ABOUT US
We are an international outdoor company with an aim to connect more people to nature. Our story begins in Sweden a few years back

It all started with a backpack. The founder of Fjällräven, Åke Nordin, was called into nature by his life-altering experiences in the outdoors. The backpack he used, however, was less inspiring. Uncomfortable and impractical, Åke was convinced there must be a better way and set out to create it.

Born out of passion and created for necessity, Åke's spirit of innovation, respect for nature, and desire to enable others to experience the outdoors still runs through our DNA at Fjallraven.
