Cute, True Navy at a Perfect Size... Yet still roomy.
Great bag and seems original or Authentic. We have the Coral that we have had for 10 years and my youngest wanted one as well. I love the true Navy color with the red contrast. Nice adjustability of the straps for children and adults wearing. Nice inner sleeve on back wall pocket, double zipper closure and front zippered pocket. It has two small outer side pockets. as well. Beig the material they are made with it doe take time to break in and soften. It is hard and crunchy a bit and stiff, but this will break in over time as our older one has. It is perfect proportionately for my 11 year old and she loves it as her new purse. Good Value as we have had are old for years and it's still going strong. Probably can be washed gentle in machine air dried though I haven't tried Great for traveling and placing inside another bag if needed. many sizes, but the mini was perfect for us. Holds a lot the mini. Sunglasses w/ case, wallet, 20oz Water bottle, mini umbrella, phone, Makeup and could fit more. it can become more deep if you release the snaps of the handles and fit a good amount and doesn't look bulky. Great bag and company, the quality is ther and the Authenticity, Does Not come with paperwork as I am unsure if the older one did. Came packaged okay. Durable for sure. I wouldn't keep extremely heavy items inside and weight the bag but it will definitely last years to come.

Great bag, there will be no water bottle.
Seems like good quality and durable fabric. We'll see how well it holds up as time goes on.Holds a lot of stuff in the main pocket. Spacious and the zippers open really far so it's easy to pack.Front pocket is a little small imo. I can't fit my wallet in it but it'll hold keys or fruit snacks.Side pockets are also a little small. Fits a phone, but that's about it.They will not fit a water bottle. No matter how small you think your bottle is, it won't fit. I promise.Maybe, maybe a small disposable plastic one would fit but I doubt it. Id say it would only old a normal baby bottle.That's really the only negative this bag has. I know the reviews all warn water bottles won't fit so I'm not surprised or anything. Just really wish it would fit one. T^T

Love everything about it!
LOVE this backpack! Durable, yet not stiff. Love that different straps enable you to carry it in a variety of ways. Holds a lot, but it's not too big. Fair price for quality and functionality.

It’s adorable!!!!
Just received it yesterday and as u can see I’ve already attacked this bag with pins and keychains. By all of the tags and the logo in the front it all looks authentic. Came with all the same tags the others I’ve gotten in the past from the kanken site so it looks to be legit. If you have one of these bags in the graphite color this super gray color looks very similar, I have the sling in the graphite and the graphite is just a bit more on the bluish side. I have a few of these bags and I highly recommend them, be mindful that if your on the tall side or if you’re on the thicker or heavy side the straps may be too short, go with the original size instead. If you’re 5’4” and under and/or on the thinner side and thinking about getting this bag go for it! Great quality bags especially if you have little ones, they can use them too. And they always fit the essentials I need for them, the mini size holds a lot! I can carry pull ups for my son, wipes, makeup bag, wallet ice breakers gum (which is a big container), mints, my ray bans, keys, hand sanitizer spray, bottle for my son, small toy for my daughter, and several other things in the main compartment alone with a little room to spare and I have several small items in the front pocket. Very cute little bags and worth the price imo.

... is my first Fjallraven Kanken ever and overall I'm pretty pleased with what I received
This is my first Fjallraven Kanken ever and overall I'm pretty pleased with what I received. My review is mostly a first impressions-type. I can confirm that what I purchased from the seller, "BestMarketDealz" was in fact an authentic piece. Amazon doesn't encourage you to point out the seller through reviews like this, but since Amazon has already had several fakes slip through, I thought I'd mention it because there's nothing worse than paying for something at the authentic price and receiving a subpar fake. I could've ordered from eBay instead for a bit less (around the $55 range including shipping from reputable sellers) but I wanted this to have Guaranteed Prime shipping so I went with Amazon/BestMarketDealz for a cool $63.89; still a bit less than $70 retail and I didn't have to pay tax through this seller.Marks of authenticity include YKK on the sides of the zippers, along with "WASA 6" under the snap button closures. The "ART" number on the sticker of the kraft paper tab matches the interior fabric tab number (23561 for the Sky Blue color) and the inside label also has the Swedish flag present and sewn in the correct place. I'm sure there are other ways to verify authenticity but these were the ones right off the bat that I noticed based on other reviews I've read on here.The fabric feels sort of like a heavily starched fabric which leads me to believe why the waterproofing could be damaged/reduced effectively by throwing it in the washing machine which I've read you should NOT do if you want to preserve the Kanken's water resistance and also it's color, which would likely dramatically fade in the wash as I've seen one YouTuber do.I deducted a star because for a highly priced backpack such as this, I would've expected much cleaner sewing, especially on the front circle patch where it's most noticeable. Mine is a bit off-center and has a fabric notch at one of the ends. Not a big deal after I saw some other reviewers with patches sewn in similar fashion, but a bit disappointing for the price. It's not like these are the Hermès of backpacks or anything, but I've seen some $10 Dickies with better sewing at Ross. The fact that these bags are also outsourced, Vietnam for the Mini Kankens and China for the other sizes, gives an heir of degradation in quality that does not quite live up to the asking price. Now I'm well aware factories, no matter the location or the people that run it, can produce well under the right leadership and quality checks, this was not just up to par when you consider cheaper backpacks that have better quality sewing elsewhere. Other than that, the Sky Blue color is beautiful.At first I couldn't decide with which blue to go with: Air Blue, Blue Ridge or Sky Blue, because if you look up some of the colors and the corresponding product photos they vary a LOT to the point that it's difficult to pin down what exactly is the true color IRL. The same Sky Blue featured on Amazon could look completely different than the Sky Blue Kanken product photo offered on Urban Outfitters, ASOS, Nordstrom, or even the main Fjallraven Kanken website itself! Combine those discrepancies with Urban Outfitters even renaming "Sky Blue" to "Teal" just adds to the confusion.The Sky Blue color is a bit of chameleon as I imagine some other Kanken colors are as well. It morphs like mad depending on lighting and atmospheric conditions. In my photos, the camera really only picks up the true blue tones but my eyes pick up the hints of green/teal more easily IRL. This subtlety is lost with my camera despite me taking photos of it in a neutral white room. The nylon strap parts are also a slightly different tone of blue than the overall bag, but that makes sense because the straps are a different material and would take dye differently than Vinylon F. It adds character and I think it's cool Fjallraven tries to match the zipper paint coating, thread and straps to the main bag color. I sort of wish the zipper material was of better quality, perhaps a metal zipper instead of plastic. Something about plastic makes me think it won't last nearly as long. I've seen some people be rough with the zippers on YouTube and have been fine, but others were not as lucky with zippers coming off the tracks/teeth.The side pocket fits my OnePlus 3 (152.7mm/6.01in height x 74.7mm/2.94in wide x 7.35mm/0.289in diameter) which is great for being on the go and needing quick access but I would say it's not safe when traveling to do this obviously. I'll update the review once I've worn it out for a bit.Without ordering the other blue colors I considered and just based on observation, I'm guessing Air Blue is more of a vibrant pool blue, Blue Ridge a sort of greyed mid-tone denim blue and Sky Blue being a greyed light blue with hints of teal and green added in while being dramatically less green next to Frost Green. If you're having a hard time deciding, I did consider buying from sellers that offered Free Returns to try them all and send back the ones I didn't want but after watching some YouTube videos and comparing Google Image searches of each color on different tabs in Chrome, I concluded Sky Blue would've been my favorite anyway.Also a word of caution, if you aren't in a hurry and want to find better prices on eBay or elsewhere, be extremely careful of fakes. Only buy from sellers that have a few hundred or thousands of reviews/ratings. I've seen some sellers with 0 ratings sell Mini Kankens for $25 and some people actually bought them as eBay will show how many have been sold. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. But $40-50 seems pretty realistic. And if you buy in person, you know what marks to look for.

Super awesome tiny little bag
I have a 15'' laptop Kanken bag already I use for school, but wanted something smaller to use instead of a purse and the Kanken Mini is perfect.Note- it is a very small bag. Hence the name Mini. But it's enough to carry around for an day outing.I usually carry around my Kindle Fire, a small paperback, classic sized moleskine journal, wallet, earbuds, and general incontinence (lip balm, travel sized toiletries, etc)I ordered from ShopBop and did receive an authentic Kanken.I got an Ochre kanken, which is a bit brighter than the stock photo but is a nice jeweled tone golden color. Kankens are notorious for getting dirty really easily- be aware of that when ordering a light color.The side pockets are not intended for water bottles, and while you can find certain water bottles that will fit in the Classic Kanken and larger sizes, don't expect to be able to in the Mini. However, they are the perfect size for sunglasses, a phone, bus schedule, etc.The Kanken also comes with a small foam pad you can take out and use as a seat pad, and it also adds a bit of padding to the back of the bag, great for a small tablet or just keeping the shape of the bag (which will loosen up over time)Also be aware that if you have a large frame or are a more full figured person, the Mini might not be the right bag for you. I'm 5'2 and of average weight and the straps extended as far as they can go are comfortable on me, but I can see how someone larger might have difficulty.Overall though, this is a great casual bag (and adorable).

Had second thoughts at first
When I first took it out of the box, I thought it was far too small and actually had second thoughts about it. But after taking a closer look at it, and putting things I would pack into it, I fell in love with it. It's small, but it can hold a bit more than I thought it would. It's the perfect size for going to amusement parks, trips to the city, museums, or for whenever you want to have something small but be hands free. Which is the reason I bought it for. It's great for packing only the essentials, which is something one should keep in mind when thinking about purchasing. So far in the main compartment, I've packed my wallet, zipper pouch that contains feminine products, my epipen, a comb, a compact mirror, an extra hair tie, my instax mini 8, an extra pack of film, hand lotion and lip balm. In the small zipper compartment upfront, I put ear buds along with my iPod shuffle. The side pockets are a bit small, but you could easily fit your phone, maps, brochures etc. It also comes with a foam insert in the main compartment pocket which is meant to be used as a seat while hiking. IMO, its far too small, so I'll just keep it inside to keep the bag's structure. Overall, the fog color is a nice neutral gray color, and it looks adorable. But again like I said, its just enough space to fit essentials. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small pack. After purchasing this, I'm definitely going to get the Classic size in another color.

Authentic, Sturdy, high quality Quality, Beautiful bag
I purchased my Kanken mini from the Zappos Seller. I Knew that i was paying more than the lowest seller, but buying an authentic bag was more important than saving a couple bucks. I knew from reading reviews to Select the seller carefully because amazon lumps all sellers together for one Item.This bag is 100% authentic. I did have to Youtube instructions on adjusting the straps as they were very difficult to move through that plastic D Ring.The bag is very high quality, and fits alot For being a Mini size. Its very comfortable to wear. I live in hawaii and the rain is quick and random, so having a water resistant bag is a must here! This bag will take me from a Hike, to the beach and Out & about!The two Side pockets are very small. I currently cannot find anything more than a cellphone that will fit there and it doesnt even fit my cellphone with a case on it.. I have various sizes Swell and Hydroflask water bottles and None of them fit. Those water bottles can fit inside though.inside the front Zipper pocket i can fit my iphoneX inside, But that is NO case! The phone does not fit with a case on it.The main pocket can fit a fullsize ipad inside.I wish there was some Pockets on the inside of the bag to better organize items like Keys, but i guess i can easily put those in the Small front zipper pocket. I will definitly be looking for a "organizer" to put inside this bag!

Innamorata!
Io e mio marito avevamo già due kanken da 16 l, ma ho voluto anche quello piccolino per l'estate o per quando non voglio portarmi dietro troppa roba. Costa, è vero, ma la qualità è ottima, è leggero e non pesa troppo sulle spalle. Lo adoro!

Un sac à dos magnifique !!!
Le sac Fjallraven mini en Ox Red.D'abord j'ai commandé en rose(la couleur est très jolie mais pas à mon goût) mais ensuite je l'ai pris en Ox Red. Le sac est magnifique, authentique aussi. C'est mon deuxième mini, très pratique et confortable. Personnellement j'ai rajouté un organaseur de sac est c'est parfait pour remplacer mon sac à main!!! Le compartiment est assez grand.
