For the bag bring water proof, I was coming home from a evening event and a strong storm rolled into my area and the rain was so strong when driving home it looked like we were going through a strong flowing car wash-not exaggerating - and when we got home the rain had not let up- we had to run inside and my dad and I were soaked we looked completely drenched. My hair looked like I came out of the shower and the walk from the drive way was 10-15 steps. We were wet but nothing in my bag-I had notebooks in there- none of them were wet or damp. I guess rain could seep in if you were to stand out in the rain for a while like any other bag but this bag was amazing at keeping my items dry in a strong downpour!!
Thank you. One of the reasons I was most hesitant about this bag was what people were saying about the waterproofing but all I really need it to do is survive the rain so I appreciate you sharing your experience.
this is honestly the greatest video i’ve ever watched when it came to the overall review of the kånken product!! i bought one in graphite and after the first day only i fell in love with the thing, it’s just so perfect for my everyday life when i’m out and about without having the clunkiness of other backpacks. after using kipling backpacks for the longest time, they’ve got nothing on these…
wow! thanks for leaving this comment. i’m very flattered that you enjoyed my review and are enjoying your backpack! graphite was a great choice! this backpack is truly ideal for daily wear! so light!!
ik this review is old but just wanna say its not waterproof, its water resistant. it still keeps water out well but after a few years it becomes less water resistant and not too long after i got mines it got damp and you can feel the dampness from the inside and sometimes things in the front pocket got a tiny bit damp but havent had really any problems with the main pocket and it still is really good for in the rain just something to keep in mind especially if you put anything valuable in the front pocket.
hey!! thanks so much! hahha the monstera i am very proud of because i bought it when it only had 4 leaves and it is the first time i succeeded in keeping a plant alive!! as for the beauty and the beast clock.. it was a gift from my sister in law so it must be placed in a visible spot lol. i think it is a bit too fancy for my taste but i do like me some cogsworth 😂
I have the same one and I use it everyday. Overtime it slightly fades in colour but it holds for years and can easily be washed. If you are going to.used it e eryday then I would get a dark colour such as navy, black or fog...but its darkish. Don't get yellow, white or light pink if ypu are going to use it everyday
thank you! i didn’t know you could wash it! so far, mine still looks pretty good! i think your suggestion is a great one. i also recommend a darker color id anyone is reading this!! thanks for stopping by and leaving such a helpful comment 💕💕
i just saw this! hope you’re still interested in the umbrella.. the brand is called original duckhead✨ there are many colorways! i got mine from shopbop💜 thanks for stopping by!
I’m 5’4 also! I’ve been debating about the classic size worried was going to look too big on me or weird. I wanted to try the classic because the mini straps are kinda short. Do you use it has a daily/purse bag?
two years and it’s still water- resistant. not exactly waterproof. that was my mistake calling it waterproof bc if u submerge it in water, water will seep in.. but it holds up well in rain
Thank u so much for sharing. Very helpful knowing pros n cons! Im thinking of buying the classic size and want to fit in 14" laptop hopefully in that slot with the seatpad. Is it too tight?
sorry for getting back to you so late! i disn’t think anyone was watching this 😅 i have a macbook pro 13” and it fits.. i want to say that i think you’ll be ok… but i can’t be sure :( but maybe you already purchased one…
thank you for watching my video!! 💕 it makes me so happy to hear that you’’ll be getting the same one! i wear mine twice a week and am liking it so far. hope you enjoy yours too!!
hi! im personally not usually a pink kinda person so i would choose grey (since it’s neutral and i don’t get sick of neutrals as quickly)...but seeing your profile pic, i think pink would be so cute too! you can’t go wrong :)
@@annettelee5791 aww thank you! Even though I’m 23 years old I really like bright colors but I’m scared it won’t fit with my other outfits, because I’m a lawyer haha but I’ll take the risk, your style is so cool I love it!
@@MrCag97 that is so sweet of you! 💕💕 i think because if covid, im starting to become attracted to pops of color. i think pink will be so cute on you and is such a fun choice. i know being a lawyer is a serious job, but you’re only 23, so i don’t think a bright color would be considered unprofessional- maybe just youthful 😋
Hi! I got the laptop version, do you feel the water soak in a bit when you pull the water on the bag? It looks like your bag can hold the water better than mine, but suppose they are the same materials haha
hi! hmm i wonder why that is! i wore mine in the rain a few times (i had an umbrella but still) i only had issues with water seeping through the zipper area not the canvas material itself. that’s so strange!!
Hello I really like your video but I would have a question: which bag did you take from the collection and is it all waterproof? I hope you can answer me I would like to buy 1; ^;
Hi! It isnt waterproof (my bad for saying that in the video) it is water resistant haha so u cant put items in the bag and dunk it in the ocean or something.. but if youre rained on, it should be fine!! My color is fog /stripe grey :)
hi! thanks for appreciating my duck umbrella! 🐤hahah, i got mine from shopbop! the company is called original duckhead umbrella. i have posted the link to the website so u can see all the different colors! www.originalduckhead.com/shop
@@annettelee5791 My boyfriend has an umbrella with a duck head on it like yours. His is insanely old & worn out, unfortunately. I might just have to surprise him with a new one! Thanks for the link!
I doubt they're umbrella pockets, there's 2 of them - who uses 2 umbrellas? Maybe they're just for putting stiffening panels into, to help maintain the pack's shape when it's on your back.
that’s a good point! a lot of people were saying theyre water bottle holders but the opening is so narrow that i end up putting my phone in it for easy access.

yo, i was wondering if this "waterproof" ability lasts forever or do we need to re wax it?
i appreciate you reveiwing the backpack properly and actually trying it on so we can see the size of it, thank you love
hi!! thank you for your kind comment!! i lovee mod shots so i had to include it, glad to help:)

Not meant for washing machine, just soft sponge & mild detergent. Otherwise it affects the wear and waterproofing
Thanks for sharing your care tips!
Yes it does. Wasn’t me that did it lol

omgg love that duck umbrella!! where is it from?
i just saw this! hope you’re still interested in the umbrella.. the brand is called original duckhead✨ there are many colorways! i got mine from shopbop💜 thanks for stopping by!
I’m 5’4 also! I’ve been debating about the classic size worried was going to look too big on me or weird. I wanted to try the classic because the mini straps are kinda short. Do you use it has a daily/purse bag?
i use it once a week to carry books to the academy i teach at! it’s still holding up quite well! :) what will u be using it for?
question, is the "waterproof" ability lasts forever or do we need to re-wax it?
two years and it’s still water- resistant. not exactly waterproof. that was my mistake calling it waterproof bc if u submerge it in water, water will seep in.. but it holds up well in rain
What size laptop do you have in your bag? I have the 15 inch MacBook with a sleeve and I’m concerned about not having enough space.
hi! im sorry i just saw this! i have an older 5in macbook pro and it fits fine!! :) i have a hard case over mine and i have a little room to spare
Does anyone know how to “fix the waterproof”? I bought mine 2nd hand & they ran it through the washer. It’s not waterproof anymore. 😬
wow thank you for this awesome tip!
Thank u so much for sharing. Very helpful knowing pros n cons! Im thinking of buying the classic size and want to fit in 14" laptop hopefully in that slot with the seatpad. Is it too tight?

Scared to get this cause I’m afraid people will make fun of me for getting a vsco😃 bag😐🧍🏽♀️
😂😂don’t worry, no one has told me that to my face
What size is this one the 13, 15 or 17?
💓You’re so cute! I loved the video and am probably going to get one in the same color

Hi, thank you!! i got mine on shopbop.com! it’s in the color FOG-STRIPED :)
Annette Lee ok I’m going to get one ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
so happy to hear that. hope you enjoy yours 💕
Does it gets stained easily?
i bought grey on purpose so it can hide any minor stains or dirt! i wear mine twice a week and it’s holding up really well!!
What's the name of the colour
sorry for the late reply! it’s called fog- striped!

most bags have 2 waterbottle holders. who has 2 waterbottles?
Amy Goody very thirsty people?! hahah idk 😐
@@rock-jb5xc you dont need two water bottles to have two pouches
@@tiffanydlo.x i know i said 'who has 2 waterbottles?' because the original comment said 'who has 2 umbrellas?'
Nope water resistant fjallraven kanken said so
yes water resistant not proof. thank you!
