Finally got around to purchasing a fjallraven kanken bag and i've been using it for a few days now. there's a lot of wonderful features in the kanken bag, but at the same time, there are some downsides...
firstly, i will talk about counterfeit kanken bags! ALWAYS buy from amazon fulfilled sellers (unless you don't care for fakes)!! most amazon fulfilled sellers are selling authentic items! however, if youre not sure if your bag is authentic, here are some distinctive features!

1. the logo should be matte and smooth. not reflective or glossy at all!
2. the buttons should have a detail fox logo just like the photo attached and under the button should have the text "WASA-6"
3. the side of the zipper should have the text "YKK"
4. everything in the logo and all the tags should be spelt correctly! including "fjällräven kånken"
5. make sure the number on the brown tag is the same number on the tag that is inside the bag!!
6. kanken bags are made in vietnam or china

i originally bought this bag to use as a diaper bag! i wanted something small and hands free (but at the same time stylish). as you can see in the picture, i use a purse organizer to put in all my things. i have my diapers, wipes, diaper cream, small sunblock, baby bottle, crackers and wallet. all of these items fit nice and snug in my kanken bag! this bag can also fit my 10 inch tablet when i need it. i like to always have my keys on hand so i just clipped it onto the straps of the bag for easy access but, i do keep them inside the front pocket when i'm in crowded areas. speaking of front pockets, this pocket is VERY small...i can't fit many things inside it...however, i do put in a sock and a small bag full of my daughter's hair ties and clips in the front pocket. there are two side pockets on the bag that is most likely used for water bottles. But from my experience, it doesn't really fit a water bottle unless you don't mind the bottle concaving inside the bag. otherwise, it's the perfect spot for my iphone 6 and sunglasses. i can easily slide it in and out when i need it (much better than trying to take it out of the front pocket).
another feature i love about the bag is the X-Mount straps!! theses are ergonomically designed to evenly distribute the weight on your shoulders evenly and it ACTUALLY works! one time, i had a lot of stuff inside my bag (including my heavy big tablet) and when i first held my bag; it was really heavy. i didn't think i could wear this on my back for too long, but i was wrong! i was able to wear my bag for 5+ hours and my bag felt light as a feather on my back!
this bag is very sturdy and doesn't get dirty easily. it's mostly a wipe clean surface.
however, this bag is pretty stiff at first so you have to give this bag a good wear and tear to get rid of the stiffness.

in general, this bag is great but if you're not willing to pay $60+ for these bags, then it's best to look elsewhere. it's a hefty price but i know that when my daughter grows older, she will be using this bag in the future (and maybe i'll upgrade to the kanken classic...i kind of want one right now actually HAHA)

Let me start by saying I was extremely hesitant to make this purchase because of the price point & because of the amount of people on here saying they received fakes. Well, I did it anyway. But I made sure to watch videos on how to spot the fakes. So it arrived & at first appeared to be fine. Very cute & bright. Then I began to examine it.
1. The stitching was not that of a highly reputable brand. Some of it was undone
already!! (Sides of zipper)
2. The front logo looked fine but again the stitching was just a mess like Walmart backpacks look better than this
3. There were black spots on it almost looked like ink ??
4. The inside stitching of the zipper looked absolutely hideous! Not the work of Fjällräven I’m assuming
5. The inside patch where it says to put your name doesn’t have the Swedish flag on the bottom. Not sure if they don’t do it on all their backpacks but I’ve seen it on the real ones
All in all those little things tell me this wasn’t the work of Fjällräven & I’m returning the bag & buying directly off their website I don’t even care about the shipping anymore. If you’re willing to spend $70+ on a bag then just pay the extra 10 or whatever tf for shipping & get a real one.
Edit: also the zipper did not have the "YKK" on the side which is what the authentic bags have, hope all of this helps!
Edit2: I completely forgot to name the seller I just checked it was NetRush! DO NOT BUY FROM NETRUSH!!!
Also I bought a real one from my local Nordstrom for the same price I didn’t know they sold them there until I called. & if they don’t have the color you want they can order it to the store without having to pay for shipping so that’s a plus!
The one I have now is the real deal:
1: this (black) one has the logo patch stitched on much cleaner
2: it has the YKK on the side of the zipper
3: it has the Swedish flag on the inside!
4: the inside stitching is the complete opposite of the fake one. So nice
The real one is so nice and it feels indestructible! Save your coins for the real deal!

I have the classic Kanken but I wanted something smaller to take the place of a purse. Because me and purses aren't friends. Plus I use this to carry a few art stuffs whenever I feel taking my sketchbook places. Even though its pretty small I can put a bunch of stuffs in it, it actually fits more things than I thought it would. On the inside I can fit my 5x8 sketchbook, a bunch of colored pencils, a magazine, pencil case, sharpener, wallet, and even my giant 32oz Nalgene water bottle! With a little more room to spare. In the inside back pocket I can fit my 10" tablet. The outside front pocket is kinda hard to get into so I put things I don't need much in there like a small hand lotion, chapstick, small perfume, some stray makeup lol. Then the side pockets are pretty small but my sunglasses fit perfectly on one side and my phone in the other. Compared to my classic I can't help but say awww to the mini because its so adorable and small! Overall I'm glad decided to get it, its too perfecttt!
Also to the people saying the fabric feels too stiff that is how a Kanken is supposed to be. Eventually the fabric will soften with use and age, and the zippers will get easier to open. You have to break it in like shoes! :D

After traveling through Scandinavia this past summer and seeing everyone with these things, I got the bug and wanted one for myself. It took me a long time of debating between the full size and the mini. I watched YouTube videos, compared sizes with other bags I had, thought long and hard - but after having mine for the past month, I couldn't be happier with the smaller version. It holds much more than you'd expect! No, it doesn't hold my MacBook Air 11" but I have other bags to lug that thing around anyway.

What it does hold is - my iPad mini (it also would fit a full-sized one), a thick book, various pouches of pens/candy/headphones/etc, a large wallet, a small umbrella and I can even squeeze in a half-liter Nalgene (though I find the soft, foldable water pouches work better). The side pockets are small but do hold a smartphone or a pair of sunglasses. The front pocket I find is perfect for keys and chapstick, but you'll have a hard time fitting much else in there.

I went with the recommendation of others that the waxed fabric picks up dirt easily and I went with the black/ox red color combination. After seeing a friend's yellow Kanken in person and how terribly it shows dirt, I'm glad I went with the darker color. What's funny is that the rough fabric will show lighter debris if I bump up against a white painted wall or something similar. It dusts out easily, though.

I have a 15'' laptop Kanken bag already I use for school, but wanted something smaller to use instead of a purse and the Kanken Mini is perfect.

Note- it is a very small bag. Hence the name Mini. But it's enough to carry around for an day outing.
I usually carry around my Kindle Fire, a small paperback, classic sized moleskine journal, wallet, earbuds, and general incontinence (lip balm, travel sized toiletries, etc)

I ordered from ShopBop and did receive an authentic Kanken.

I got an Ochre kanken, which is a bit brighter than the stock photo but is a nice jeweled tone golden color. Kankens are notorious for getting dirty really easily- be aware of that when ordering a light color.

The side pockets are not intended for water bottles, and while you can find certain water bottles that will fit in the Classic Kanken and larger sizes, don't expect to be able to in the Mini. However, they are the perfect size for sunglasses, a phone, bus schedule, etc.

The Kanken also comes with a small foam pad you can take out and use as a seat pad, and it also adds a bit of padding to the back of the bag, great for a small tablet or just keeping the shape of the bag (which will loosen up over time)

Also be aware that if you have a large frame or are a more full figured person, the Mini might not be the right bag for you. I'm 5'2 and of average weight and the straps extended as far as they can go are comfortable on me, but I can see how someone larger might have difficulty.

Overall though, this is a great casual bag (and adorable).

Love this bag! Great for a day out with my kids. The inside main pocket can hold two water bottles (20oz), snacks, diapers and more! I use the back pocket where the padding is for small things like hand wipes and first aid. The front pocket is VERY small. Only good for for things like keys or credit cards. The bag is very comfortable even when full. The top straps are helpful when grabbing on the go. The material is thick and stiff, almost feels waxy. Holds up well in light rain. If I bought it again, I would probably choose a brighter color. Overall, a great find!

This is my first Fjallraven Kanken ever and overall I'm pretty pleased with what I received. My review is mostly a first impressions-type. I can confirm that what I purchased from the seller, "BestMarketDealz" was in fact an authentic piece. Amazon doesn't encourage you to point out the seller through reviews like this, but since Amazon has already had several fakes slip through, I thought I'd mention it because there's nothing worse than paying for something at the authentic price and receiving a subpar fake. I could've ordered from eBay instead for a bit less (around the $55 range including shipping from reputable sellers) but I wanted this to have Guaranteed Prime shipping so I went with Amazon/BestMarketDealz for a cool $63.89; still a bit less than $70 retail and I didn't have to pay tax through this seller.

Marks of authenticity include YKK on the sides of the zippers, along with "WASA 6" under the snap button closures. The "ART" number on the sticker of the kraft paper tab matches the interior fabric tab number (23561 for the Sky Blue color) and the inside label also has the Swedish flag present and sewn in the correct place. I'm sure there are other ways to verify authenticity but these were the ones right off the bat that I noticed based on other reviews I've read on here.

The fabric feels sort of like a heavily starched fabric which leads me to believe why the waterproofing could be damaged/reduced effectively by throwing it in the washing machine which I've read you should NOT do if you want to preserve the Kanken's water resistance and also it's color, which would likely dramatically fade in the wash as I've seen one YouTuber do.

I deducted a star because for a highly priced backpack such as this, I would've expected much cleaner sewing, especially on the front circle patch where it's most noticeable. Mine is a bit off-center and has a fabric notch at one of the ends. Not a big deal after I saw some other reviewers with patches sewn in similar fashion, but a bit disappointing for the price. It's not like these are the Hermès of backpacks or anything, but I've seen some $10 Dickies with better sewing at Ross. The fact that these bags are also outsourced, Vietnam for the Mini Kankens and China for the other sizes, gives an heir of degradation in quality that does not quite live up to the asking price. Now I'm well aware factories, no matter the location or the people that run it, can produce well under the right leadership and quality checks, this was not just up to par when you consider cheaper backpacks that have better quality sewing elsewhere. Other than that, the Sky Blue color is beautiful.

At first I couldn't decide with which blue to go with: Air Blue, Blue Ridge or Sky Blue, because if you look up some of the colors and the corresponding product photos they vary a LOT to the point that it's difficult to pin down what exactly is the true color IRL. The same Sky Blue featured on Amazon could look completely different than the Sky Blue Kanken product photo offered on Urban Outfitters, ASOS, Nordstrom, or even the main Fjallraven Kanken website itself! Combine those discrepancies with Urban Outfitters even renaming "Sky Blue" to "Teal" just adds to the confusion.

The Sky Blue color is a bit of chameleon as I imagine some other Kanken colors are as well. It morphs like mad depending on lighting and atmospheric conditions. In my photos, the camera really only picks up the true blue tones but my eyes pick up the hints of green/teal more easily IRL. This subtlety is lost with my camera despite me taking photos of it in a neutral white room. The nylon strap parts are also a slightly different tone of blue than the overall bag, but that makes sense because the straps are a different material and would take dye differently than Vinylon F. It adds character and I think it's cool Fjallraven tries to match the zipper paint coating, thread and straps to the main bag color. I sort of wish the zipper material was of better quality, perhaps a metal zipper instead of plastic. Something about plastic makes me think it won't last nearly as long. I've seen some people be rough with the zippers on YouTube and have been fine, but others were not as lucky with zippers coming off the tracks/teeth.

The side pocket fits my OnePlus 3 (152.7mm/6.01in height x 74.7mm/2.94in wide x 7.35mm/0.289in diameter) which is great for being on the go and needing quick access but I would say it's not safe when traveling to do this obviously. I'll update the review once I've worn it out for a bit.

Without ordering the other blue colors I considered and just based on observation, I'm guessing Air Blue is more of a vibrant pool blue, Blue Ridge a sort of greyed mid-tone denim blue and Sky Blue being a greyed light blue with hints of teal and green added in while being dramatically less green next to Frost Green. If you're having a hard time deciding, I did consider buying from sellers that offered Free Returns to try them all and send back the ones I didn't want but after watching some YouTube videos and comparing Google Image searches of each color on different tabs in Chrome, I concluded Sky Blue would've been my favorite anyway.

Also a word of caution, if you aren't in a hurry and want to find better prices on eBay or elsewhere, be extremely careful of fakes. Only buy from sellers that have a few hundred or thousands of reviews/ratings. I've seen some sellers with 0 ratings sell Mini Kankens for $25 and some people actually bought them as eBay will show how many have been sold. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. But $40-50 seems pretty realistic. And if you buy in person, you know what marks to look for.

I purchased my Kanken mini from the Zappos Seller. I Knew that i was paying more than the lowest seller, but buying an authentic bag was more important than saving a couple bucks. I knew from reading reviews to Select the seller carefully because amazon lumps all sellers together for one Item.
This bag is 100% authentic. I did have to Youtube instructions on adjusting the straps as they were very difficult to move through that plastic D Ring.
The bag is very high quality, and fits alot For being a Mini size. Its very comfortable to wear. I live in hawaii and the rain is quick and random, so having a water resistant bag is a must here! This bag will take me from a Hike, to the beach and Out & about!
The two Side pockets are very small. I currently cannot find anything more than a cellphone that will fit there and it doesnt even fit my cellphone with a case on it.. I have various sizes Swell and Hydroflask water bottles and None of them fit. Those water bottles can fit inside though.
inside the front Zipper pocket i can fit my iphoneX inside, But that is NO case! The phone does not fit with a case on it.
The main pocket can fit a fullsize ipad inside.
I wish there was some Pockets on the inside of the bag to better organize items like Keys, but i guess i can easily put those in the Small front zipper pocket. I will definitly be looking for a "organizer" to put inside this bag!

If you’re headed on a run of the mill adventure where technical gear isn’t needed, this bag will get the job done while adding a bit of style to your carry. The style and function are on point for most occasions, and there are a few subtle security features that we liked. While the shoulder straps were surprisingly comfortable for short term use, we recommend looking into the shoulder pads if you’re thinking about using this pack for any long term, extended use.

Pros:
- Zippers are securely hidden for safety in crowded areas
- Perfect size for a day pack
- Nice aesthetic with a variety of color options

Cons:
- Not the most compressible daypack we’ve tested
- Ends and edges of straps are rough/itchy and can snag clothing
- The top handles can be a nuisance when disconnected

Full review on Pack Hacker.

After looking through tons of reviews for tons of companies and tons of matching bags, we found this! We read a few reviews saying that it was not real, so we were a little afraid...but we said if it wasn’t we would just return and try again! Mind u we looked at every one like this, and went thru all the photos etc, and this one was slightly more priced than the other ones but had the least amount of negative reviews. So we bought it and are beyond happy with the purchase!

I’m not sure why some people said they received knockoffs, the only thing I can guess is they bought like 2-3 of the same ones, probably the cheaper one, and either got them confused or Amazon did, or they returned the knockoff and got this one for cheaper. Or the mail carrier damaged or stained it on the way to their homes. It sounds mean to say, but seriously, I cannot think of any other reasons that there could be, this is 100% genuine and brand new!

I will add, my “adopted” 18 yo kid put it on and she is 5’1” and it looks adorable on her! (I just adopt all of my sons friends, and try to make sure to buy them the right things! Or buy it for them!)

Nice and sturdy backpack purse. My 12 yr old daughter loves it

I received my backpack in a fast manor, the company was quick and on it even though I have prime I’m not sure how it’d be on standard shipping though. Thus far it seems to be great quality and the only damage I noticed was the one of the inside zippers gets stuck sometimes but that’s not a big deal to me at all. Somethis that may bother some is the gold name plate is in another language, I don’t really care but I thought I’d include it in case it would bother someone. But it’s great otherwise!! I’m a backpack purse lover and usually buy them from the katebsoade brand but I needed a cheaper one for work and I can say the quality and sizes are comparable. I’ll update if anything changes.

I just received my bag today and so far I love it! It is smaller than I expected but surprising everything I carry in my computer bag sized purse fits in here! I'm a big girl so I was worried I would look goofy with a small bag but not the case. Very cute. Looks clean. Seems very sturdy. The texture inside is kind of.. crinkly? Papery? But not a big deal. Might even be a good thing. Comes with a little bear that I expected to be flat and sad looking but it is also super cute. :) 16.9 oz water bottle for size comparison. (It has side pockets that in fits in too). I will update if my opinion on anything changes. But as of right now I would definitely recommend!

It smelled a little weird but noting a little perfume won’t fix a lot of space there was some chipping on the metal thing some lose thareds but no biggie nice and sturdy no use for the side pockets the pocket in the. Back is good for important thing like money and a phone so someone can’t pick pocket it would recommend!

This is the cutest little backpack! My daughter is 11 and she loves it! It’s perfect for all of her personal items. It is very well made. It’s better than we expected!

This bag is so cute! . The color I got is red. It has enough space to carry all my stuff. I use this as a baby diaper bag. I hate original diaper bags . They're so big and bulky. I can fit diapers , baby bottles, baby food , baby clothes and my make up and it also fits a 16 oz water bottle.

What a great little backpack. It’s everything my little fashionista desired and more. Great space, nice quality and perfect for her!

I get a lot of compliments daily on my backpack! I love it. Great quality and also has sufficient space for my daily essentials.

fits everything i need it to fit including my 10.5 inch tablet, and verry stylish.

Very nice bag.not too small not too big.material is good.i like it.

Really, really cute! Good material for the price! I bought it as a gift and I think the receiver will love it!

I got this for my daughter. It’s smaller than she wanted but still a nice backpack, for the money, and she takes everywhere. There are some loose threads already but it is a cute bag. Perfect for the city. Pay attention to dimensions if you want something bigger. 7”H x 7.5L x 3.5D approx.

The picture makes the bag seem bigger than it is (for me at least) but it is perfect! I bought this as a gift for my little sister who has been looking for a “mini backpack” & I think she will love this! It looks just like the pictures.

The front pocket is very shallow, it opens but it’s too small for even money to fit inside. The bag also is very flimsy (doesn’t have a fixed shape) and the strap is designed to adjust to go over your body as well as on your back. Overall it’s a nice bag for the price but I’m a lil disappointed in the flimsyness.

Bought it and loved the style and size. The zipper broke within a few days of having it. So they sent me another one very quickly, which I appreciated. Now the straps on the new bag have broken and the stuff in the zipper on the front, fell out. I'm bummed because I really loved the bag and wish it held up longer than 2 months.

I love it was my small for my daughter but the strap broke in 1 day or snapped an it's not fixable please help!

It came flat but that's to be expected so I puffed it up, and now it looks cute (and like the picture)! I bought it for when I will be traveling or to carry my items and etc, so I can't wait to try it out. Let's hope it doesn't wear out or break quickly.

it's perfect, for me, I even thought it was going to be smaller, but actually more things fit than I thought, good quality

First of all it looks nothing like the original picture. Came in mashed in the package and smelled like cheap leather before I even opened it. It didn't specify that it only had one strap and looks cheaply made. It didn't help that it took almost 3 weeks to get to me.

Don't waste your money- My daughter bought this and probably used it 2 or 3 times very gently but the zipper just broke on 3rd use and now we are beyond window to return. very disappointed

I was hesitant about the color but when it arrived I just love it! I carry it anywhere and it fits all I need.

I recently bought this mini back pack to use as my purse . With 4 kiddos , having a shoulder bag was driving me bonkers. It surprisingly fits everything I need and it’s not heavy or anything . It’s comfortable to wear, and it’s super cute . I have gotten many compliments on it already. My 5 year old daughter now wants one too :)

I love this bag so much I can hold most average sized things and it’s so cute. Came really in handy on my trip also

I love this bag! It's casual and simple. It goes with everything I wear, plus it's a lot more lightweight in comparison to the previous leather backpack purse I was carrying around. Mine did not have a velcro closure in the tiny front pocket, nor did the front zipper pocket come with a key clip. However, I don't really mind as I don't utilize those parts of the bag much. The main compartment is very spacious and easy for me to organize by keeping my items in pouches. I like that I can fit all my necessities in here (wallet, keys, phone, portable charger + wall charger, and a water bottle), and there's still extra room to spare.

Amazing!

Same Jansport quality. Just pint sized!

This bag is great for us gals (or dudes) who don't want to carry our bags on one shoulder. I bought this to use for a trip to Universal Studios Orlando. It's perfect for any activity where you want to carry your items and keep your hands free!

I can fit my wallet, water bottle, small makeup bag, keys, with plenty of extra room left over. I provided a book of stamps and a few quarters for easy size reference.

I dislike that if you look at the pictures of the backpack, you can clearly see the young lady wearing it on her back... Like WTF, this is clearly false advertising.... Like for real the photo shows the young woman wearing the backpack on her BACK!!! I just wanted to get my girlfriend the backpack purse that she wanted, but clearly, it I not got....

This Jansport Half Pint Backpack, although a little on the expensive side is definitely worth it. I have been looking for a small backpack to use for on the go things instead of a purse and this was perfect. I've had this product for almost a year and would definitely recommend. It's cute (I always get complements on it) and durable. It also surprisingly fits a lot! Overall, this is a very good product; the only downside would be the expensive price.

My daughter has been wanting this for her birthday for months now.. I ordered it and it’s a little smaller than I was expecting for being a mini backpack, but it does the job and holds everything that she is wanting to use it for along with still having a little room for more so I’m happy with it and will have one very happy and excited 7 year old soon! The quality seems to be made of nice material and the galaxy print is so much better in person!

*Side Note: I placed a set of prismacolor colored pencils beside to show the comparison in size along with what little bit I tried of my daughters stuff in it to show you the space. It holds her wallet, Fuji camera(with and without the case) Fuji film, her smaller sketchbook, tin of colored pencils, markers in a pencil case.. that’s just what I’ve tried so far!*

At first I was worried it would be too small to fit my big water bottle I just got but no it fit perfectly and I was able to fit 2 iron on patches to make it unique. Great for Disneyland or if u just need a small bag.

I love this! It’s the perfect size for my upcoming trip to New York City and Disney world. It fits a pair of 8.5 tennis shoes perfectly with room for a wallet and phone easily. I like that I can connect my wallet in the outside pocket to reduce the chance of theft. However, I really wish that there were pockets on the inside. That would have been nice. Still a great buy!

Loved it! Perfect size. The main compartment is bigger than a 16.9 fluid oz water bottle if that gives you an idea on size haha. It can fit a lot of things I normally wouldn’t bring with me because I wouldn’t want to carry it. The smaller keychain is the perfect thing to put keys in.

Pros:
-Nice Size
-Extra keychain
-Lots of extra compartments
-Very pretty and stylish

CONS

-not real leather
-Can’t fit something large like a notebook
-definitely not for school

Exactly what I ordered. And a thank you note was added. I didn't take bag or of cover because it's a gift

I bought it for my daughtet and shr loved it so much she wares to camping to shcool to shopping and to tge beach its water proof it clean easly and i teust u its so cute i recomend to buy this its 100% cute

Love it ????

The backpack was shipped with the broken zipper, looking just like the photo. You would of thought they would of noticed it before being shipped out. Cheaply made!

The front zip pocket is not centered. It is very disappointing. I don't think it's a good original design. More like a defect.
Also zippers have not a best quality.

Love it

Cute backpack love it !! Exactly like pictures

It's cute and small like I wanted. The front pouch was pushed in when I recieved it so I have to fix it every now and then but I love it. It's cute and has a matching change purse.

Very disappointed, name plate upside down. I would like to say 0 stars but it will not allow it.

Seriously in LOVE with this cute little backpack purse!! I’ve gotten compliments on it! Zippers work well, the bow and everything is just as pictured, it has a front pocket, a slim pocket on each side, and the straps are adjustable. the inside of the purse will hold my full-size wallet, iPhone, charger, eyeglass case, sunglasses, mio, bottle of water, Chapstick and lipstick‘s!! I need another one in another color!!!

Cute backpack, good quality for a good price! The only thing is it's a little bit smaller then expected but still a good bag!

Love my daughters matching bags

I've bought two of these; both of which have broken in the same place (the shoulder strap just breaks off!)

I am very disappointed, as this bag is adorable and a perfect size. I am so heartbroken that it broke so easily after only 5 weeks of use.

[[VIDEOID:cf92468ad8e3dcaa57816579572e4a22]] The bag itself is really cute. I can tell it’s made decently. However the bag is not stuffed when it comes so there are a lot of creases in the material now. One of the straps is difficult to adjust but not impossible. I was hoping the front pouch would zip but the zip pouches inside and on the back make up for it. There is an extra no zip pouch on the inside as well. The side pouches wont be big enough for a bottle. This bag is definitely cute and I will be using it a lot just disappointed that it wasn’t stuffed and arrived with creases.

when i got it, it came in a manilla envelope. it was all crushed & since it was crushed, there are wrinkles at the top but the actual bag is good. i brought it to a harry styles concert and its still in good shape. on both of the side, there are water bottle holders. there are 2 pockets on the inside; one with a zipper and one without. and theres a zipper on the back that can actually hold a lot of stuff.

i received this item this morning. i was looking forward to using it for work on Monday, but that is not going to happen; this item arrived ripped. the hanger was flapping on it when i took it out of its sealed bag. if i use it, i cannot hang it. I'm very disappointed and this is why i hate shopping online, because of issues like this. i will return this item first thing in the morning on Monday.

Love this mini backpack! I bought it MONTHS ago and use it as my daily bag. It doubles as my purse and diaper bag for my toddler. it’s still in perfect condition even after daily use for months now. Would absolutely recommend for the price!

It was shipped in a bag not box, so there are creases in the backpack where there shouldn’t be. There is also a white line around two sides of the front pocket and is very visible since the bag is black.

Very cute backpack and nice material! Other bad reviews didn't scare me away from buying this and I'm glad. Perfect for carrying my stuff.

I love this thing. I'm not a purse kind of girl but carrying around a full sized backpack on the daily is so unnecessary so I wanted something smaller for the day to day stuff and I'm so glad I bought this! Its a great price for what your getting, the backpack itself is good quality as well. I've been using this daily for a few months now and have had no problems with it :) before ordering I was on the fence about the size but I'm glad I went for it anyways, its just big enough to hold all your goods. It keeps my wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, business cards, chap-stick and other items in there no problem! Its also not too big which was my initial concern since that's the reason I wanted to get a "Mini" backpack in the first place. I'm more then happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone else out there!

I attended my third Carolina Rebellion this past weekend, and was much better prepared this time thanks to this backpack. It held all of my essentials, and had room for a few more things. Comfortable to wear and carry around all day; it even withstood a front row spot (crowd surfers, edge of the pit) and didn't get in the way.

Best purchase ever. Durable, doesn't stain, lightweight, and great for travel, bike rides, or work. Five stars!

I love this backpack and it came exactly as expected. I have always preferred using small backpacks instead of purses, but the one I was previously using was getting uncomfortable. These straps aren't padded (which I prefer because I think it looks better this way) but I have not noticed it creating any discomfort. I was actually worried of this being a little too BIG but it's perfect sized for what I was looking for. It can carry all my necessities and then some, I can even stuff a small hoodie in here if I really wanted, but mostly just have my phone and wallet, but it's also big enough to carry some books or a journal.

It's very basic but that is exactly what I wanted.

This "mini' backpack is perfect. I have hip problems. I buy a bag that I think is small and pack it with everything in my house. With this mini, I can't:) I have attached 2 pictures. One is next to my small Vera Bradley.

I got this backpack exactly 2 months ago and it fell apart. The seam on one end broke open and now the zipper is all messed up and came off track I don't even think I can have it replaced now because it's been 2 months and I'm gonna have to purchase an entire new backpack. Very unhappy

I bought this bag because I wanted to DIY a mini backpack. The size is what I was expecting and it's pretty sturdy. However, don't buy this bag if you want to use iron on patches. The bag will melt before your patch has time to adhere. And any creases made while ironing will be stuck like that since it melted together (see last two pictures).

I love this little guy! It fits a few books I need, and works better than a purse!

Holds everything I need and then some. So much more convenient for me than a purse. Good quality, nice material. Pics for size reference :)

I was hesitant about the color but when it arrived I just love it! I carry it anywhere and it fits all I need.

I recently bought this mini back pack to use as my purse . With 4 kiddos , having a shoulder bag was driving me bonkers. It surprisingly fits everything I need and it’s not heavy or anything . It’s comfortable to wear, and it’s super cute . I have gotten many compliments on it already. My 5 year old daughter now wants one too :)

I love this bag so much I can hold most average sized things and it’s so cute. Came really in handy on my trip also

I love this bag! It's casual and simple. It goes with everything I wear, plus it's a lot more lightweight in comparison to the previous leather backpack purse I was carrying around. Mine did not have a velcro closure in the tiny front pocket, nor did the front zipper pocket come with a key clip. However, I don't really mind as I don't utilize those parts of the bag much. The main compartment is very spacious and easy for me to organize by keeping my items in pouches. I like that I can fit all my necessities in here (wallet, keys, phone, portable charger + wall charger, and a water bottle), and there's still extra room to spare.

Amazing!

Same Jansport quality. Just pint sized!

This bag is great for us gals (or dudes) who don't want to carry our bags on one shoulder. I bought this to use for a trip to Universal Studios Orlando. It's perfect for any activity where you want to carry your items and keep your hands free!

I can fit my wallet, water bottle, small makeup bag, keys, with plenty of extra room left over. I provided a book of stamps and a few quarters for easy size reference.

I dislike that if you look at the pictures of the backpack, you can clearly see the young lady wearing it on her back... Like WTF, this is clearly false advertising.... Like for real the photo shows the young woman wearing the backpack on her BACK!!! I just wanted to get my girlfriend the backpack purse that she wanted, but clearly, it I not got....

This Jansport Half Pint Backpack, although a little on the expensive side is definitely worth it. I have been looking for a small backpack to use for on the go things instead of a purse and this was perfect. I've had this product for almost a year and would definitely recommend. It's cute (I always get complements on it) and durable. It also surprisingly fits a lot! Overall, this is a very good product; the only downside would be the expensive price.

My daughter has been wanting this for her birthday for months now.. I ordered it and it’s a little smaller than I was expecting for being a mini backpack, but it does the job and holds everything that she is wanting to use it for along with still having a little room for more so I’m happy with it and will have one very happy and excited 7 year old soon! The quality seems to be made of nice material and the galaxy print is so much better in person!

*Side Note: I placed a set of prismacolor colored pencils beside to show the comparison in size along with what little bit I tried of my daughters stuff in it to show you the space. It holds her wallet, Fuji camera(with and without the case) Fuji film, her smaller sketchbook, tin of colored pencils, markers in a pencil case.. that’s just what I’ve tried so far!*

At first I was worried it would be too small to fit my big water bottle I just got but no it fit perfectly and I was able to fit 2 iron on patches to make it unique. Great for Disneyland or if u just need a small bag.

I love this! It’s the perfect size for my upcoming trip to New York City and Disney world. It fits a pair of 8.5 tennis shoes perfectly with room for a wallet and phone easily. I like that I can connect my wallet in the outside pocket to reduce the chance of theft. However, I really wish that there were pockets on the inside. That would have been nice. Still a great buy!

I bought this bag July 31st and it arrived August 10th. Ever since I received the bag, I've been using it almost daily. It's already almost December and there has been no obvious wear-and-tear so far despite frequent use. I'm kind of wishing there was a dedicated outer pocket for cell phones (currently have Galaxy S7) because there have been times where I either lost my phone in the bag or thought I did not have it with me. I also always bring a portable charger with me, just in case of emergencies, and even with the big hunk 'o tech in my bag, there's still room for last-minute throw-ins that happen during any grocery runs and what-not.

I included photos of what I pretty much have on me at all times. Might help anyone needing reference of the size as well as if it may handle their own personal items.

Since this is going to be my new everyday bag I'm going to leave my initial thoughts here, but I'll be back with updates as time goes on!!
So first, the packaging/arrival: It shipped very fast and arrived a few days after ordering it. It came in a box and the actual bag had a big air bag inside of it that kept its shape. It wasn't squished or deformed at all.
About the actual bag, the leather actually feels very sturdy and thick!! The only part that's weird is the front pocket with the bow, it feels like it's just a sheet of cheap pleather. It's thin and a little flimsy. The gold metal plaque on the front of the bag is perfectly centered and says "LCFUN" on it, which I'm relieved about because of other reviews that mentioned different text/typos and crooked placement. The plaque does have some minor scratches. And while the bow on mine didn't arrive crushed like with other reviewers', I have no doubt it'll get crushed eventually, it's the same cheap pleather material as the pocket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another thing to note is how loud the zipper charms are, just with walking movement!!! I am definitely going to replace one (or both) with a regular zipper to avoid the loud clanging sounds.
All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase, this seems to be a good quality bag (aside from the front pocket) considering the price. Will update as I use it.

EDIT: After 2 weeks of daily usage the bag is still holding up great! Usually I only carry small things like my wallet, glasses case, small makeup bag, portable charger, and keys, which isn't that heavy. A few days I had to stuff it to the brim and it's weight concerned me due to the thin straps, but it held up great!!

EDIT 2: It's been 3 months since I bought this bag, and I've been using it pretty much everyday. Nothing is broken or torn, it's still in very good condition with the exception of the plaque having a few more scratches than initially. And the bag retains it's shape even when it's empty which I love!

Insanely cute mini backpack and was exactly what I was looking for. My only complaints are that when it came, the bow was kind of smashed oddly and the metal plate was crooked, however I was able to shift it back into place. The straps lengths can be adjusted to fit probably anyone of any height (I would say I'm definitely taller than most and I had no problem finding a length for me). The material isn't super amazing, but I wouldn't call it cheap by any measure and for 20 ish dollars I am very happy with it.

Beautiful mini backpack purse! Exactly what I wanted. The size isn't too small and fits all the stuff that was in my purse before. Also came extremely fast. Was supposed to take about a month and I received it in less than a week.

This bag is PERFECT. It’s small and compact but super spacious at the same time. It’s got lots of pockets, and what isn’t pictured is the zipper pocket on the back of the bag (the part that rests on your back), which is great for cash. The quality seems to be great. I’m so satisfied with this!

With such great reviews and a desperate need for a purse, I was interested by this purse and it absolutely looked adorable!!

I want to confirm that I was NOT disappointed. This purse arrived BEFORE it said it would arrive, which is absolutely a delight since I was dying to use it. It arrived in suburb condition and I carefully examined it. The purse has 3 zippered pockets and 2 small pockets on the side that could hold a few pens. Like confirmed on other reviews, it's not for school books. It can hold max 2 hardback fiction-sized books. But it is absolutely perfect for going about your day, shopping sprees, and holding everyday things. As far as I can tell, the material is quality and will hold well.

I just got this purse today and I am very happy! I will update this review if anything drastic changes to it.

Love this little bag! Perfect size for me. Not too big and bulky but not too small either. I use it for everyday work. I guess the leather color inside the front pocket with magnetic closure differs each time. I've seen photos from others with other colors, but mine is like dark red snake/ alligator leather on the inside flap. Like someone already mentioned before, the logo metal plate in front reads "MADE IE ITALV". Weird.

You can fit your daily things in including a 16.9 fl oz. water bottle, sunglasses and more. Overall it's a good buy. With a few flaws, but can be overlooked if you don't mind.

PS: the plate on my photos still has the blue protective sticker. It really is a gold plated plaque.

This is by far my favorite bag ever! It isn't huge, but it isn't small. I have a huge wallet that fits perfectly, along with tissues, medications, lotions, chap sticks, make up, wipes, among so much other things. It looks expensive, and is definantely worth the buy!

Bought this for my sister's birthday because she loves backpacks from fashion designers. It is very well made and has some nicely sized compartments. Would purchase again in another color but the workmanship is fantastic. Great buy!

Arrived today! Very cute bag. Perfect size for my daughters school trip to Universal Studios. Has two small pockets on the inside to hold a small bottle of hand sanitizer or lipstick and an additional zipper pocket to put your keys and money. The front outside pocket is perfect for snacks to take around or you can also place snacks on the sides as it has pockets on both ends of the bag too. Pretty spacious on the inside for being small. I took pictures next to my paper towel holder & a small bottle of water next to the bag so you can visually compare the size. Material looks durable too and zippers are smooth. My daughter loves it and the price was great! Happy with this purchase :)

It's really cute and I've had a lot of compliments, however, it is a little cheaply made. There's a few loose threads which is not a problem for me, but a few days ago one of the little decorative spikes came off of the small pocket and it would seem to be a design flaw as the backing on it was a oblong shape instead of circular like the other ones. It is also reversed unlike the other ones, but again not a huge issue for me. I find it to be actually more space than what I needed and it got just job done. I'm actually really happy with it and I've included some pictures for reference as to how big the bag is next to a cosmestic bag and the little imperfections that I noticed. Overall it is not a bad bag for the price but it could be better.

The pictures for this bag do not do it any justice. It is way cuter in person and bigger tjan i thought. You cpuld use this as a purse , a little girls school back pack/ over night bag and even a diaper bag so many uses! I love it you can smell the leather as soon as u open it. The flowers are so bright and make the whole bag. Has tons of little pockets and compartments.

This bag is great overall. For not being a standard size backpack, it’s very roomy inside and can hike a lot of stuff. It also has mulitple pockets inside perfect for small things you don’t want to lose in your bag. And one pocket on each side perfect for your phone. The material is great and the design is very cute.

This Back pack is both pretty and functional. Looks can be deceiving , it looks little . But it definitely is big. I had 2 bottles of water, my kindle, my make up bag ( and that was in the main compartment) and still had plenty of room. It has functional outside pockets, as well as one on the front. I ABSOLUTELY Love this Backpack!!

This is a cute bag! Small and petite with a cute blossom design. It did come with the logo gold plate upside down but I'll still wear it. May get the white color next!

Its adorable, but had a lot of flaws. (bear with me i don't know the actual name to many of these things) I took pictures as soon as i opened my package and noticed that the emblem already had a huge scratch, i thought oh well, if thats it then ok i can deal, but when i opened it i noticed the inside zipper was open, but from the wrong direction. I was able to fix it but I'm assuming it will be a problem later... still i thought ok. Then i looked at the pockets and noticed one was stitched oddly which made it not as open as it should be. Ok, so far its only on the inside, on the plus side its very spacious for how small it is... But here is when i lost my sh*t, you ready, i went to look in the little front pocket and just my luck it didn't have a zipper pully thingy... Nothing.. Still i don't like to complain so i attached a little kitty fur ball to help pull it open and closed. It was a hassle so far, but I'm still going to use it because its really pretty, even with all the craziness that came with one bag, I'm not too picky. Actually I'm just too lazy to take the keychain off again. Maybe i just got a defective bag. (p.s. M&Ms were not included)

The backpack is cute and very convenient . I’ve had it for 10 days now & the only problem I’m having is with the zipper . When the bag is (zipped) closed, the zipper starts to unzip from the opposite side . Other than that it’s fine . Would have rated it 5 stars if the zipper worked properly

I picked this bag not only because it’s beautiful from the picture, but because of it’s cute design of the butterflies and I love butterflies. Secondly, when I opened the package, it seemed smaller than I thought it would be but after adding the same things from another bag, it fit all my previous items perfectly including my iPad mini. It will fit in my work locker just perfect.
I’m very happy with my purchase.

Absolutely love this bag. The zippers glide open and close so easily. Very spacious but the perfect mini size. Being a mom of two youngsters, this is perfect to fit a few diapers, wipes, my wallet etc..
