Fjällräven (cuya traducción es algo así como ''zorro de montaña'') es una marca de moda sueca que lleva 50 años creando prendas cómodas y duraderas pensadas para entornos menos urbanos. Ropa, tiendas de campaña, sacos de dormir,... y muchos otros productos creados para disfrutar al aire libre.
Fjällräven (which means something like “mountain fox”) is a Swedish fashion brand which started its journey into the industry 50 years ago creating comfortable and durable clothes addressed to an audience who like to enjoy a less urban environment. As I’ve said, clothes, but also tents, sleeping bags,... and many other products thought to enjoy into the fresh air.

Pero hoy en día, la moda cada vez tiene menos límites. Ni las faldas son solo para chicas, no pasa nada por mezclar cuadros con rayas, y un chandal ya no sirve solo para hacer deporte. Pues algo parecido le ha pasado al modelo de mochila Kanken, ya que se ha consolidado como una de las prendas indies por excelencia.
But the truth is that nowadays, fashion boundaries are falling apart. Skirts are not only for girls, it’s totally acceptable to combine stripes and squares, and a tracksuit can be wore not only for practicing sports. Something similar has happened to the Kanken bag, as it has acquired the title of one of the most desirable indie piece of clothing.

Pero lo cierto es que el primer modelo de mochila Kanken se creó en 1978 con la intención de suplir las necesidades de la población sueca. El entorno, las condiciones climatológicas de la zona y el estilo de vida de sus habitantes llevaron a Fjällräven a diseñar y fabricar una mochila más ergonómica debido a su tamaño reducido, y de un material muy ligero y que además absorbe el agua y la nieve.
Here’s a little bit of history. The first model of the Kanken bag was created in 1978 with the purpose of fulfilling the needs of the Swedish population. The environment, the weather conditions of the area and the life style of the people led Fjällräven to desig and produce a more ergonomic bag due to its small size. It’s also made of a very light material which also absorbs water and snow.
El modelo que se vende actualmente sigue siendo el mismo que el de 1978. Yo confieso que no la tengo y, sinceramente, tampoco me llama la atención, pero porque tampoco uso mochilas ni bolsos en mi día a día, y no soy partidario de comprarme algo por el simple hecho de que esté de moda. Aunque reconozco que la variedad de colores y tamaños la convierte en un accesorio bastante atractivo, y que parece que se adapta bastante bien tanto a un look más formal como a uno más casual.
The Kanken bag that you see nowadays is the same one that the one which came out in 1978. I admit that I don’t have it and, honestly, I don’t really want it. I’m not that kind of guy who uses bags and I’m not really into buying something because it has become fashionable and I know for sure that I’m not gonna use. Though I appreciate the variety of colors and sizes. The desig is quite attractive to, it looks appropriate both for a more formal look and a casual one.
