First introduced in 1978 - The Kanken backpack has become an iconic symbol of classic functional Swedish design. After engaging in the "back debates" of the late 1970's in Sweden, Fjallraven founder Ake Nordin developed a simple yet functional backpack with the help of The Swedish Guide and Scout Association. This revolutionary design now known as the Kanken evenly distributed the bag's weight to both shoulders which led to reduced back problems in Sweden. Not much has changed since 1978. We've added more colors and a few new models including mini and laptop versions. The Kanken is made of Vinylon F, a highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use. Since 1960 Fjallraven has stayed true to its mission; developing timeless, functional and durable outdoor equipment while acting responsibly toward people, animals and the environment. Inspired by the outdoors, Fjallraven inspires others to get outside!

Also, one other dead giveaway is the spelling error on the tag. Fjalleaven? I don't think so. I'm absolutely disgusted at what I've received. I have attached photos as proof and to help other buyers identify fake backpacks. I've also included a comparison of the tag against the one..
Customer Video Review Length:: 3:26 Mins First backpack received was a fake, but the second one ordered through Prime was legit. It's a great design that is stylish and appears durable. I'll be updating this review after putting it through the rigors of day to day use. I decided on this pack after my long search for the perfect minimalist backpack. It's about as minimal as can be while still being able to hold a laptop, textbooks, notebooks, or a variet..
