Review: 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.
Review: Big things come in small packages! High quality, durable, spacious! - My favorite purse! Yes, I use it as a purse. And it holds EVERYTHING and then some, even for its “mini” size. Thick durable fabric, which is also water resistant keeps everything dry inside. Taken this backpack everywhere, and it easily washes up. I also purchased the padded straps. The side pockets are not big enough for water bottles, but perfect for sunglasses, hand sanitizer, and doggy poop bags! Big things really do come in small packages!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super awesome tiny little bag
*by M***Z on August 15, 2016*

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).
