me: *knowing damn well i have a fake kanken*
also me: *gets shocked after watching this video*
Dont worry.
Same
Sorry
Sorry
would it be worth getting a fake one? i've given up trying to save up for a real one and all the review videos on the knockoffs are really grating
Ok maybe fake is cheeper but.. The original is made fair trade, more eco friendly, the part of this money goes for charity for polar foxes.. Its your choice what do you want to support
I want to support the fake one
*Yes*
Real one *80 dollars* Fake one *10 dollars* not everyone is rich

@Ola do you mean arctic foxes not polar foxes?
Actually the older kanken has the slimmer font, it's just kinda recent that they changed it to the thicker one. Same goes with the inside, the name address is now only name contact
SOO GOOD TO HEAR, BECAUSE i have that slimmer font on mine
And thats not the only problem with this, they changed a lot in the last years. Also the sewing inside is normally the most obvious things how they can be distinguished
@@paperjourni8964 what do you mean by this because I have a kanken that does not have overturned hems on the inside of the zip part. Is this a sign that it is fake? It also has a shorter adjustment section.
thank goodness. mine was $100 from urban like 6 years ago and had the thinner font, I was so mad I thought I had been duped
i feel so relieved thank you so much
I just realised the one I got for Christmas today is fake 😂
dont worry about it 😂
Haha mines real but I don’t think it matters
Mines real, but it doesnt really matter. Its just a backpack!
Lmao same
Sme 😭
I told my mom i did a test and mine was real and she said “it better be real I didn’t spend 100$ for nothing” god I love her😂🤪
Your profile pic wiggled in night mode
Here in Brazil is 1000 R$
Wait actually? That’s cool
@@NaoSei-ql6mh infelizmente amiga
Garota Aleatória wow that’s expensive
The fakes are damn good, I’m honestly surprised by the level of detail mine had, and the inside contact tag and the original tag it came with really had me fooled (have the exact same fake as you btw). I don’t think it makes a difference to be honest, they’re practically identical
Edith AM where did you get it from?
Faith Camden Market in London, there’s shit tons of them there x
hey, did it last long?
Mariana Lis Seems to be pretty sturdy! The fabric is apparently thinner, but no signs of wear after a few months of use, and the waterproofing holds up great.
We ordered one from DH Gate for $18. It took almost a month to come but it's nice and so far is holding up REALLY well
Fake has better waterproof wtf
Mashiro Shiina because she washed her original kanken in the laundry when you’re not supposed to do that
most fake ones arent waterproof. my fake one soaks it all up
My is waterproof
his was old and washed. its coated in wax which makes the backpack waterproof, thats also why his original is not, the wax washes off!
Aincrad Cardinal h I s
My opinion: dont buy any of them, except you really need a bag pack. Thats the best for the planet. Buy only what you are going to use for a while and if is good quality, better. So reduce your consume and be eco-friendly :)
Luli Sissy that’s what the original kanken is. It lasts for many years. Some From the 50’s are still in use now. And the company will repair them if it gets damaged. And people obviously need a bag pack for school
Kånkens actually have a special part that is called Re-Kånken, made from recycled plastic bottles, also a part from the sales is destined to save the arctic foxes.
True! I have Jansport backpack which I bought for $10 (they had a sale), and I've been using it for 3 years now. I was tempted to buy Kanken because I needed something new & better quality, but I thought I'll wear my current backpack until it is no longer useful.
Sometimes we just get bored for having to wear the same stuff for a long time, and buying a new one for the sake of style. But it's good that more people are considering the waste and the damage it caused to the planet.
Sorry for bad English by the way :)
Actually, the authentic older kankens with the swedish flag can have name, address, and contact. Mine also doesn't have the emblem on the contact info thing but it's real.
yeah, but the one she has is still fake
@@dovalayn maybe its just the old version😒
Good to know! I wish companies would be more open about their changes & variations. I purchased one 2nd hand from Poshmark everything seems legit but it does have the “contact” at the bottom of the label. I’ll know for sure when it gets here. Just couldn’t justify $70 right now. 🤞🏼
I have the flag
Mine has name, address, post address and tel
I bought the fake kanken backpack in classic size. But I am comfortable with the fake backpack I have when I bring it to school.
Tell me why I like the fake one more lmao
waterproof feature is lit lol
because it is way cheaper and same as good and beatiful
@@username_3115 I can tell when a kanken is fake. Once you have a real one you know
idk 90% of your clothes were probably made with child labour, shampoos, skincare, the phone you type that on. Get of your damn high horse.
@idk unless you search about every brand you buy from , then you really never know , also high quality doesn't always mean it wasn't made by child labour
I bought mine on the website about 5 years ago before they were cool lol. Someone told my sister it was a fake since I’ve given it to her, but it’s not. Mine has the thinner font and the name address and contact on the inside. I was shocked to see that now my original is being confused for a fake. If you go on the official website they still have some this way. I had to google it.
I have a half fake kanken, half original lol
IKR LMAO
How??
SAME LMAOO
SAMEEEEE
I took a risk and ordered off of amazon despite reviews of it being fake, I watched this video and thank god I got a real one. Thanks for making the video 😅
hi i just wanna clear some things up in case people are still trying to authenticate theirs ! im basing this off my three kankens (two from the official/physical store and one from our local online store) and i also have friends who got theirs from the official store as well.
they all have only name, address, contact like on 2:09. only some have the swedish flag.
about the buttons at 0:56, you can spin them around so i don't think that's a very reliable detail to figure out if it's fake or not.
they all have tags like the fake ones, 4:24.
i think the things at 2:30 is the only way to determine the authenticity, all of our kankens also have those silk textured tags (or whatever they're called)
in conclusion, since original kankens are admittedly pretty expensive, the fake ones are a good option as they're really high quality too and seem legit
Thanks for sharing really helpful info! It’s no fun having a fake when you paid $$$ (it is a high quality fake though). Only buying from trustworthy stores from now on!
Some ppl can’t get real ones, luckily somebody ain’t gonna come up to you and say “oI iS tHaT FaKe?!”
Mahya Hollander really ??? i have a fake but am so scared people can tell at school. but i don’t have $100 to waste
I swear the "fake" is just an older model... Don't hate me if I'm wrong tho
EXACTLY
Yeah... I have a backpack like that and it's just an older model...
That’s one of the things that I think prevent me from returning mine, because I think it’s just an older model. I live in Argentina, so it’s totally possible for companies to buy the old models to save some cash
I almost get shock cause I bought for hundreds dollar luckily it is the older version
I have a Kånken bag,and its “fake”...NO,it is JUST OLDER! (I bought in fjallraven shop) But nevermind...
I ordered from original kanken web site and now this vid tells me that i have „fake” ?!?!?!?!
Just Meee same like wtf?
Probably you got one of their older versions, don’t worry about it
omg they have all fake fjallraven websites u probably ordered from one of those!!!!
same i think i just ordered it off a fake ah website and didn’t even realize 😭 i spent $100👋🏼
@@larz4737 maybe you have an older version
So I got that same fake one from Groupon of all places! Never said anything about shipping from China. However they are getting way better at these fakes. Some things you didn't mention is the fox's eye on the front logo is more sharp and the fake is rounded. Also my bag came with the exact same back pad as your real one, same nice thickness, and sticker. Mine Is also waterproof to my shock, but the foxes are not all facing the same. Inside has the same name tag, flag, and product tags. It fooled me at 1st until I watched a few videos & went to Urban Outfitters to see one for real. But other than the material being a tad thinner, they did a dang good fake! 😬
I have a fake kanken (£20) that I got off of eBay and it came in good condition, apart from the seat pad! I used it for a year until one of the straps broke from the top of the bag but I didn’t really care that much as I always hold my bag on one side. But a week later the other side along with the zip broke :(
If you are looking for a long term bag (yr+) then I wouldn’t recommend the fake kanken from my experience 🤗🤗
I've bought my backpack second-hand and I paid way less than the original price for brand new product. I'm not sure it's a true one, but actually it looks very fine and is made very well. I don't give a damn wether is fake or no, it's a nice bag and new are little pricey. If it wasn't for that price, i would pay for look-a-like no-name, because i like their minimalistic design :)
Yes I know same you can’t tell which is fake and real
The authentic one's are way expensive
because they weren’t made by chilld slaves
Because they last forever
Actually they’re expensive because they donate a good portion of profit to the white foxes in the Arctic? If I remember correctly hence their name I have two and although I’m aware of the price it’s better for the environment and workers :)
@@dovalayn really? they're both apparently made in china. where is there by info on the real ones being more ethical in that way bc i haven't found much on it...
@@therealxlalabecca What? The authentic ones are made in Vietnam, or at least that’s what mine says.
it’s sad how someone creates a knock-off brand to make money, when the original one is just trying to make the world a better place
When the original is so expensive that i can feed myself for an entire week with same amount of money. Knock offs are for poor people not all of us can afford to buy a bag.
@@zencefil8 the knock-off is most likely made in a sweatshop by a child who’s salary won’t provide them to eat for a week anyway. not to mention the fact how the low quality bag is gonna get thrown away very quickly and it will just become polluting garbage. you’re not required to purchase a kanken if you can’t afford to anyway
@@marikaubi8509 we usually don’t go to a store and be like i want a cheap knock off kanken. We go to buy cheap stuff and choose what we find nice and kankens sure looks nice. And no we don’t throw it away lol. We use it for years. It’s not our responsibility to save the planet or not support fast fashion when we are trying to afford to live in the first place. That’s rich people’s job to do. Go tell that to privileged people.
@@zencefil8 when i said that it's gonna get thrown away, i obviously meant that since its cheap fast fashion, it's going to get damaged with high usage. such things will probably last for only a year or so. everybody knows that their production quality is extremely low. and can you actually hear what you're saying? saving the planet is EVERYONE'S responsibility since everyone has a carbon footprint. it just depends on how much you can do and avoiding fast fashion/overconsumption is the least an average person can do.
@@marikaubi8509 I CAN’T AVOID FAST FASHION BRUHHHHH. I CAN’T AFFORD OTHER BRANDS. I LITERALLY GO FOR CLOTHES SHOPPING ONCE IN 5 YEARSSSSS. And oh don’t worry those things we buy does last for years. They don’t get thrown away unless they are unrepairable. and no when i say saving the planet i meant the the side affects of the fast fashion not straight up littering the planet in every way. I am cautious about that except the things i can’t afford. That’s all :)
Yours is newer I’ve had mine for abt 3 yrs and I got it from the official kanken website and it looks nothing like yours!!
Mine tooo
Me knowing my kanken was original (before watching the video): 😎
Me after watching this video: oof
Same but idk if mines fake still lol
@@selsabotage lol, where did u get yours from?
Beverly Kwakye my parents got it but idk where they did lol
@@selsabotage I got mine from Moosejaw. The camping outdoors website
Look for a bunch of Chinese writing on the tags, usually a dead giveaway :) you can see in the video as well that all the tags on the fake bag were written in Chinese.
i mean, i’m happy with mine (black 20L) especially since i didn’t buy it for the aesthetic but for the factors like big bag, fits laptop, my fake one is water proof, durable and just perfect for me since it’s lightweight and i have bad back problems- i don’t mind the little details of the clasps and inside because no one will see it up close.
So
my advice is, if you’re struggling with money then it’s a good idea to get the fake one especially if you think you won’t wear it in a few years since trends die and it’s a lot of money for an original, but if you really want to and can afford the original then go for it since it does also go to support artic foxes and such
Actually, the name, address and contact (even the flag) details are correct. If you go to the official website and see some photos they are the same as the fake one here. I think it depends on the version. I can confirm it since I have the original and it's like that 🤷🏻♀️
I know I got a fake one and I bought the fake one bc , I wanted a Kånken Bag but didn’t wanna spend a 117€ on it. I‘m happy with my fake one
But it isn't really a kanken , it's just a bag labelled as a kanken it's not a real kanken
I know
Where did you get your fake from? Can you give me the link? I'm also looking for a fake.
Susi Matthy
I don’t know how to send the link , but you need to search for a bag that costs 12,99€
Okay, but the backpack is from Amazon? Or not?
honestly it’s so easy for a kanken owner to find a fake 😂
yall should mind your business
Liv - you should stop buying fake shit and actually support the designers
@@Silent. Not all us can afford to pay £90-£120 for a bag, if y'all actually pay that much for a bag you're just moronic.
@@evemae5716 the original backpack is eco friendly and supports the arctic foxes and so on. just because it is cheaper doesnt mean you should buy it. I bought a fake one for $80 because i thought it was the real website, and the string on the backpack is coming unraveled, the fabric is not half as good quality as the original, and more
amelia perry what website did you bUy your on
These fakes a pretty good quality, but if you have the money I’d say get the original one. Kanken is an eco friendly and the quality is great, so I don’t think they are overpriced just for the sake of exclusivity.
I have a fake and a real one 🤷🏼♀️ but i like both 💕
I have the same thick writing as you on
my original kanken that I got for Christmas. Some people may think that their authentic kanken is fake because of the thin writing on the logo but it might not be because they only just introduced the thick writing recently! So the thick writing is newer but your thin writing may also mean that your bag is an authentic bag! It just depends if u get the newer or older version
i got mine off amazon and it def ain’t fake ✨🧚🏻♀️ mine is in the color warm yellow 🦋
Is it worth it to get the fake kanken I really want a kanken but it’s 100 dollars and my budget is up to 34 dollars
It's really worth saving up for the bag. I can put a lot of stuff in without my back hurting.
Mellory Lopes yeah, I can fit 2 binders, 2 folders, a water bottle, my pencil case, and my lunch box.
I have the fake one but you won't notice any difference. It's like the original one
Just get the original and support the brand. It's worth it to save up.
Get the fake one!! No one will notice
Wish I bought a real kanken instead of trying to get a cheaper one on poshmark...paid 65 dollars for a FAKE and the seller said it was real 😭😭😭
actually i went on the kanken website and most of the kankens have the same logo as the fake
same. it cost 90$ and has all the tells of a fake. i think it depends on when you got the backpack because they come out with new designs, so things might be different.
I’ve got an original which I use daily for commuting in London for a solid 1 year or even less, and it’s now got a hole in it 😔 would actually recommend a fake as the original doesn’t seem to be very sturdy at all!
Thank you for all the comments and likes, I did not expect that 💘 i will upload a new video as soon as possible. Love youu 🥰
Update: Thank you for 10k views!! 😭😍🤩 I still can’t believe it 🥴
Second update: OMG 100 000 VIEWS!! I can't explain how happy I am. THANK YOUU
This was super helpful. THANK YOU!
I recently ordered a fake fjällräven kånken sling bag. The color looks nice(i got pastel purple) and the difference to the original one is minimal. The material is different but still firm and feels good and the logo is reflective. Just the sewing on the logo is untidy. But hey, for 20$ i can't complain! In love with it!
where did you get it from
this is a very important question. This cardboard "tag" attached to the handle of the backpack is made as you show in the fake backpack, but the rest looks as you showed in the original.
I have a fake one but honestly before watching this video I though it was a real one. He is very cool actually. So LET'S BUY SOME FAKE KAKEN BACKPACKS!
(it's was £20 so it's fucking sure it's a fake one 😭)
I just got a black one for £20 from the charity shop, it looks brand new with no marks apart from some hair clips inside and is missing the seat pad and base pad. It's one that can be a backpack or an over the shoulder bag from what I can tell from some research it has the marks of a genuine one that would have been £100. so a good deal and find on my birthday.
Thank you so much for this video! I almost bought a fake from one shop but stumbled across ur video before I did 😅
I had experience with a fake backpack. That's when I didn't know the price of the original and bought a "drop" by buying a fake. I also checked everything from the video, thought it was an orig, but after I put on this backpack a couple of times, I started an allergic reaction - a rash, I wrote to the seller and asked if it should be washed immediately upon receipt, I was told no. But in the end, I started to suffer from irritation, combing my hands, which touched this same backpack and scratching my back, which the backpack also touched. As a result, I complained about the account of those fakes sellers and resold my backpack because I couldn't use it myself anymore. The annoyance took place after I sold my backpack and didn't touch it. It was all about pseudo-impregnation, if the original ones are impregnated with quality products, it's not clear what fakes soak. After this incident, I started postponing it to the original, and when I bought it, I didn't have such problems, I also never erased it. I bought a second original sling baby now and there's no problem with it either. From my personal experience, I realized that if there is no money for the original, either to save or buy some other brand, etc., but not to support the trick at the expense of the name of the quality original.
Noice, glad to see most of the girls at my school have a fake one. Was getting a bit concerned that everyone was spending over $100 on a bag just to be trendy haha
Is it really pathetic to buy an item expensive for a good reason (environment, sustainability, fair trade etc.) rather than faking being eco friendly?
Angelika Skoroszyn or you can donate the money for some eco companies
THIS VIDEO WAS SUPER USEFUL THANK YOU
*i would’ve been like hey, at least I GOT A KANKEN-*
Definitely serves me right for buying a 15" laptop Kanken for $50 online, but I'm still disappointed that I'm finding out now that it's a fake! Oh well, it's still a good backpack
I got one at the mall for 5000pessos/80 dollars but everything was hella simillar to the fake except for the font and sticker perhaps yours was a newer model i owned this for over a year!
Hi im filipino too and I really want one where'd you get yours??

Same! I’m really confused since I just got my kanken today which I ordered from zalora and it looks like the fake one! I’ve checked other articles and the ‘original’ one looks really different
@@blxcktexrs6068 ty !
I bought one and it arrives tomorrow I’m so excited!
Well I buy one, when it comes I will defenitly test it. Thank you, great video👍❤️
You can just use (i dont really know how it is called, maybe Wax) so you can make your backpack water proof again)))
Give them couple months. They will perfect the art of knock off just like most popular brands.
Thank you! Someone was selling a fake kanken on Facebook marketplace and i couldn’t tell if it was real or not
I only use mine for school trips etc.
I use a normal backpack for school days.
lmao the fake one looks original as waterproof so y’all better buy fake atleast your bag is waterproof
I’m annoyed, but I don’t really mind at this point since it still works. I only needed it to fit my books, anyway.
Thank you so much!! I almost bought a fake one for Christmas!! :)
i accidentally bought a fake one bc I thought it was real so now I'm just gonna watch these videos until my dupe gets here lol
Mines real but I didn’t expect kanken to have a kinda stiff material I thought it was gonna be like thin material
I've seen many real kankens with logo's that don't have thick text, there's plenty of them online the main difference in real and fake kankens is that the real kanken has reflective material on the logo
This isnt true.. i have one bought one from their store here in Sweden and on some things it’s more like your fake than real... I think it depends on model and when it was produced
OMG 😍 thx the video ^^ so much help for me (i realized i have a original kanken) i'm so happy (sry my bad english😅) i have too ochre 😃 i love this colour
After seeing this the fake is just as good. The waterproof material sold me! $100 is too much for a backpack that has no structure or inside pockets. If it was a Northface, I could see spending a $100.
Marie Just Marie YOURE THE WHOLESOME GRANNY I WATCH WHEN IM SAD WJJSJWHWWJSHW
You have the older version

thanks for sharing the difference!
I SPENT $100 ON A FAKE FJÄLLRÄVEN BACKPACK!!!!! I worked hard on saving on my backpack. Now I learn it’s fake. Wow, what a pity! That’s for letting us know though!
Your bag most likely isn’t fake!!! :) it’s most likely just an older version. Check the tags for only Chinese writing, that’s a dead giveaway. And depending on where you bought it I highly doubt any reputable retailer would sell you a fake for 100$
So , I have the original . Thank u
thanks for the info. better to buy the original than the fake one.
I loved this video, I bought the bag from a girl and she promised me it was original but now I'm sure it's not
I like how you edited this
thank you!
Thnxx now I know that my kanken bagpak original is
Hey! Nice video, just wanted to ask where did u get the fake one?
Old version of kanken has thin text and other zip tag, new kanken has thick text. I have 2 kankens, one older and i buy both backpacks at original page :)
love this video 😂
Just wait until the real one goes on sale!
This backpack is so aesthetically pleasing😻😻😻
Both looks almost the same. But it all boils down to quality. The fake one I bought lasted me for a few months. It broke after I filled it up with clothes. The zipper handle broke and straps were pulled out. But the original Kanken I bought is still sturdy after 3 years of almost daily use. The tag inside is tearing but everything else is still looking good.
this made me feel broke - I literally just got it today 😔
Don't say so ♥️
I got a fake kanken. It was waterproof until I washed it. :')
i WONHOrt U as far as i know you can’t really wash the real kanken either. You just have to use wipes. Because washing it will ruin the colour. I knew this from the store guy where i got mine.
@@githaputri3051 I saw in a video too so I washed my kanken lwith caution and guidance, but it still lost its waterproof quality :')
i WONHOrt U where did you buy it omg
I bought mine in a site called Shopee.
I bought mine in a site called Shopee.
Comprei a fake sem saber, mas mesmo assim, a imitação é muito bem feita. Moro no Brasil, as mochilas dessa marca aqui são muito caras ( em torno de 900 reais ou mais).
In case you didn’t know, I’m pretty sure that you can by waterproofing to put in your washing machine so it doesn’t wash off the coating
Actually the classic kanken cost likee 80$
Verdunia if u get the mini but the classic is 100 and large is even more so unless u want the mini that if FALSE:)
itz.Zohee if you look it up on the website, it actually IS $80 usd
@@mystyy5422 That's not true. The bigger kanken is 100 but the mini is like 70 dollars. The classic is 80 dollars.
What I learned from this video, is that you might as well buy a fake Kanken bag
Disgusting
kanken just made an update on them backpacks with the white message inside i actually bought an original one in 2017 in NYC on their official store and it doesnt have the Royal Court of Sweden logo it is exactly like the black one, but this is a cool video btw
I prefer the real one, because of the Arctic Foxes, but if you don't have enough money, the fake one is not bad at all. When I was in Sweden, I actually wanted to buy a real one, but its price was 1100 kr and I had only 900 kr left.
Um I think you mixed up the pictures because won the website the real ones looked liked the ones you labeled as fake
Why am I watching this i got mine at the official website what
I think the fake one is a réplica of and older version. I have an original kanken (from an oficial store) from 2016, and The fake one is really similar to it:
My kanken's original Tag was just like The fake's one.
The contact label si really similar too, mine doesnt have The shield this original version has.
And mine didn't have that round sticker in the inside either.
Edit: also some people here said the older version has The slimmer font too.
Thank u, it's very useful guide
Now i know, my kånken is real. :)
Just realising my 80 dollar kanken is fake 😂😂
my sister got me a fake kanken a couple months ago, before i got my real one for christmas my mum couldn’t tell the difference, although i could, i’m never going to use it which is a shame but it’s the colour that’s the only problem, it’s BRIGHT yellow and i really don’t like it, if she had gotten a different colour it would’ve been amazing though bc she also got a mini mint green one and it is beautiful
I have a really great fake as well, it's absolutely similar to the original, it was 65 dollars for me, and, knowing that it's fake, this backpack has an amazing quality and I absolutely satisfied xd
Hooray mines real I literally bought it of the website obi it is 😂
I'm literally getting the fake one cuz I'm broke.
Ooh very good video I wanting to get 1 for myself too on shopee the original store. I rather get the original one. thanks for sharing ^_^
Thanks for information
