Disappointing quality
Bought last year for my son’s PreK class. The inside liner is completed shredded and falling apart. I have two other back packs that I purchased for my daughters 3 years ago and they are still in good shape. I think the quality has gone down.

Faded Color
The backpacks come in beautiful colors, but they tend to fade and develop white marks over time. The one that holds up best is the black one.

Schlechte Qualität
Die Tasche an sich ist super schön doch leider ist die Qualität des Stoffs nicht gut. Nach einigen Tagen reibt die Farbe leicht ab und ich finde innen könnte auch eine kleine Tasche zum verstauen sein. Ich habe mehr als 140€ für den individuellen Rucksack bezahlt und finde dafür ist er es nicht wert.

Great feature but …
I like everythink on your design but I can’t decide which model is right for me. I need a medium size but at the same time has to be elegant . I want to use it for work therefore the backpack has to be comfortable and elegant bag .

The ultimate everything bag
Mine is 6 years old now and probably needs to be replaced but for Co text I use it EVERY day. It’s been a work bag, a day trip bag, laptop bag, nappy change bag, everything bag. The best purchase ever

A bit upset… shoulder strap detaching from bottom
I have been gifted this backpack a few years ago, and used it VERY lightly. As I picked it un a feb days ago, I have seen that one of the shoulder straps is detaching from the base of the backpack. And I do not mean the actual strap, I mean the angle-y part Made of the same material of the rest of the body… a bit upset

fits a lot, stains easily
great little bag, stylish, fits a lot more than expected. i fell into a creek on a hike and nothing in my bag got wet and i had my powerbank in there so thats a plus !! however it stains sooooo easily, i have the peach colour and its basically grey now, partly from my coat and partly from the london underground. tried to clean it but its hardly budging. i recommend getting a darker colour.

Poor quality
I bought a Kankan backpack for my daughter ten years that has lasted all this time. I bought myself one about two years ago and they are not the same quality. The zipper broke on my backpack within just a year! I took it in to get fixed, but it broke again after just a few months. I took it in a second time to be fixed and it broke AGAIN. What a huge disappointment. The quality has gone way down. I would not buy another bag from this company. I’ve recommended this company to many people and now I regret it.
