Absolutely love my sling!

So I got this bag as a prelude for either getting the classic or the mini. I wanted to see what the big deal is about these bags. I was surprised at how much this puppy can hold! It’s an absolutely adorable bag. Bigger than the Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini or the Mansur Gavriel Mini Lady Bag - it’s perfect! I wanted something that would be strong and casual - something dependable that I could take to an amusement park or hiking - or just casually shopping. I’m able to put a few SLGs (about 4), my AirPod Pros, antibacterial lotion, a Yoshi amiibo (why not? :), & some scrunchies. The front can easily hold a compact (holds my MAC one pretty well) & 2 lip glosses. There is also a separate pocket aside from the main storage - that can hold keys, phone, ect. Just a note that the material is definitely waterproof & it’s stiff, but after much research (YouTube definitely helps) it softens & gets that adorable weathered look. Initially it’s super stiff, but be patient. I’m definitely excited to finally get my kånken bag & I’m going to buy more - maybe one more sling (like the ochre color above) & a backpack.

Twisted Strap

I am disappointed with my order. The shoulder is twisted, it’s the way it was sewn. It is frustrating to go to the Nordstrom store to have it replaced. The reason why I ordered online is because it’s convenient but then I will be wasting my precious time to go to the store. I should have not thrown away the return label.

Love & Hate Relationship

It's cute...I gave it that. But seriously, I keep finding myself fighting with the zippers and the sleeve. The main problem is the front zipper. It hides away under the sleeves and it's front facing instead of top facing. This works as a backpack but not as a shoulder bag. You'll find yourself going around to the front, digging in to find the zipper, takes some time to unzip it and the front flap flop down and stuffs fall over. All they did with this bag is shrinking the backpack without thinking that their backpack design is not suitable as a shoulder bag. The material is quite rigid which in a small product like this, made it difficult to handle. If they fix the front zipper and put it on top, this bag will be worth it. BUT...I would not recommend this if you value practicality more than "aww, it's cute." For $65, I expect them to pay more attention on the design. Really disappointed. I'll be returning this.

Kanken Sling Crossbody Bag

The perfect bag when you don't want to carry a backpack! My 13-year-old daughter loves it! Highly recommend it!

versatile and classic

Sporty daily look bag; 2 zipper compartments for perfect storage. So far I’m keeping my stuff organized in small size cute bags in it. It’s a wip bag for me and I would definitely tell you it’s worth it. Not too big not too small.

Perfect Little Crossbody

I ordered this for my pre-teen for Christmas, and this is such a perfect crossbody! She’s really into the VISCO girl fad, and these bags are aligned with all of that stuff. The bag feels very durable and almost like a gortex material. I posted a photo of the compact zippy wallet I purchased to go with it so that others can see the size comparison. This little guy packs a punch; there’s plenty of room for all the essentials! I’m pretty sure her Nintendo Switch Lite will fit as well. I am thinking about getting her the backpack for school if it’s the same durable material. I definitely recommend this crossbody bag for kiddos and anyone who appreciates a more casual/sporty style!

Very Useful

I was hesitant to get this bag because of the price but I’m glad I purchased it. It’s small but it has two compartments. It’s very durable and it stands up on it’s own. This bag will last years!
