Bought a Kanken and now worried it won't be real

As above really! I have been after a new work bag (for the office and work travel) for a while and landed on the Kanken laptop 2. It's £120 on their website but Amazon had one for £106. Is this a suspiciously low price (comparatively)? I bought it thinking if it came and was an obvious fake I could send it back, but now I'm doubting my ability to tell. What do we think?

I think it depends on who the seller is on Amazon - is it Amazon themself? I'd trust them more than a random company. Kanken are notorious for being faked, although you still paid a relatively high price, so hopefully it is real.

Yes it's direct from Amazon, but that doesn't mean it won't be a fake. I'm annoyed with myself!

Amazon returns are super efficient btw

That’s not a particularly low price - Amazon do discount them and I’ve had a couple that were definitely genuine and compared to ones bought from Fjallraven.

You can google what to look for, if you are concerned when it arrives; there are a few top tips

That's not a massive discount. It's probably genuine, but "last season's colour" or something. Amazon direct (ie Sold By Amazon) is much less likely to be a fake than some random website you chanced upon.

Thanks, that helps. I've already looked at a whole lot of articles on how to spot a fake so think I'll be able to tell.

I had one from Amazon and pretty sure it's genuine. Nothing they don't have now sadly

Dammit - it came, I think it's real but I don't trust my own judgement. I might need to send it back, I might just always wonder

Do you like it?

Does it seem sturdy/good quality?

If so......does it really matter?! You are overthinking.
