If anyone is confuse, Fjallraven updates their Kanken bags yearly. The swedish flag is the latest model but to anyone who doesnt have a swedish flag and has a legit model, its because you have an older model.
You can have the store fix the stitching for you,they fix all bags since they are under for life warranty They won’t replace the bag though Just fix stitching
in mine the A in Kanken has a circle on top which is connected to the A rather than not but the rest looks exactly the same (foxes, buckle, material, everything)
My label is a little whack but otherwise it’s super convincing (still made of polyvinyl alcohol and it has everything else mentioned.) It was cheap so I don’t really care if it’s real or fake😂 I just hope it’s durable!!
Clara Kushnir Then you don’t have to worry. There could be a high chance that it is real. You might have one of the Original Fjallraven model. Because Fjallraven updates there backpacks almost every year apparently.
My Kanken has all the signs of authenticity , but the tag inside the bag says 100% Vinyal instead of polyvinyl alcohol and I don’t know if that means it’s a fake
I just found out the one and only dead giveaway to tell If your Kånken is real. Inside the backpack you’ll obviously find the personal data tag. Look at the lettering. Even super fakes get this wrong. Look at where it says “we launched Kånken” and _Kånkens_ , fake ones never put this sort of (å), in that part, they just put it like a normal (a), also, the “Kånkens” part should be in cursive where as the fake ones aren’t.
I bought 2 of these from the same place. They have all the correct things listed to be real however one doesn't have the swedish flag on the inside and sone of the Fox buttons aren't oriented downwards. Does that mean it is fake?
The counterfeits are getting better and more convincing because people are not paying attention to where they get the bag from. My suggestion is to just buy from the website directly. It will be more expensive, but your paying for the real deal and you wont be wasting your time trying to see if they're real. If you want a cheaper bag, expect a dupe. Thats just how it is.
All the signs that show my fjallraven is authentic follows accordingly to my bag EXCEPT the buttons. Theyre facing different directions but othet than that its fine :(( its waterproof, the details are correct and the stitching is amazing. :((
Mine fits all of the criteria except the tag says "vinylal" instead of "polyvinyl alcohol" (not sure but it could be the same thing). Could it be a fake?
Got mine from Amazon too and everything seemed in order until I checked the buttons and the fabric that makes up the back panel. Dont buy from Amazon. Amazon is reliable for random purchases but when you want something specific and Amazon just so happens to have it, chances are that the buyer is selling counterfeits. Check the fabric that makes up the back panel from the inside, if its fraying, its fake.
NVL , no it's not i bought mine directly from the website and two of my buttons where upside down so I contacted the company and they said they would send me a replacement and I sent the messed up one back and got a new one so just contact them
I was in the same postion! The interior on mine is not stiched up like here either! But worry not I got mine in 2016 and apparently the older models don’t have the flag or the stiching folded so don’t worry! I’m sure it’s real if everything else is the same as the video x
I wouldn’t be worried if it doesn’t have the Swedish flag. My friends and I bought Kankens directly from a Fjallraven store and my friends backpacks don’t have the Swedish flag
i got one a while ago, and just got another one today. the first one has everything. the second one has everything except for the buttons. two of them are angled sideways, and only one is correct. they also say "guang tong". did i get a fake?
I have almost everything checked off, except the loose threads. I’m not sure if it’s because I got it in the 50% off sale, but it most definitely could be a fake website. I paid £39.99 and everything checks off it just seems bad quality. And the rope on the tags isn’t the same but I’m not sure does anyone know?
omg hahaha, i bought this backpack for 15 euros thinking it was fake but it has all of these things, the flag the logo the letters, the straps. Did i just do an awesome purchase without even knowing? woahh
Wait I just got one yesterday from a store in the mall and it was legit I think I got it for about 100 $ and but there are a few loose threads that are tiny, is that bad?? But it had I guess everything in the video
Same here! It has everything an authentic Fjallraven should have except the circle is connected to the A and the two dots on top of both A's look bolder. I'm really unsure since I bought it for the original price and off of Amazon prime instead of some random website or seller.
My friend had one but it seems fake compared to mine. like the color isn’t the same compared to what they are supposed to look like, it looks more plastic like and hers came with Swedish fish but idk if that’s normal?
It depends how much you paid. If you paid £25 or less personally I'd be happy but if you spending £50/$60 I'd try and get refund through PayPal or your credit card. They fakes are really good ans last. I'm happy with my fake
lmao I ordered two for like £50 from this website and it’s been like 4months and there’s no sign of it. Just wasted my money. I would’ve been happy with 2 bags, even if they were fake.
I spoke to the company and they said if there are very low prices or big sales, they are counter-fit products. They said the ONLY place to purchase in the us is Fjallraven.us or Urban outfitters
My bag is almost the same as the original, there is a swedish flag too, but the buttons look bright, and I just realized, it was written made of china,so sad 😂 i think of course that fakes.
I own two fake Kankens, and I'm saving up on finally buying a real one. The video is informative, yes, but what really determines authenticity are the fabric quality and stitching. I swear. Fake Kankens have rougher fabric, yet they're less durable because of the basic stitching (like it was sewn just for the sake of producing them, and not really caring about the quality). Real Kankens have a different fabric texture (more pleasant to touch), and they have top-notch stitching. My fake Kankens are (#1) one classic-sized (16L) in peach pink and (#2) one big-sized (20L) in yellow. Counterfeit Kanken sellers still sell the 20L size, but the official, legit website has phased out the 20L product line, for some reason. Durability-wise, both fakes are good WITHIN THEIR CAPACITY, of course. I cannot stress this enough. I've used both fake Kankens beyond their capacity, and both have performed differently. My fake 20L started getting damaged a month after using it, and I have no plans of having it repaired. Meanwhile, my 16L is still intact, and I've used it for six months now.
lol. Its not that easy. There are fake Kankens which have nearly the price of real ones. But with loose threads, bad materials and bad sewing the fake Kanken will be obsolete much earlier.
But does it backpack better or worse because of it? I get that if you pay 108 dollars for one(that's the price in Denmark rip) it's a good quality and it will last for life maybe. But what about the fake one, do yours last or did you burn it?
@@instantlockyasuo6896 well as I just found out I got a counterfeit... it was just 16€ tho so I'm not surprised and after a week of use the paint of the zipper already wears off so I don't think it will last longer than a few months
Be sure that the Kånken showed in this Video is an original. And if you look closely (maybe set you video quality to HD) at 0:43 you clearly can see the swedish Å
If anyone is confuse, Fjallraven updates their Kanken bags yearly. The swedish flag is the latest model but to anyone who doesnt have a swedish flag and has a legit model, its because you have an older model.
Thank you! Got worried there for a bit...
Oh okay. Thank god cuz mine has everything authentic but it just doesn’t have the flags
thank you, i got worried
How do u know that this is true?
Thank you I was genuinely worried!
My bag has some loose threads on the stitching but that's only because I've had it a while
Rachel Hansen yeah same. mine is so old i don’t even remember if it had the swedish flag on it or not lol
You can have the store fix the stitching for you,they fix all bags since they are under for life warranty
They won’t replace the bag though
Just fix stitching
Only newer kankens have got a swedish flag inside
in mine the A in Kanken has a circle on top which is connected to the A rather than not but the rest looks exactly the same (foxes, buckle, material, everything)
mine too
My label is a little whack but otherwise it’s super convincing (still made of polyvinyl alcohol and it has everything else mentioned.) It was cheap so I don’t really care if it’s real or fake😂 I just hope it’s durable!!
Mine has exactly EVERYTHING you mentioned except it doesn't have a Swedish flag
Clara Kushnir Then you don’t have to worry. There could be a high chance that it is real. You might have one of the Original Fjallraven model. Because Fjallraven updates there backpacks almost every year apparently.

No the one without the Swedish flag might just be an old model but if the buttons aren't orientated down then it's fake
Depends on which seller you bought it from.
The counterfeits are getting better and more convincing because people are not paying attention to where they get the bag from. My suggestion is to just buy from the website directly.

Mine dosent have a Wasa6 it has stars instead:(
Just a random person same
Mine too
Just a random person Then it could be fake.
All the signs that show my fjallraven is authentic follows accordingly to my bag EXCEPT the buttons. Theyre facing different directions but othet than that its fine :(( its waterproof, the details are correct and the stitching is amazing. :((
I bought mine on wish for $15 and it has everything... lol 🤣 maybe they accidentally sent me a real one
@@hollycarrr me too!
Mine too just there is no label for material, the buttons are not downwards and there are å and ä missing inside on name tag
Mine fits all of the criteria except the tag says "vinylal" instead of "polyvinyl alcohol" (not sure but it could be the same thing). Could it be a fake?
someone someone Me too
Same it’s not a fake on
I have the same question...did you find out if it's the same thing?
someone someone same here
nah its real. mine also has that but im sure it’s real.
Mine has everything else, but is made with vinylal does that mean it's fake?
I got mine for $80 off of amazon
It has everything expect the foam backing....still real ?
Got mine from Amazon too and everything seemed in order until I checked the buttons and the fabric that makes up the back panel. Dont buy from Amazon. Amazon is reliable for random purchases but when you want something specific and Amazon just so happens to have it, chances are that the buyer is selling counterfeits.

fjällräven känken always comes with a foam seat so maybe it is fake.. :/ be careful
katie nguyen some companies take them out. Don’t understand why but, at malls sometimes they take them out: ex. Urban Outfitters
My bag's logo is a little tilted not straight, but I think it's a real one
mine has everything but says it’s 100% vinylal ???
All the criterias fit, but the buttons on my bag don't face to the same direction 😢 is my bag fake?
NVL , no it's not i bought mine directly from the website and two of my buttons where upside down so I contacted the company and they said they would send me a replacement and I sent the messed up one back and got a new one so just contact them
Hi, my kanken has all the things it needs to be a real one, but it doesn't has the swedish flag, do you think it's fake or real??
Don´t know, the Flag is only one of the indicators. The stiff material and good stitching is more obvious fake or not.
I was in the same postion! The interior on mine is not stiched up like here either! But worry not I got mine in 2016 and apparently the older models don’t have the flag or the stiching folded so don’t worry! I’m sure it’s real if everything else is the same as the video x
I wouldn’t be worried if it doesn’t have the Swedish flag. My friends and I bought Kankens directly from a Fjallraven store and my friends backpacks don’t have the Swedish flag
The newer models have the flag, if you don’t then it’s an older model
Older versions don't have it
i got one a while ago, and just got another one today. the first one has everything. the second one has everything except for the buttons. two of them are angled sideways, and only one is correct. they also say "guang tong". did i get a fake?
Chelsea Williams probably :(

Mine doesn’t say it’s made out of polyvinyl Alcohol but it does have everything else, including the Swedish flag. would it be real or fake ?
i have the same question
if it says "vinylal" it's real
omg hahaha, i bought this backpack for 15 euros thinking it was fake but it has all of these things, the flag the logo the letters, the straps. Did i just do an awesome purchase without even knowing? woahh
mines fake and literally has all of them...
What if mine just says vinyl and not alcohol ? Is it fake
Vinylon F is polyvinyl alcohol. They are the same thing.
Wait I just got one yesterday from a store in the mall and it was legit I think I got it for about 100 $ and but there are a few loose threads that are tiny, is that bad?? But it had I guess everything in the video
My Kanken has the dote on top of the A connected to the A. It has everything else but could it be fake?
0_o Hi mine is the same ! I’m really worried
Same here! It has everything an authentic Fjallraven should have except the circle is connected to the A and the two dots on top of both A's look bolder. I'm really unsure since I bought it for the original price and off of Amazon prime instead of some random website or seller.
same im so scared!
did you ever find out the answer to this???
The bag in the video may be a fake. The o should be connected to the A
Mine is made out of polyvinyl alcohol but the seller said she washed it so it’s not water proof anymore.. is this real?
mine has everything right, it’s just that the material feels cheap... is it supposed to feel like a walmart bag?
Hello. The material of the real ones feels quite stiff and woven very fine.
I bought my Kånken in a local shop an everything is alright with it but there is one bad seam on the outside. Can that be a sign of it beeing a fake?
No
I have everything except the last 2 numbers on the tag are different
Can someone answer me please so if you have all of this that he mentioned in the video or she mentioned in the video is it real?
the Video shows a 100% original Kanken from the Fjäll Räven outlet store Naturkompaniet in north sweden.
why is my kanken cheap and original? 😮
my kanken doesn’t have a colored print on the label but is black or is it fake?
Mine too
Lmao I bought mine off eBay and it has exactly everything for 30 something dollars
Oh. I got all of these features but I think I got an older model
what if it's being shipped from china
don't trust it, if its from china its probably fake
My friend had one but it seems fake compared to mine. like the color isn’t the same compared to what they are supposed to look like, it looks more plastic like and hers came with Swedish fish but idk if that’s normal?
tresmariasofny fjallraven gives swedish fish with the bag
the backpack on the video is that a real one or fake ? please anyone tell me
100% real, we have several ones right from Fjäll Räven Store
My friend ask if my kanken is fake because is authentic and theirs is waterproof material
I think my Kanken bag is real because it had everything that it had in the video except the Swedish flag. Would it be considered a real kanken bag?
They changed the flag tag some time ago. If the other overall quality is fine and the sews inside are clean, it may be a original.
It said 100% vynilal
was i not supposed to take out the foam ? oops
The foam helps to keep the general shape and is a sit cushion.
I just got mine. And it’s fake 100%. And it’s not returnable. Idk what to do...😬😓
It depends how much you paid. If you paid £25 or less personally I'd be happy but if you spending £50/$60 I'd try and get refund through PayPal or your credit card. They fakes are really good ans last. I'm happy with my fake
Same lmao but I paid 16€ so not that surprising 😂
Original: Made in China
Fake: Made in China
'nough said.
I have all of it except the swedish flag, it’s bcs i bought it in Indonesia? Some one help me
Thank u
Jesy Silaen the flag is on the newer models. You might have an older one.
lmao I ordered two for like £50 from this website and it’s been like 4months and there’s no sign of it. Just wasted my money. I would’ve been happy with 2 bags, even if they were fake.
I just bought the real one but is so cheap! Its like $20 or $19
Lemonine ahhh! Awesome! I found this website fjallravenonline.com , and they are selling kanken bags for 39.99, I don’t know if I should buy though!
I just bought one but I feel like it’s fake :(( 💔
Spicy Jupiter did you end up buying it from there?
Spicy Jupiter hey I ordered a kanken from there and it just came it’s pretty great and authentic
I spoke to the company and they said if there are very low prices or big sales, they are counter-fit products. They said the ONLY place to purchase in the us is Fjallraven.us or Urban outfitters
Only one of my buttons was facing the wrong way but everything else is good
yeah same here
My bag is almost the same as the original, there is a swedish flag too, but the buttons look bright, and I just realized, it was written made of china,so sad 😂 i think of course that fakes.
why does my kanken have a reflective strip at the bottom?
I got scammed lmfao I noticed bc of the color orchid but it came in a magenta color
Why other kankens don’t have sweden flag on the tag inside then that backpack have like i need justices 😂haha jk
JD Llanes on some kankens swedish flag can be found, on some not. The fact that there is no swedish flag on your kanken doesn't make it a fake bag.
mine was made in London
Who take of this foam for back? ~ yep. ME.
mine has most of thr things
I got mine in London for 40
I for sure have the real backpack
Bought mine for 17 euro's on AliExpress. Looks real, has all the things you said, so if it's fake: who cares, its still a lovely bag 🙏

Am I the only one not getting this? Both bags carry stuff, but does it carry stuff better if it's real one or?
