How is fjallraven Kanken pronounced?
F – Y-ah-ll – R-ah-ven
Easy peasy. Fjällräven translates as ‘Arctic Fox’, hence the adorable badge logo that we see stamped on all of the brand’s coats, jackets and popular Kanken backpacks. And Kanken is pronounced more like ‘Konken’, by the way, if we’re aiming for full pronunciation accuracy.
What does Kånken mean in English?

What’s the meaning of fjallraven Kanken?
As it were, “Kanken” means “to carry” in Swedish.
Why is fjallraven so expensive?
The real answer is “Fjallraven jackets cost $310 because FR charges that much and people keep buying them as fast as they’re produced”. If people didn’t want their jackets and stopped buying them so that FR had jackets sitting on shelves in their stores going to waste, they would drop their prices.
