what is /fa/'s thoughts on kankens? ive been rocking the

canvas can be done well on bags but in this case it hasn't.
design looks like something just above kmart. too busy and lazy at the same. pretty much only the professional photography makes it look good
bad in real life.

i have a graphite one and am really impressed by how much it can hold. it can hold my school work + work clothes (and shoes) + lunch.

i like how it looks, but the patch is a bit obnoxious

>>11108161
that's because it isn't canvas you fucking retard

>>11108175
It literally is.

>>11108175
its canvas, im touching it rn

Tumblr-core

>>11108169
agreed! i have the smaller version i think, and it can hold 2 binders and a textbook with laptop, and looks super small

>>11108188
>>11108192
read the website and about the fabric's intended purpose. it's barely canvas

i like how the bag opens up all the way like a suitcase
pretty waterproof and can hold lots of stuff without looking like you're carrying around everything you own

literal meme bag
looks childish and impractical
great for matching with your stan smiths to send the clear message "fashion blogs choose my clothes for me"
the handles are a nice trademark, but in practice, get in the way more often than not.
the design tries to go for some abstract pureism, but in a way that only adds clutter to the overall look.
they're riding on their branding of being some exotic european company. This is in backlash to the CdG and Superdry trend this aesthetic has been following.

I have no idea how three dimensional space and volume work: the post

it looks terrible

>>11108207
i'm a pretentious faggot: the post

>not steeped in pretension
you might as well leave now, buddy

>Wikipedia states canvas is a durable plain-woven fabric typically made from cotton, linen, or hemp

>Fjallraven states Vinylon F is a durable synthetic fabric that has qualities like natural material but doesn't require a water resistant coating

How is it not canvas?

>>11108218
i've actually had a nice time here throughout the week and you are the most pretentious faggot i've come across all week

>three dimensional space and volume

hahaha holy shit this cannot be real

>>11108221

i guess everything i own is canvas then.

>he has a good point, but I don't know how to refute it
>deploy ad homs

>>11108218
not to mention the traditional motif of faggotry.

>>11108225
Yes, if you completely disregard different types of weaves and calls for durability and weight.

I just copped this but I can't decide on it. I legitimately thought it was grey in the store but it's dark olive. Looks even more green here.

I bought a navy Kanken and the photo insert like pic related and I love it. I have been caught out in the rain a few times with it and it has kept my camera gear dry.

get this trash out of here

its too small holy shit

They went out of style 4 years ago. Now people just look retarded wearing it

Female university students here in Japan seems to love them.
I don't get why, it's too small for all the books they're carrying around.

they are very feminine.

Looks like something a japanese schoolgirl would wear

>>11108149
Aren't those the backpacks Japanese kindergarten students use?

>>11108207
>exotic european company
lol, this has been the go-to backpack for geology teachers and other babyboomers for centuries here

>>11108842
Because >aesthetics

saw an asian girl wearing one in the jewish/rich part of my city. it looked good on her, but any male will look very feminine and not in a good way.

>>11109474
Pretty much this. I'm just waiting for the hipster stigma to disappear so I can get one again, had one as a kid.

>>11109474
This desu, Fjallräven isn't some new exotic brand. Shit has been around for ages.

>>11108221
Canvas is always natural, unless it's qualified as a "nylon canvas" or whatever, but if you just say canvas, that's a natural fabric.

Cuck-core bag

Can't go 5 minutes without seeing one at my uni

känns lite konstigt att se Kånken vara så sjukt poppis utomlands numera

den har ju varit en sådan där gammal ryggsäck som någon förälder hade köpt på 70/80-talet, som låg och skräpade i något förråd - och som bara plockades fram för svampturer när man var liten

I see highschool girls wearing them quite often since last year and a few guys mid 20

>>11108827
What are the coolest new upcoming trends oh wise one?

>>11108207
How do you know the handles get in the way fuccboi

>>11109610
Varannan tjej har väl gått runt med en kånken de senaste 10 åren?

It's designed for school kids. If you're not one (in which case enjoy your b&, also wtf are you even doing here) it probably won't look good on you.
Fjällräven has plenty of good alternatives for adults to choose from.

I was just in Sweden for spring break. Saw lots of people wearing them. Looked acceptable on women and children, retarded on men. Get a Sandqvuist if you want "muh Scandy brand."

I've had some german noname ripoff for quite a while and it's really good as a laptop/general school-travel bag bag

>>11108149
i really like fjallraven but those backpacks can look a bit too wes anderson-y for my taste. seems like an open invitation for pickpokets.

prefer their jackets, paired with low-key backpacks
