About this product
The Fjallraven Vardag 17 is a unisex everyday backpack built for office commutes and school use, offering a practical 17-litre capacity in a carry-on-friendly package. Its outer shell is constructed from robust 500-denier recycled polyamide (100% recycled polyamide 500D), while the interior lining uses a lighter 210-denier recycled polyamide for a total pack weight of just 550g. Measuring 41cm tall by 28cm wide and 18cm deep, the bag fits neatly without bulk. A dedicated laptop sleeve positioned against the back panel accommodates most 15-inch laptops, and the main compartment includes internal mesh pockets alongside open side pockets for quick-access storage. A zippered front pocket handles smaller essentials, and a lash tab on the front face lets you secure additional gear externally. The Coal Black colorway suits a range of settings, and the use of recycled materials throughout reflects a commitment to reducing environmental impact. Made in Vietnam.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Fjallraven Vardag 17 for its clean, retro-inspired Scandinavian aesthetic and its use of durable, PFAS-free recycled polyamide fabric. The laptop compartment, which features an elevated base to protect devices, and the accessible side water bottle pockets are frequently highlighted as practical strengths. The bag is widely regarded as a solid, lightweight everyday carry for commuting and school. The most common complaints center on the minimal padding on the shoulder straps and back panel, which can become uncomfortable under heavier loads, and the limited internal organization. Some reviewers also find the front buckle loops unnecessary.
