Re-Kanken

In August, Fjällräven is adding a new member to the Kånken family of backpacks. A re-invented version of the long-time favourite, Re-Kånken is produced using recycled plastic bottles and a new dyeing technique that together radically reduce the bag’s environmental footprint. With Re-Kånken, Fjällräven’s design team has created the most sustainable Kånken ever. Coming soon...This August 2016 ONLY at Siam Discovery

Re-Kånken gives new life to old, discarded plastic bottles. Practically the entire backpack, (except the buckets, buttons and zips) is made from one single material: recycled polyester (i.e. those discarded plastic bottles). Plus, because the main fabric, lining and straps are all made from the same yarn, Re-Kånken will be much easier to recycle in the future. But the resource saving doesn’t stop there. Re-Kånken also utilises the dying technique SpinDye®. This new technology radically reduces the use of water, chemicals and energy in the dying process.
