Fjällräven Kånken Bags FAQs

Fjällräven Kånken Bags are offered in three primary sizes to suit different needs. The Kånken Mini holds 7 litres, making it ideal for children or minimalist day trips. The Classic model provides 16 litres of storage, perfect for daily essentials, school books or light commute items. For those needing to carry a laptop or larger documents, the Kånken Laptop comes in 13", 15" and 17" versions, each with a padded sleeve designed to protect electronic devices during travel.

Fjällräven Kånken Bags are crafted from Vinylon F, a synthetic fabric that swells when damp to block out light moisture and splashes. While not entirely waterproof in torrential rain, this water-resistant material combined with high-quality zippers helps keep contents dry in most everyday conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated rain cover is recommended to ensure full protection.

To maintain your Fjällräven Kånken Bag’s appearance and performance, hand wash it using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and stains, taking care not to twist or wring the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bag before air-drying it away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Regular cleaning will preserve the texture and longevity of the Vinylon F material without compromising its shape.

While the Classic Kånken does not include a dedicated laptop compartment, the Kånken Laptop models in 13", 15" and 17" sizes feature an integrated padded sleeve that holds devices securely. The sleeve sits flush against the wearer’s back for comfort and stability, while the wide zip opening allows easy access to technology and documents without compromising the bag’s clean, iconic silhouette.

Yes. The Re-Kånken range is made entirely from recycled polyester derived from plastic bottles, reducing environmental impact without altering the classic design. Each recycled bag undergoes the same quality checks and finishes, offering the familiar durability and shape retention while supporting more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Authentic Fjällräven Kånken Bags display a high-contrast, reflective Arctic Fox logo on the front pocket, precise and even stitching throughout and a woven care label inside with product details. Purchasing from authorised retailers such as The Sporting Lodge ensures genuine origin, backed by Fjällräven’s quality guarantee and ethical production standards.
