My HONEST Opinion on the Fjallraven Kanken Classic as a College Student

- This video is going to be my honest review/opinion of the classic Fjallravem kanken for college. This isn’t very technical, more just from my perspective as a student and my experience with the bag. I got it 4 years ago in my first year of college and I used it for my first and second year as well as on and off for the past couple years. Hope you enjoy or find this helpful :)

I'm pretty sure the side pockets are meant to hold umbrellas, hence why water bottles struggle to fit! :)
That makes sense!! Thanks for telling me hahah
My hydroflask fits in mine it’s a 16 ounce I think
You can get attachments for the Kanken on their website it works great 👍
I have the 15” laptop version and it’s pretty good aside from the lack of organisation. I’d definitely recommend it over the classic, but I do intend on getting the 15” laptop kanken no 2 in all black as it has a more professional and sleek look while having the design I want. I do plan on getting the kanken water bottle pocket and organiser with it though
i actually heard that those “water bottle pockets” are umbrella pockets. but they have this add on for a water bottle. it’s like an insert. i might get but it looks good.
Yesss I realize that now🥲 thanks for telling me!
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment :) Time stamps are also in the description!
Hi I was wondering did you get the mini or the bigger one?
@@elizabethgrace7934 This one is the bigger one :) I have a video on the mini too (its black)
@@mckennaalara ok thank you I am getting one today so I really happy I getting that big one
@@mckennaalara which colors
I’m glad you suggested choosing another bag eventhough the kanken is nice because others are cheaper but still can last years too.
this was such a beautiful video, thank you for sharing!
Great review. Thank you 🌻
Thank you very much for your review! ^^
Thanks for watching!
I like the standard style with these bags but I agree the logo suuucks. Pretty much all the non normal Kanken bags come with a stitched logo that look much better which is kinda upsetting. The classic styles logo just ruins every color combination unless you get red or white
I'm really debating on if I should get it or not. The backpack is so cute and my style. But the issue is, as you said the straps would get very uncomfortable if you carry a lot of things. And also that it's not really organized *sigh*. The whole point with a backpack for me is that you can carry a lot of stuff without worrying that the straps would make you uncomfortable let alone being organized ://
Yes I have the same thoughts!! I bought this because everyone was saying they were durable but I wish someone had told me how uncomfortable the straps are 🙃 I actually have another one but the laptop version and I find it’s wayyy more comfortable bc the straps are more padded and it comes with its own laptop compartment. It is more expensive tho🥲
@@mckennaalara I've also thought about maybe getting the bigger kånken but I'm afraid that it will look too big on me (I'm 157 cm/5'2.) Also how waterproof is the bag? I've heard that it doesn't tolerate heavy rain
@@auroraa4690 I think you would be okay because I think it is a bit smaller than other bags in the market 😊And I haven't been in a situation where I am outside in heavy rain for long periods of time but it has handled well in rainy situations since it is a bit water resistant! It's not completely water proof though so thats important to consider😅
yea the straps are not very comfortable:( i have a mini and a sling one the mini i usually carry by the top handle bc of the uncomfortable straps
I've got one and I'd say if you want something that looks good, is if good quality and light weight on the shoulders then I would say go for it. If you need organization pockets rather get doughnut macaroon.
I have the bag and imo it's really good, especially for school - it fits a lot, really pretty and versatile, and spacious. Aside from the water bottle thing it's great and comfy to wear :)
what is your opinion of it when it holds heavy textbooks? x
It is very versatile! Also doesn’t look super bulky :)
@@mckennaalara I just got two one black and one pink :D
I feel like I have a problem with the straps for a totally different reason.
hii do you think it's still worth buying the bag secondhand (used as a baby bag, has had it for 5 years) for 40 dollars? i'm planning to use it as a school bag :)
Yes
If you can’t afford a new one, then second hand is great. Would recommend trying to get a 15” laptop kanken or even the 13” laptop kanken if you don’t already own one as you have an extra compartment for your tablet, laptop or even loose sheets/extra notebooks and they have built in padding on the shoulder straps
Thank you for your review! You are gorgeous btw!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What size is that?
Is this bag brand new or have you used it
I’ve had it for 4 years!
I got one from a thrift shop I checked and it's legit and on the small pocket it has embroidered "Big" I've been checking and can't find it.
I only found the ones with mini embroidered online
Yeah those aren’t water bottle pockets. So yeah, they won’t fit water bottles.
those are NOT water bottle pockets.
There are many fake Kankens out there. You can recognize any fake ones by the logo. As far as I know, the circle needs to be attached to the 'a' of Kanken.
