I bought a Kanken bag in the size big at the very end of December (December 27th I believe) and I’ve decided to do a review since I didn’t really see many online when I was looking! I’ll also be providing images with this hella long review! I hope this is helpful ^^

Cost: $$$$

Normally it costs $124 CAD but there was the Boxing Week sale going on that had a 20% off discount sale that brought the price down to $94 CAD (but with the $12 tax it was a total of $105). So this bag is on the waaay too pricey side.

Shipping:  ★★★★★

Since it was over $69 CAD, shipping was free! I also received the bag in 2 days!!! It came in this black packet that had bubble wrap on the inside and inside that was another clear packet was my bag

Appearance:  ★★★☆☆

Its really chic and I am in love with the look. but i’ve had it for about less than a month and it’s gotten so dirty :( the dust is very visible and if it gets scuffed a little, from the shipping (I think? I’m not sure... my bag had marks before I even got it) like mine, it’s very noticeable

I really need to wash it OTL

What fits?

usually people only show things that fit inside travel wise and not school supplies, so that’s what I did since I’ll be using this as a school bag!

In the small compartment:  ★★★★★

2 full pencil cases

1 pack of 10 Staedtler Triplus Fineliner

1 calculator

1 small pouch for my different cards

1 small Vaseline Lip Therapy

You can also fit some granola bars but I didn’t have any with me atm

In the main compartment:  ★★★☆☆

1 12″ inch ruler

2 full 2″ inch binders

1 empty 1″ inch binder (to substitute textbooks bc I left mine at school rip)

1 full pencil case 

1 pack of 10 Staedtler Triplus Fineliner

1 (pretty skinny) agenda

1 15.6″ inch laptop

there was actually a little bit more space left for smaller things. Though I couldn’t fit my water bottle in the pouch because the lack of space (if that makes sense). the pouch for water bottles is actually very skinny so only thin water bottles like the Smart Water bottles might fit. To be honest, I had higher expectations since people said that it fit so many things (esp. in the classic) and I’m lowkey scared my math and science textbook won’t fit with my 2 2″ inch binders.

Comfort:  ★★★★☆

Dude, its hella comfy. I have really bad back pain and my posture is so bad rip and just like the brand promises, it does help with the pain. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s always pressed against my back in a way so I’m forced to stand up straight (!!!) and unless it’s extremely heavy, I don’t usually bend forward. 

For more info I suggest you see this video. It’s for the maxi size but it’s still helpful!

Material:  ★★★★★

It seems water resistant (I haven’t tested it yet) as stated on the site, and its seems durable like everyone says (again, I’ve only had this for about less than a month so I don’t know myself). The site also says that it’s Eco-friendly, so that’s a plus!

Overall rating:  ★★★★☆

I give it that because I would like more space personally and it gets dirty really fast and its noticeable. But I still love it!
