing to put on my sling, so I understand you completely. Grace & Peace 💜
I agree all the colors look so vibrant and fun!!! 🌸 I must say though this black one with the leather trim has a more day to day friendlier material. Yes the fabric collects lint, which a lint roller can take care of but at least it doesn’t get scuffed like the original Kanken material. Thanks so much for commenting 💖 You must be binge watching videos, I appreciate it😘
Muchas gracias x tu video, tenía unas “dudas” para decidirme a comprar una. Y, gracias a tus comentarios he decidido ir por ella. Al igual que lo has hecho también le agregaré un par de pins 😊 Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
hey girl, hope you’re well! 😊 I was just researching this kanken sling bag so what a funny coincidence that you uploaded this video! 😂 haha I’m still on the fence about it lol love seeing that grey gold floral creativity mini and that lesportsac square cosmetic 😍 great review as usual ❤️ thanks for sharing friend! 😊💕😄😜
Hey Girl, I’m doing well, hope you are good too☺️ That’s funny that you were looking at this style too, it is a great little bag. Whatever color you choose I think you’ll love it. I ended up going to six flags yesterday and used my ochre one and it was perfect because I didn’t mind swinging it here and there while on the rides since it was already stood the test of durability💛 Thanks so much fir commenting 😘
Your daughter is too cute modeling the bag! Very cute bag and great review with the pros and cons for the two styles/materials. One of your previous videos inspired me to get a square cosmetic bag from Lesportsac👏 😄👛💜 TFS!
Ahh Thanks so much for lovely compliments 💖 I am so glad you picked up a LeSportsac Square Cosmetic, it is one of my favorite pouches, hope you like it. And this all Black Kanken Sling is too much fun to carry 🖤 Thanks for commenting 🥰
I bought this bag with white emblem for reflection in the dark months . Kanken 2 not available in Alaska. I enjoyed your warm product review. Keep them coming.
At first I thought 22 min?, how can it be so long? But it was sooo nice to see all the different bags in the store! We have these bags in most outdoor shops here in Sweden, but usually just a few colours and not all models (maybe because we are fewer? 10.5 million Swedes compared to Chicago alone at 8.9 mil.) Very good to see the comparison, I have a hard time choose model, and colour! 🤔 Re: the zippers, at my kånken backpacks I usually close them at the top. For me it's easier to open then. Now the question: have you had any problem withe the black leather giving away colour to the clothes you wear under the bag? Like when it rains or so. Thanks for the thorough review! 👏🌻🇸🇪
@@HelloNatalieK yay found one here on special and loving it! So easy to throw on and not worry about, am travelling/visiting family so is light & holds essentials. Can now pair with my Fjallraven Totepack no.1 which I also love 💛
I had to come back to this video to say thank you. I've been looking for a shoulder bag for a while. I'm to the point where I realize if you want quality you have to spend money. I saw your review and ordered one in Clay. I just opened it and upon feeling it I can tell this bag is no joke! I love yours with the leather straps and logo but haven't seen it. I don't think we have any actual stand alone stores in my city. Anyway, thank you for the wonderful review!!!
Oooo I bet that clay color is amazing! 💖💕 I just absolutely love this sling. I went to a Jazz festival in the park and it was the perfect little crossbody bag. I just love when you can sit down comfortably while wearing your handbag. Thanks so much for watching, hope you really enjoy yours🤩❤️
Thanks for the review! Has the colour held up after a year? I've seen a few people say that the black has faded to a brown colour for them 😢. I LOVE the black on black and am waiting for mine to arrive, but I would be so gutted if it turned brown! Thanks 😊
Hi!! I don’t wear mine enough to say if it fades. That is a bummer if it does though. I honestly could see that happening because of the material it is made out of. Either way, enjoy yours!!🥰
This seems like such a nice purse! Been eyeing it quite some time now 😃 So I find this video extra nice to watch! I can remember that you as well made a video about the Herschel Nova Crossbody, some time ago. I once debated between these two (Fjällräven's No. 2 Black Sling and Herschel's Nova Crossbody). I do know that the Sling is more spacious, so that can be a plus already.
Hi! Yes it is such a nice purse to carry. I will say that if I compare it to the Herschel Nova Crossbody, I prefer Herschel’s fabric over this Kanken No. 2 one for one main reason: The Kanken No. 2 black bag collects lint and you absolutely need a lint roller. And you need to use the lint roller daily if you want the bag to look nice. But it is worth it because the Kanken No.2 is such a fun cute carry. Thanks so much for commenting 💕 Take care.
@@HelloNatalieK Hi :) Thank you for sharing your opinion! That is a really interesting thing to be aware of, that the fabric of the Kånken Sling no. 2 Black catches lint. Also nice that you say that the bag is worth it anyway! You're right about Herschel Nova's fabric. I own a Herschel Nova Mini myself and indeed: that fabric does not seem to catch lint. So nice that you seem a fan of different kind of totes! I sure do like them as well 😃 Thanks again and take care! 💖
Thank you Nathalie, I was wondering about all the differences between the original sling Kanken and the all black sling Kanken. For and also I wanted to know if the all black one had a little pouch inside. I do hope the color is really black and not some sort of greyish, but I think that is because you are doing your wonderful review in the sunlight I guess. Your enthousiasme is great to look at. I just ordered the all black one. love from the Netherlands.
Hi Alyssa! 🎉 And Happy Birthday! This is such a wonderful bag, I haven’t had any problems with the leather, nor have I added any conditioning balm or anything to preserve it. It’s great quality, Enjoy and thanks for commenting 🥰
Hey Fellow Teacher! If there is a way to hide the straps I am not aware of it. But it doesn’t bother me to have the straps hanging when I carry it like a cute lil’ mini tote. 💖
i really wanna get this but i already have the same exact design but in the 15 laptop version. tbh i've been using it for 2 years and some parts of the bag look faded (probably due to sunlight). has this happened to u on the sling?
Purches the mini last year in the color spicy orange now i want sling. Was thinking more neutral color or ox red i was diciding between ox red, warm yellow or the orange for the mini. Now idk about the sling 😂
