How to embroider on your Fjallraven Kanken backpack

Get inspired!

There’s loads of great inspiration out there when it comes to customising your Kanken, and we’re obsessed with Keshia Sih’s pretty florals and patches.

Or if you’re looking for something that packs more of a punch then Petra’s bold and beautiful floral embroidery, are perfect. These statement stitches are a gorgeous addition to an already stylish backpack!
