They are essentially an upmarketed fashion brand that has a few very good items, most adopted in the early bushcraft phase of youtube and it rides on having old looking designs without the specific innovations that better materials with old designs would help make. A good example for my locality, Wilderness Equipment, who make a normal looking Kelty/north face type outdoor bag, but it's actually canvas.
You could try Tatonka for the same price line. That is nto to say Fjalls bags are bag, but they have an extra price hike on them due to fashion and brand age. So it's simply the price per performance, Second hand would be great or a very big discount.
The thing with canvas as a performance material is that the performans is duarbility in exchange for heavy weight. Not a bad thing to someone used to say, external frame packs. But the price point of Fjallraven means you could go get some specialised stuff or even custom gear like Kirafu made just for you and your fit shape. 200 is a healthy casual, 400 is paying for specialty materials or brand. 600 is paying for a combo of both and anything over that is super specialised gear. IE arctic rop bag compatable climging tech. I hope this sort of makes sense.
Another thing is region. Europpeans had access to some hiking stuff that is expensive to mark up import, where as the US has one of the coolest domestic markets for custom and premade gear in the world if not the best. I'm Australian so from an outsider looking in who has had plenty of chances to try both that's where I'm comming from. For us durability is basically mandatory. UV, hard scrub will kill most hiking bags if you go offtrail. And a lot of here is off trail.
Fjall isnt bad it's just that you should be selective. Because you might be able to take say, 500usd and drop it on a kifaru or hillpeople gear frame. Peep the prices here.
