It is fake. When I compared it with my mom's bought mini kanken in Fjallraven store, the canvas is not smooth and always crumple. Even though I am a kind of person who take care of personal effects, I found this bag became whiting itself near zip and the fringe. But my mom's mini kanken does not appear like this one. I decided to return it because I cannot stand the fact that I spend 60 dollars and get a fake one.
