Review on Doughnut Macaroon Lightweight Daypacks Backpack Backpacks by Nicole Fisher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great alternative to Kanken Mini

I was an avid Hershel backpack fan but wanted to take a chance and try the Fjallraven Kanken for a change of scenery. After a few hours of obsessive searching, I came across Donut Macaroon, preferring the material, looks, and inner workings to the Kanken. There are tons of pockets and compartments - I had a lot of fun laying out all my stuff. I am a mom of 4 and 7 year olds and this bag will easily hold everything you need. There are even two large interior pockets that fit my baby water bottles. The material is a nice thick nylon which I think will prove to be stain resistant. The only downside to this bag is the ties on the front pocket - both have a long strip of leather that needs to be tucked in to secure the flap, so accessing the front pocket isn't as easy as I'd like. If you don't thread the straps, the flap is still held in place by magnets, so this can be a less reliable alternative to threading the straps every time you open and close the bag. This was my first bag of donuts and I'm already thinking about buying another mini macaron with a more casual style. The ties in this particular style really spice it up and I almost feel like it doesn't go well with all the gym wear I've been wearing during the pandemic. I will definitely be saving this one for my less casual days!

Pros
  • buckle closure
Cons
  • The list will be long.
