What is the Kanken Art Mini?
It's a miniature version of the full-sized Kanken Art backpack, making it a perfect gift for kids or even for yourself to use on shorter trips instead of an everyday handbag or belt pack. This special edition product is decorated with unique artwork from Swedish artist Mander (Martin Ander) and is part of Fjallraven's Arctic Fox Initiative, meaning that part of the sales goes towards environmental and climate projects.
What is it made of?
This sweet little backpack is made using Fjallraven's own G1000® HeavyDuty Eco S material. G1000® HeavyDuty Eco S is like your standard G1000® on steroids, so to speak. The fabric comprises recycled polyester and organic cotton, giving you a more eco-friendly blend, and has a much smoother finish than standard Fjallraven materials, giving this pouch a more sophisticated, stylish finish.
It's designed to be extra tough, meaning this bag will survive heavy daily use without looking knackered after just a few months. It'll last you years to come and is also water resistant (although not completely waterproof), so you won't have to worry about things getting soaked inside when the weather's a bit naff.
If you want to make the material even more weather resistant, you can do so with Fjallraven's Greenland Wax (purchased separately). Applying it to the material is simple and can be done almost anywhere! If you'd like to learn how, check out Ben's helpful guide by clicking here.
What are its features?
Webbing shoulder straps are lightweight and durable enough to withstand everyday wear. A handle at the top of the backpack offers a handy grab-and-go option if you're in a rush.
Alongside the main compartment, there are two open side pockets and one zippered pocket on the front, ideal for organising smaller essentials and keeping them within reach without getting them buried at the bottom of your bag.
