The green jacket is actually almost 40 years old, developed for a Swedish Greenland Expedition. Kånken, the smaller of the two backpacks is from 1978 and was almost part of a school uniform for Swedish children. At the end of the 1970s, new statistics showed that 80 percent of the Swedish population at some time suffered from back pain, a discomfort that was reaching younger and younger age groups. Experts believed that if the load from school books was re-distributed from one shoulder to both shoulders, back pain would lessen and perhaps even disappear. Fjällräven's founder Åke Nordin followed the debate on crooked backs and sketched a functional, affordable backpack that met the needs of children to carry books and folders to and from school. Kånken was born! Great to see them in U.S.! Hi,

The bags themselves are designed primarily for trekking/travelling though, so if you're after a shoulder bag for use in the city you should check out Ordning & Reda (another Swedish brand) - do you have that in the US?
