Doughnut Macaroon Backpack

by Doughnut

A colorfully designed everyday backpack from Doughnut, popular for its Macaroon silhouette and size.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Despite loving the design and size, the original poster had the zipper break on two separate Macaroon bags within about a year each, even after attempting repairs.

    I bought a large Doughnut Macaroon and I love it's design sm... but the zip broke and I got it exchanged. Then later on, the zipper on the second Doughnut Macaroon bag broke as well, within a year.
