    Mine has arrived. Again I don't have a definitely genuine bag to compare to, I've looked at everything online and can't find anything untoward...

    Anybody received there order and if so any picture to show bag ?

Happy for everyone who was able to get a cheap authentic one though, maybe I'll have my day yet![Image]


    You can try talking to the customer service, see if they can send a new one at the same price, they did it for me once when the package was damaged in transit and I had got a similar message, however the price had only increased by £10 since so here it may be too much.

    My pink Kankan just arrived. I don't have another Kankan to compare to so I compared against Fjallraven's images and 'how to spot a fake' articles/youtube. Everything looks and feels like where it should be.

    IMHO, I think it's legit (or it's possibly AAA counterfeit) so I'm keeping at the original £29 discount price.

    If it's authentic, then that is a superb price. The quality of these bags is great, and it'll last years. But, fake stuff does get sold sold on Amazon. Heat from me, but sometimes, if something looks too good to be true...

    Thank you, I got in contact with Amazon and they agreed to replace it despite the price hike after confirming that the package was damaged. Mine seemed to be the odd one out coming from France anyway, let's see how this one fares!

    Is this a real or a fake on there?


    Sold by Amazon itself so it should be real. They were selling it at twice that price until yesterday. (edited)

    I'm not going off of the images because the description and images are the same on Amazon for about 14 different sellers of the bag, some of which are verified to be selling the genuine bag like outdoorgear.co.uk/, if you check the URL on fjallraven's reseller tool.. It's just going to be luck as to whether this one is genuine, but it's a good sign that it hasn't been a consistently low price as that always raises concerns

    Glad you got this sorted as reading your previous post I was gutted for you, I ordered mine as a little surprise for the misses and we will put it to good use, I can only imagine how many people grabbed more than 1 to sell them off for double the price

    Wow, the plot thickens! Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely pipe in with my mystery French bag when it arrives. Shame I have to wait until Saturday though.

    Free returns so might as well buy and if the quality doesn't match or it looks fake, just return it.
  18. CloneRico's avatar
    Thanks OP, selected try before I buy to make it easier to return if it's not legit, can't imagine it's not as it's direct with Amazon but we shall see

    hi, I bought this yesterday and it should arrive by Friday (it's been dispatched this morning). I'll definitely update once I've got it, I've never had a kanken before but I'll follow some of the legitimacy testing videos and upload photos
    I ordered it on the off-chance it's genuine because if it is, that's a really good price, and if not I'll just return
  21. CloneRico's avatar
    Mine should arrive by Thursday so will update with pictures when it arrives, never owned one before but always wanted one so will be looking at fakes online to compare too here's hoping

I checked my tracking information and it's being sent from Montelimar, FR, I hope this doesn't influence the returns process. It'll be arriving for me on Saturday instead of Friday since I live in NI, but if none of the Friday people have updated this post by then, I'll update with my own experience.

    to be honest, i would've expected £60 but it's £46.99, still a pretty good deal for people who missed out on this one, maybe they're not getting away with higher prices on depop cause the app's reputation is declining... i know people who search charity shops trying to make a profit out of them and I'm not sure whetgher I agree with it (edited)

    This is interesting because this one is clearly a fake. Apologies for butchering Swedish, but the dots above the a are too small, and the circle on the a of 'Kanken' should be attached to the a, not above it. This is why it's taken me so long to get one, fakes are everywhere!

Personally not a fan , I've been around people before who are constantly all about making any little bit of money they can and it's exhausting Each to their own though.


    You describe what scalping is, then proceed to include a non high demand readily available bag which no one would be selling for above market rate it they purchased this to sell on. Buying things to sell on isn't automatically scalping, by definition.
