Fjallraven Kånken are a popular backpack choice in the West. At a glance, it's not got anything special but the secret lies in it's materials and iconic look. The brand now has many designs, but the popular choice remains to be their classic backpack. It's made of a synthetic material, vinylon F, which is lightweight, durable and manages to hold its shape. However, it does have drawbacks, it has a very basic design and doesn’t give you features that an INR 10,000 bag should, like a padded compartment for your laptop, shoulder pads and quick-access pockets. But if you like the look and want to try it out, we found these similar-looking alternatives!
