Fjällräven

Fjällräven’s Queen West brand store brings the Swedish outdoor label to Toronto. Most people recognise the company from the Kånken, the boxy backpack with the fox logo that has become a fixture on commuters and students around the world, and the store stocks it in a wall of colours.

There is much more inside: hard-wearing trousers and jackets, many made with the brand’s waxed G-1000 fabric, plus insulated parkas suited to a Canadian winter. Fjällräven emphasises durability and sustainability, and its pieces appeal to hikers and urban shoppers alike. Expect a calm, Scandinavian-style space. It is a short stroll from the King West condos up to Queen near Spadina.
