The ultimate everything bag
Mine is 6 years old now and probably needs to be replaced but for Co text I use it EVERY day. It’s been a work bag, a day trip bag, laptop bag, nappy change bag, everything bag. The best purchase ever

A bit upset… shoulder strap detaching from bottom
I have been gifted this backpack a few years ago, and used it VERY lightly. As I picked it un a feb days ago, I have seen that one of the shoulder straps is detaching from the base of the backpack. And I do not mean the actual strap, I mean the angle-y part Made of the same material of the rest of the body… a bit upset

Versatile colourful backoack
Bought the sky blue backpack for my daughter's Birthday and she loved it and it's a good size so will get a lot of use. Packed well on arrival and amazing selection of colours. Thank you.

fits a lot, stains easily
great little bag, stylish, fits a lot more than expected. i fell into a creek on a hike and nothing in my bag got wet and i had my powerbank in there so thats a plus !! however it stains sooooo easily, i have the peach colour and its basically grey now, partly from my coat and partly from the london underground. tried to clean it but its hardly budging. i recommend getting a darker colour.

Poor quality
I bought a Kankan backpack for my daughter ten years that has lasted all this time. I bought myself one about two years ago and they are not the same quality. The zipper broke on my backpack within just a year! I took it in to get fixed, but it broke again after just a few months. I took it in a second time to be fixed and it broke AGAIN. What a huge disappointment. The quality has gone way down. I would not buy another bag from this company. I’ve recommended this company to many people and now I regret it.

Durabley made and aesthetically pleasing
I purchased the "Design your own" Kanken. I am thoroughly satisfied! The colors are rich and I'm pleased with the accuracy of the pigments compared to the image online. The material is thick and not cheaply made at all. This backpack packs a good amount for my day hikes and weekend urban exploration and museum hopping. Love my Kanken :D

Did not meet expectations, color faded
I bought mine in the ochre colour 8 years ago and have used it consistently for about 4 of them. After washing it with lukewarm water, a sponge and fabriic detergent the colour has faded significantly and is almost white or beige on some spots. Having followed the instructions, I am incredibly disappointed that colour has faded so much with a simple wash by hand, especially when I have followed instructions. Considering the price and reputation of quality I expected much better. I am looking into dying it now because it looks way too distressed. The seams have also come apart in some places, but I guess I can easily fix that myself. I don't think I would every buy another one considering the price and colour fading. Other than that no complaints, but I think the quality is overhyped.

Ruined my favorite shirt
I wish I could love this bag as much as a lot of folks do but I do not. I was so happy upon receiving my dark navy blue backpack with rainbow stripe straps, but after wearing a white shirt the blue coloring rubbed all over my back and ruined my white shirt

My favorite backpack ever!
I own 3 of them. 2 mini & two classics in different colors and I love it so much!! I use for work and my lunchbox slips right into it perfectly. There's enough pockets for me and I use the large padded pocket to hold my kindle.
