With the Swedish mantra in mind, “Straight backs are happy backs,” Fjällräven created the first Kånken in 1978 to spare the backs of school children, as back problems had begun to appear in increasingly younger age groups. Simple, stylish and functional, the Kånken Mini is suitable for smaller children and even adults who want to have a small backpack. Perfect for a change of clothes at kindergarten, a packed lunch for an outing or as a convenient everyday bag for a wallet, water bottle and piece of fruit or the like. Made out of durable, lightweight, water and dirt resistant Vinylon F, the Kånken Mini has a main compartment with a large opening, two side pockets, a zippered pocket in the front, handle at the top, narrow, supple shoulder straps and logo that doubles as a reflector.
