Limited Edition Fjallraven Anniversary Kanken Bags
14
APR

The limited edition anniversary Fjallraven Kanken Bags are now available to pre-order at ilovemykanken.com

The specially produced Kanken rucksacks come with individual serial numbers, leather detailing and a personal signed message from founder of Fjallraven Ake Nordin, inside the bag.


We are taking orders now for our very limited numbers of the special limited edition Anniversary Kanken bags and they are selling fast. The anniversary kankens will be here in August 2010 and shipped immediately to their new owners.
Fjällräven turned 50 in 2010 and are launching a limited edition of their bestseller Kånken. The Anniversary Edition of this legendary daypack, made of Vinylon F, is equipped with a leather label and an individual serial number on the inside. Every model carries a personal message on the inside label by the company founder Åke Nordin. This Kanken is a must-have item for real trendsetters and devoted fox fans of the Swedish brand. Every pack is unique!

For 50 years now, Swedish outdoor specialist Fjällräven has been producing functional products that are designed to last. On this anniversary a limited edition of the legendary Kånken and Kånken Mini and we are taking delivery of these special bags in August 2010.

The bags will be produced only in anniversary year 2010 in a limited number and are therefore expected to become highly popular and are already selling. The handy daypack symbolises the 50 years of outdoor experience and spirit of the Swedish brand: high functionality, with a distinctive design and fabrics that will stand the test of time. The Kånken was originally developed in 1978 to protect school children’s backs. Since then, the unique look has achieved cult status with more than three million packs sold worldwide. Designed for daily use, the daypack can be seen in 39 colours from New York to Tokyo, Berlin,Sydney, London,Paris and cities and villages around the world.

High quality manufacturing and the legendary Vinylon F fabric are the keys to Kånken’s success. The light but extremely durable material swells like a natural fibre, thus making the weave more dense when it’s raining. This gives the fabric waterproof qualities by construction and makes the Kånken ready to be used for the next 50 years!


The Kanken Purple Laptop Backpacks Have Arrived

Straight from Sweden these backpacks are great for travel, commuting, biking, walking and school.

The Fjallraven purple Kanken laptop backpacks have arrived at ilovemykanken.com for 15" and 17" laptops. This is a Kanken backpack with a separate laptop protective padded section at the back! The laptop Kanken has padded shoulder straps. These Kankens also feature an included seat pad, safety reflector in the logo patch and front and side pockets. This Kånken is in hardwearing, water repellent fabric. Large main compartment, two side pockets and a zippered pocket in the front. The entire bag is made of durable Vinylon F.

Vinylon F fabric has been used in Kanken day packs for the past 25 years. While being a synthetic fibre, Vinylon F still maintains the properties of natural fibres. Most conventional backpacks need a coating to become water resistant. This provides a short term waterproofing but loses its properties over time. Vinylon F needs no extra coating and absorbs moisture better than any other synthetic fibre. It swells like a natural fibre making the weave more dense when wet. This gives waterproof qualities eliminating the need for coating.

"I love the Kanken and have been using mine for twenty years. I am now an authorised stockist for Fjallraven at
www.thesportinglodge.co.uk but I wanted to offer my customers something different" says Lindsay MacFarlaine, director of The Sporting Lodge, a country sports retailer in Cumbria, England.

"My Kanken customers are very particular about their colours and with so much to choose from, I wanted to make it easy for them to choose their favourite colour and see immediately what kind of Kankens are available to them. Some of my customers have a Kanken for an outfit, some for a school or college bag and the laptop Kankens are proving very popular. The shop by colour function is the first site where the bags are easy to select."

www.ilovemykanken.com has been developed with Kanken fans and although most of the colours are in stock, when they run out, there is an on-line request facility so customers can be notified when the come into stock again.

"I have a great relationship with Fjallraven who are brilliant to work with" says Lindsay. "Fjallraven are so efficient, it is a pleasure to work with them and their products are second to none. The Vinylon F material which Kankens are made from is tough, long lasting and very light. I wanted to present the Kanken in a fun and interesting way and it appears to be working well. We have customers from Paris, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, the Far East and of course Europe and the UK. We even sell to Sweden!"

Keeping the shopping experience as simple as possible, there is free postage to the UK and free postage worldwide on minimum spend.
