Go for it!
I spent a while weighing up whether or not the Kånken Mini would be worth it, and eventually decided that it would be. I was right. It's the perfect size for a day bag: you can fit a book, bottle of water (I've got a 500ml Chilly's bottle [also recommended] to go in there, but have also fit a 750ml plastic water bottle in there), medicine/make-up bag, notebook, snacks, phone charger...pretty much everything you'd need for a day out. The fact that it's a rucksack means it's kinder on one's back than a satchel or handbag; in fact, this and the Herschel I've got for work have made a significant difference in this regard. The straps take a bit of working out, and I think they might dig in if they were too tight, you had lots of heavy stuff in the bag, and/or you were wearing a vest or tank-top, but I don't think it's a big enough problem every day to make the Kånken not worth it - especially as you can't really fit lots of heavy stuff in the Mini! You can get padded straps from Fjällräven for some bags, so that's something to consider if you were concerned. The Mini has a few sections: a small one on the front, at the bottom, which is good for (surprisingly) small things, such as keys; the main compartment, which has a separate pocket at the back and features a light bit of polystyrene (?) - quite thin and almost long as the bag, this seems to help the bag keep shape, but is, apparently, for you to use as a makeshift cushion if you find yourself needing one when out and about; and two pockets on either side of the bag, which are, irritatingly, not big enough to hold water, but can contain something like a phone/iPod or card wallet (if you're sure you're not near pickpockets!). I haven't tested the bag in the rain yet, but the material seems relatively hardy and durable... Fjällräven/Amazon say it's made of 'Vinylon F, a highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use', so maybe it is waterproof! I'd still carry valuables/electrical things in a waterproof case/bag, though.. There's no aeration system, so it's been pretty warm and a little sweaty in the hot weather as it sits against the bag; the best way to deal with this is to put a cold compress (acquired from somewhere like Boots and kept in the freezer) in the back pocket/section...it's delightful while it lasts, though it doesn't last for as long as you'd like it to, alas! The colour is obviously a matter of preference, but I think the Kånken runs a bit lighter in the flesh/material than in photos; I got the granite and find it a lighter grey than it looks on Amazon/the Fjällräven website. It's fine, but I wouldn't have picked it, if that makes sense. In short: get one of these! It's useful, practical and good for your back.

Highly Recommend
I love these backpacks ( I now own six of them in different colours!) The mini is the size of a medium handbag and therefore ideal for work as I can comfortably fit in an umbrella, purse, glasses, make up bag, I pad, phone etc and still have room for a flask. It's really comfortable to carry on the shoulder and the dual handles make accessing the inside really easy. Highly recommend. Watch out for fakes though, I received one a few weeks ago and returned it pronto.

I love this bag
So happy with my new Fjallraven Kanken mini. I have been wanting to buy this bag for years now and finally decided to treat myself. I originally bought the larger classic size but I didn’t quite enjoy how rigid and structured it was and ended up returning it. This small size is perfect as I don’t need it for school/ uni anymore, it fits all my everyday essentials and then some. The colour I picked is royal blue, I was worried about it being too bright but it’s more of a toned down greyish blue which I love. Came packaged very nicely just like the ones you would get if you ordered directly from Fjallraven. Seems original, I did a lot of research into fakes and so far it all seems fine. 10/10 would recommend. I’m now using it as a work bag and I can’t wait to take it on all my summer trips. Will post updated pictures and review after longer use

Sturdy and well-made!
As always, a fabulous backpack from Fjällräven. Not as big as I expected since I already have a standard size Kånken, but manages to hold anything I need for a day out with plenty of room to spare.

more useful than you'd think
Bought this for my gf, I said the regular size one would be better but she insisted on the mini. turns out it's a great size for her every day carry-about. Very durable. Weathers nicely and looks better after a couple of months of use. The grey is a great colour too, goes well with the red fjallraven accents

The wife loves it
The wife loves it, it’s the mini version compared to the normal size, it does what you need it for, carrying the basics and still have room. Yes it’s more expensive then other backpack’s but it will last a long time.

Superb all round!
First off the delivery time was amazing. It had 7 days lead time and I got it the next day after I ordered it. Very impressive. I think this bag is brilliant. For something so small I get so much in it. Brilliant for bits and bobs you need for going shopping or out and about. Love it. Highly recommended.

Great bag and seems original or Authentic. We have the Coral that we have had for 10 years and my youngest wanted one as well. I love the true Navy color with the red contrast. Nice adjustability of the straps for children and adults wearing. Nice inner sleeve on back wall pocket, double zipper closure and front zippered pocket. It has two small outer side pockets. as well. Beig the material they are made with it doe take time to break in and soften. It is hard and crunchy a bit and stiff, but this will break in over time as our older one has. It is perfect proportionately for my 11 year old and she loves it as her new purse. Good Value as we have had are old for years and it's still going strong. Probably can be washed gentle in machine air dried though I haven't tried Great for traveling and placing inside another bag if needed. many sizes, but the mini was perfect for us. Holds a lot the mini. Sunglasses w/ case, wallet, 20oz Water bottle, mini umbrella, phone, Makeup and could fit more. it can become more deep if you release the snaps of the handles and fit a good amount and doesn't look bulky. Great bag and company, the quality is ther and the Authenticity, Does Not come with paperwork as I am unsure if the older one did. Came packaged okay. Durable for sure. I wouldn't keep extremely heavy items inside and weight the bag but it will definitely last years to come.

Ich hatte mir diesen Rucksack bestellt aufgrund seiner praktischen Form und der tollen Farbe Hätte aber nicht gedacht das er doch eher was für Kinder ist Das zurück schicken und der Kontakt mit dem Verkäufer war echt spitze deswegen gibt es defintiv volle Punktzahl Alles sehr unkompliziert und freundlich Der Rucksack ist eher für Kleinkinder im Kindergarten alter Hat aber eine super tolle Qualität und kam sehr schnell an auch wenn ich ihn zurück geschickt habe Vielen Dank

J'ai longtemps hésité pour la couleur est au final j'ai pris rose bonbon. Le sac est magnifique, c'est mon deuxième mini. Il est authentique.. mais au final j'ai décidé de l'échanger pour un couleur plus foncé. Question de goût tout simplement. Si non le sac est vraiment parfait
