Anello backpacks (rucksacks) from Japan are so kawaii!
I have been seeing it on my feed for so long that I decided to get one for myself. But where to buy? These knapsacks are so popular here and every where else that there are a lot of resellers who sell counterfeit or knock off versions of the brand.

Luckily, I have a friend who traveled to Japan late last year and gifted me with not just one but two Anello backpacks- Anello Mini Nylon in Grey Beige rucksack (AT-B1492) for me and the other one is an Anello Polyester Kids backpack (AT-H0853) for my daughter.

Stitches| Front Pocket
I didn't see any loose threads when I checked/inspected the bag when I took photos for this entry. The color of the thread matches the color of the fabric/lining used for the bag.
Color Combination
Anello has a wide selection of colors. Each color has a corresponding lining in a different shade. Take my Anello Nylon Mini Backpack in Grey/Beige, it has a Navy Blue lining. You may check the color combination of your bag from the official Anello website.
Inside Tag
My Anello Nylon Mini Backpack in Grey/Beige has a manufacturing date found in the inside tag of the bag. Mine reads 2016.07.09 What's your bag's manufacturing date?

Okay, so I am showing you the back side/part of my Anello Nylon Mini Backpack. The bag handles do not drop on its side. There's a zipper on the side for easy access. Notice the two parallel "V" stitching at the center. The two straps are padded. And lastly, the two side pockets have lining that matches the color of the inside of the bag.
Additional notes:
The original Anello rucksack can stand on its own. The bottom part does not sag even when the bag is full. When you open the bag, the mouth opening remains open and doesn't close on its own.
