Hardly any German city, whose cityscape is not dominated by the Hipster backpack No.1<\/strong>. Across the nation anyone is carrying proud his Kanken<\/strong> (pronounced K\u00e4nken) on the back. Stylish moms<\/strong> in Prenzlauer Berg, as well as aspiring young entrepreneurs<\/strong> around the Alster and the kiss-kisses-boys and girls<\/strong> in the Bavarian metropolis. I must confess: I also have a bit flirted with him (even my 5 year old niece has one). But so far I could resist. Until the Re-Kanken has expanded the Kanken-Family.<\/p>\n

The my-GREENstyle Eco-Darling Re-Kanken<\/h2>\n

That has now changed. Because the Re-Kanken<\/strong> – so to speak the Kanken 2.0<\/strong>. Now comes the sustainable version<\/strong> of the hipster Backpacks<\/strong> of the Swedish outdoor specialist Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven<\/strong> on the market. But now times sequentially. Finally, there is a real Kanken story.<\/p>\n

1978: the Kanken – the original<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of the 70 studies found out that about 80 percent of the Swedes suffer from back problems<\/strong>, which, e.g., due to the trendy shoulder bags. Since this problem occurred with young Swedes<\/strong>, Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven founder \u00c5ke Nordin has unceremoniously designed an affordable and functional backpack<\/strong>, which distributes the load across both shoulders and offered enough space for school supplies. The Kanken<\/strong> was born. Actually, nothing has changed in the last forty years on Kanken – two models and several colors have been added.<\/p>\n

My new favorite companion<\/p><\/div>\n

2016: A sustainable star is born. Welcome, Re-Kanken!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until the sustainable “Revolution”<\/strong> came – the Re-Kanken<\/strong>. This model is in fact the sustainable star<\/strong> of the backpacks. The Eco-Darling in original size is made from a single yarn<\/strong> from recycled polyester<\/strong> of 11 PET bottles<\/strong>, the Mini<\/strong> from 9 PET bottles<\/strong>. Plus: Thanks to an innovative coloring technique<\/strong> (SpinDye) the Re-Kanken receives a great color palette and 75 percent less water<\/strong>, 67 percent less chemicals<\/strong> and 39 percent less energy<\/strong> is exhausted. Sounds good? Is fantastic!<\/p>\n

My Re-Kanken and me – sustainable Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that’s why I went immediately at the backpackers – the Re-Kanken<\/strong> accompanied me on the Fashion Week<\/strong> in Berlin (perfect for my MacBook and everything Bloggers usually so doing), is at my side while shopping, excursions etc.<\/p>\n

My – your – OUR Re-Kanken<\/strong><\/p>\n

But sometimes my new great love is cheating me – because my twin daughters<\/strong> have already thrown an eye on my Eco-Darling<\/strong>. They had him proud at school when they had the subject of waste, or waste reduction in the basic science course<\/strong> and they declared her class that her mommy has a backpack from plastic bottles<\/strong>. A backpack from plastic bottles? The other naturally wanted to see. Sounds a bit strange for 10 year olds. More surprised were all that of Re-Kanken looks just the same as a normal backpack.<\/p>\n

Who takes a place here?<\/p><\/div>\n

Long live the Re-Kanken<\/h4>\n

The only difference: Thanks to recycling<\/strong> the annoying plastic waste<\/strong> scored a super-useful purpose. And if my Re-Kanken eventually faded away, it is completely recyclable<\/strong>.
\nRe-K\u00e5nken about 89.85 \u20ac or the Mini about 79.95 \u20ac. From 08\/01\/2016 buy here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

(And who wonders what a wonderful spectacle I wear: that\u00b4s of Toms and the favorite shirt in light blue is from Armedangels)<\/p>\n
