I’ve wanted one of these bags since the 90’s And no, I’ve still not got around to getting one.There’s something so pleasing in their cool, uncaring simplicity. Not for Fjällräven is the need to keep up with style trends and shiny features. They designed and made a backpack that works back in the 1970’s – and they’ve been making it brilliantly ever since.
