i own both older and newer original kankens. tags as well as the name tag inside of older kanken match your fake one, so it is not a good indicator whether something is fake unless the store claims it is a new stock. best indicator would be the fabric, original kankens esp if newly bought are kind of hard and rough.
Yes, the fabric is what I mentioned during the video as well. The biggest indicator for it being fake, apart from the reflector and wrong writing, is also the price I paid. At that point I thought it was a bargain, which it really would have been if it had been an original one. But of course that was too good to be true. ;)
spent 120$ on my BIG kanken from urban and $11 dollars on a fake one from china and it’s waterproof, has reflective logo and is good thick quality 😌😌💓💓 can barely tell difference between them
I got a cheaper version of this bag on my vacation in Greece. I’m very pleased with it. Flimsy or full of plastic the bag does it’s job 😄 carrying stuff from vacation to the airport and back home 😁 I believe you use both of the backpacks. P.s I got it knowing is not the original and I didn’t have to pay that large amount of money as for the original.
I have seen so many videos on kanken about its authenticity. The circle above the A in kanken touches the A in mine too. But i have seen some videos where the circle above the A in kanken doesn’t touch. Can anyone tell me which one is real and which one is fake ??
I think it's different models and dates, I even saw a difference in different colors of the same style. But I am no expert. The best bet would be to look up your style and colour on the website or try to find a picture of a real one from when you got it.
My pink Kånken looks perfect, just as the original, the only exception is that the Å (which is its own letter in our own alphabet btw) is missing on the back label, so it must be a fake. Still love it though and it was cheap. 😊
Hello!Thank you for making this video! i just got mine and i was curious if its real or not! Thank god i think its real! On the newest models they put only one single tag?cuz i see some older reviews on the bag before i bought it and the bag seems to have 3 tags..
Not sure, I haven’t seen it. My fake one was from eBay. I know that Amazon also has a chance of selling fake items but often the biggest difference can be seen in price. If the one on Amazon is similarly priced to the ones from the Fjällräven website, it is probably a real one. If it’s oddly cheap, it’ll most likely be a fake. :)
Although I don’t think it’s a good thing to buy a fake, I’d rather pay 10/15 for a unbranded bag than paying 90/100 for that branded bag. They both look as flimsy and thin.
i’ve seen people who have had the same one for over 30 years with little to no damage whatsoever. they are incredibly high quality. also, they are so expensive because they promote sustainability and paying livable wages. you are paying for people to live comfortable happy lives rather than paying for a person in (usually asia) to hardly get payed and get worked to death. obviously i am not trying to sell you on it because i agree it is A LOT of money but i’d rather support a company that is paying their workers what they deserve and creating incredible quality items that will last decades than to support companies that only care about how much money they’re raking in themselves and don’t give a shit about quality.
@@alexissolivass8257 I agree 100% with you on that. If I could afford it I would rather have a ethically made one. But I still think it’s too expensive for what it is... what I meant was that I would just buy a simple canvas bag before I would buy a fake, especially if I was buying it knowing it was fake.
same I don't have any writing on the name tag talking about the brand if that is what you are referencing and the circle is detached on the a (but this is fine as I have heard it was changed and some have it and some don't). I got it from a charity shop so it likely could be real but Idk and while it looks genuine the fakes are getting so close and it's hard to tell. The most important thing is that it is durable.
I must say I am so impressed with the fake one I got! It passes all the tests! I will likely get a real one too but considering the investment, I wanted to make sure I would actually like wearing it before spending that much.
Oh that’s fair! There are a lot of different fakes out there, some better than others of course. But it’s good to be aware of it as well, because if you’re thinking you’re getting a real one and then you’re not, that’s just not great. 😄

I think the color of the fake one is prettier xD
It's a nice colour for sure, but the material is sooo flimsy compared to the original. Gotta give them credit for making it waterproof though. 🤣
It looks more faded. I like the color of the real one much more.
the colour of the fake one looks nicer but the quality of the real one is better
The fake ones colour is very faded. Doesn’t look good.

On the fake one the Swedish flag is inverted.
It’s upside down!
Yes I noticed that!

True, i bought the real one and quality is horrible. After 5 times used it look like garbagge
@ayuggie Yes, I 100% agree
Can you please give us the link of the fake one ?
@@ndeyewillier108 i don’t know it was like over a year ago 🥴 but im planning on order more soon so i’ll update you !
but you will know it's fake :D what is the point then

Who else is happy they got the real one I’m glad I wasn’t scammed of $90
Me too!
The inverted Swedish flag.
The line(s) added for address

actually some of the new kankens have the same address/name tag as the fake one you showed now!
Yes i thought so, too! I have old and new kankens and I have both nametags in it.
its not the same color the fake its another color in aliexpress i saw the saim color of the original
My pink Kånken looks perfect, just as the original, the only exception is that the Å (which is its own letter in our own alphabet btw) is missing on the back label, so it must be a fake. Still love it though and it was cheap. 😊
does tilly’s sell the real one? im thinking of buying it there
good quality filming!
Спасибо тебе, женщина.
You forgot the Swedish symbol on the A (ä) as it is not in the fake one in the Fjällräven logo at the front.
Good job. Thank you.
Hello!Thank you for making this video!
i just got mine and i was curious if its real or not!
Thank god i think its real!
On the newest models they put only one single tag?cuz i see some older reviews on the bag before i bought it and the bag seems to have 3 tags..
I got scamed with a fake one thinking im catching a sale lol but I got me a real no2 kanken mini in acorn but fake is cute though too
Do you think the Amazon kanken backpack is real?
Not sure, I haven’t seen it. My fake one was from eBay. I know that Amazon also has a chance of selling fake items but often the biggest difference can be seen in price. If the one on Amazon is similarly priced to the ones from the Fjällräven website, it is probably a real one. If it’s oddly cheap, it’ll most likely be a fake. :)
Can you give me the site of the original one?
I bought a mini backpack in Petticoat Lane Market for 8pound. I guess it's original but the logo is missing😂

You're probably poor and have to be cheap. Too bad. Quality is worth it. I prefer to pay more for the real bag.
@@blackie6771 this. 110 dollar for a bag that lasts a lifetime really isn't much
what website was the real one?
www.fjallraven.com/nl/nl-nl/tassen-uitrusting/kanken?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhIP6BRCMARIsALu9LfmH7HBhfJH1AVvhR2kpKnTw4UyAUEn_5RdpOrigaszlCnKd9jNqQXAaAgFGEALw_wcB
Me gusta más el color fake
Thank you
I wonder if the sloppy sewing one is actually from the factory, just a second/reject.
Helped a lot! tks
this was very good. many thanks Amara
The even fake the name tag and the Swedish flag. Unbelievable. 😡
The only problem on my kanken bag is I don't have the welcome to kanken card
same I don't have any writing on the name tag talking about the brand if that is what you are referencing and the circle is detached on the a (but this is fine as I have heard it was changed and some have it and some don't).

My kånken IS real and my foam piece is whiteish (color navy)
I’ve been using mine for months

I got duped. My brother knew before it even arrived, he said to cheap to be the real thing. He was right. It’s pretty a good dupe, but I’m sad.
what’s the link to the fake one?
This was just one on eBay. The seller does not exist anymore now.
Aliespress
Love everything you put out here! I was so surprised by the D U P B A G Y crossbody bag. love it!
Thank You For Wonderful Demonstration❤
I watched this to see if mine is real and it is🎉🎉🎉🎉
You need to be more prepared. Other comparison videos are better presented than yours. Please respect our time.
Sorryyyy! 😁😁
Well for starters the fake is a FJAL RAVEN and not a FJÄLL RÄVEN 😂
No no, it says FJALLRAVEN
Idk but my original one gets wet haha
They say water resistant, not water proof!
The fake one looks so fake 🙄
Boring bad vid😮
For the original is that shade the normal pink or the peach pink?
If I remember correctly, that was the normal pink. You can always check on their website. They still have all of the colours. :D
