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.

Excellent Daily Backpack
I have had this bag since 2017 and I beat the crap out of it and it has held up beyond my expectations. . The only thing I wish is that I could wash it better, because I am so hard on my stuff. I would put one more strip of padding on the bottom of the area for the laptop and two way zippers for the front little pocket, One other suggestion is for the side pockets where you can put your drinks it would be cool if one of those was a little longer, and you could zip it up.. ..This bag is very well made, nothing has come apart, nothing has had to be replaced and all the zippers are intact at almost 8 years since purchase with daily use!

Great Durability
I was bought this for my 11th birthday and now 7 years on it still remains my favourite backpack. It has never broken and has minimal obvious signs of wear. This is a really good quality backpack

LOVE the strength of this backpack.
I bought the one in Singapore, and the quality and strength of this backpack is AMAZING. I think the seat pad it comes with is very useful and helpful too. Overall, amazing design. It's fashionable, strong, and you can match it with almost anything. Please continue to make bore bags like this. Love y'all!

This really is the best backpack
About to buy my second one of these, I bought mine back in 2016 and it has come with me on every single trip abroad, been used as a daily bag through university, and now comes to work with me regularly. It's like a tardis fitting absolutely loads in, and the fact it opens all the way around means I can easily access everything inside! It's also much more aesthetically pleasing having thin straps, and by some magic seems to be better for my back than any other bag I've used! It's a bit worn and torn now but has lasted me YEARS and I really have used it for everything! I wish they were a bit more affordable but can't really complain when the quality is so good
