Fjallraven Kanken
History of Fjallraven Kanken
Kånken was the brain child of Fjällräven founder Åke Nordin. In typical Swedish style he wanted to create a backpack that was functional, hardwearing and practical for kids to carry their books to and from school.
The result was KÃ¥nken.
Nearly 40 years later and KÃ¥nken is still going strong. It now comes in lots of different colours and in several different sizes. But the same devotion to function and the practical – and now much loved – shape remain.
