European brands that disappointed you?

Fjällräven. My old Kånken survived university and years of travel. The replacement I bought last year is already falling apart.

What are your country’s “buy for life” products?

My dad's friend bought one of the first editions of a Fjällräven Kånken when they where first released in the 70s. It's still as good as new!

Is owning a Deuter bag in Germany a mandatory requirement for citizenship?

Could also be a Fjällräven Kanken, see them around a lot as well. Pretty expensive for a piece of woven plastic.

How do y'all carry this stuff around?

I have one of those tiny backpacks (fjällräven Kånken mini). It has served me well over the years and it allows me to carry my sketchbook, art supplies and/or (smaller) crochet projects.

Is this model in this color still around?

I’ve been a fan of Fjällräven stuff for many years and I don’t remember ever seeing a discontinued color of Kånken come back. The only exception is on Fjällräven’s Preloved marketplace; I read somewhere that a lot of the bags sold directly by Fjällräven are good as new and I’ve seen some old colors

School backpacks recommendations

The Swedish “Fjällräven Kånkenhas been my favourite backpack for 30+ years. It comes in a “Mini” version suitable for kids. It's roughly the size of an A4 paper and holds 7 litres: https://www.fjallraven.com/eu/en-gb/bags-gear/kanken/kanken-bags/kanken-mini/ Edit: Replaced US link with EU link

Koulureppu hakusessa

Itse ostin just Fjällräven Räven 20 -repun läppärin ja muun roinan raahaamiseen. Lämmin suositus. Varuste.netistä näitä näyttäisi nyt olevan satasella ja näitä saattaa löytyä myös käytettyinä. Älä missään nimessä sitten vaan mene ostamaan sellaista trendikästä Kånken-reppua, ne vaan paskoo sun olkap

Milyen örök életű tárgyaitok vannak?

Fjällräven kanken hátizsák, és a Helly Hansen télikabátom - mindkettőt kb 10 éve vettem és tökéletes állapotban vannak.

How long do oleada bags last? Is it worth it?

I wouldn’t take a nice Oleada bag to those things you do — it’s going to get easily damaged, unless if you’re a fan of that dirty and dinged-up pistachio green look. When I do trips like how you describe it, I use my years-old and always-reliable Fjällräven Kånken. That waxed canvas is almost imposs

Inadvertently found my perfect on the go bag!

A similar bog that also works: Fjällräven. The small crossbody kanken , which I also have in a mustard yellow, is very similar! The front pocket is smaller but the pens could fit inside or in the back.
