I thought I would test out this site’s trend-setting potential by pushing one particular item I would like to see more of around Chapel Hill. The Fjällräven Kånken has remained unchanged for over thirty-five years and has established itself as an absolute classic thanks to its functional design, ideal size and fun colors. Fjällräven, a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor goods, is world-renowned for their dedication to quality and durability, though it is a shame their prices are a tad high given the import fees. However, over the past few years online stores have been finding ways to put the Kånken on the streets and I think they are starting to catch on. I have only seen a handful on campus, but it would nice to see some more around Chapel Hill – the Kånken will be you companion for a long long time. Promise. I admit I may be a tad biased as I have one myself in bright yellow. But still.
