My Doughnut Macaroon Bag

30 October 2016

Hello my little Sweeties! Just went back from my dinner and finally I'm settled down with all my work. Is time to blog about something that can be really useful and handy for people who love to travel like me. So if you noticed from my July Taiwan Trip post on my insta or here you probably saw this cute little mini macaroon Doughnut bag that I brought with me during my whole Taiwan Trip and recent Korea Seoul & Osaka, Kyoto Trip. 

I got lots of question on this colourful bag and some of you actually fall in love with its colour. Am I right? I fall in love with it because of the colour combination & design of the bag itself. So the first bag I got was a mini size macro Doughnut bag and it's really popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong as well. I'm really surprised when I went to taiwan because I saw a lot of shop selling this as well except with different color because some was actually limited edition colour.

Travel with Doughnut Macaroon Bag
To be honest the first time I got my eye on this bag is because it's my favourite pastel color. Yeah, I'm really honest on this and after traveling with this macaroon bag for more than twice, I realise its functionality and compartment are the reason why I love it. For those who read my blog all the time you probably know that I only shared things that I love, want and use it personally.

After using this for quite a long time I decided to share this with all of you here because this can be really useful for you if you are still considering which travel companion you wish to get too!

5 Reasons I love about Doughnut Macaroon Bag
I owe more than 2 macaroon bags. 2 macaroon mini (the mini size) and one macaroon normal size but I gave the normal macaroon to Smelly because he love the dark blue colour and I want to get another normal size macaroon with the rose pink colour so that I can have couple matching bag with Smelly! HAHAHAHA

Fyi, Doughnut Macaroon bag came with two size. It's the normal size and the macaroon mini.

Reason #1 - Color Choice
As I mentioned early, what makes this look extra special??! Yes, the colour choices that really stand out and good to distinguish it with other travel bag. 

You will be really shocked with the amount of colour of this Doughnut Macaron bag. It's came with a pure plain color and also some very pretty colour combination. My favourite one you can easily noticed it from my blog! HAHAHA Yes, the pastel pink with rose pink , the purple x pink , the peach with pink and also the grey with maroon. YES! This 4 is totally on my list now! So you better get it when it's available HAHAHAHA

Not just this ok? They even came out with new colour combination / limited pieces once every season. Oh well, please don't be broke after reading my blog ok? lol

Reason #2 - Compartments
Second reason will be something really useful during my travel...It's the compartment designed on the bag. Yes, no joke because I never own any travel bag that has as much compartment as this Doughnut macaroon bag. Even the small one also came with lot of compartments!! Plus, both size came with an extra lap top compartment (normal size) & iPad compartment (mini size) to protect it too. Heart melted I love things that really care about us and know what we want.


This is a mini size macaroon bag. It actually transformed from Doughnut best selling 'Macaroon' style. Macaroon Mini is the true definition of light and essential. If you didn't bring any lap top with you during your trip then this is something you might be really into it because it's good enough to keep all your travel essentials with you.

There are a total of 10 compartments within this mini bag. OMG How awesome is that. Before I check it online I can't see the complete look of the inner beauty of this macaroon bag but now LET ME SHOW YOU!!!

 ↑ 2 x side pocket for you to put your umbrella or bottle 
1x front button compartment 





 ↑ 1x zip compartment

↑ 1x large upper compartment + 2x pocket compartment where you can put your charger , some important card , passport, pen or whatever you like


 ↑ 1x iPad compartment for mini size macaroon bag

 ↑ 2x side inner pocket compartment as well. I put my power bank here & the pocket wifi on the other side of this pocket compartment

↑ For Normal Size Macaroon Bag: The inner compartment on the top of the zip is slightly diff from the mini macaroon size. Also a bigger space for you to put your lap top and the laptop compartment is way too useful for me!


How was it? A yes for sure because for my Seoul and Taiwan trip I didn't bring my lap top with me so mini size is just enough for me but for my previous trip if I need to bring my lap top along for working purpose, I will be carrying the normal size rather than the mini one. But normally I will bring two with me since it's really light and easy to keep too.

Reason #3 - Light Weight
Yes the next reason is stated above this. It's light weight because you can easily put inside your hand carry bag with you or just throw in your travel luggage so when you need it, you just carry it with you. It can be keep and squeeze nicely inside your luggage bag so no worries for this!!


After getting the normal size macaroon I think I prefer the normal size as the bag can really put in a lot of my camera (I carry two camera + tripod stand with me for my working trip) and the handle and strap of the normal size can really hold the weight of my heavy thing. If you just bring your wallet, passport , power bank and some small item then you can go for a mini size instead. For guy of course get a normal size lah! The mini size might look quite cute on male's body size HAHAHAHA

Reason #4 - Water Resistant
Somehow this is quite important for it to be a really useful travel bag. The water resistant keep  your worries away. Now you can run with your bag cover your head under a raining day and no need to worry it.


Rain rain go away and it's raining day but I have no worried about my things inside this bag!! Everything safe and sound! HAHAHAHA I experienced this for all of you. Once I back my homestay or after it stop raining then the bag become dry by itself under the natural sunlight lol. Awesome max!

Reason #5 - Feature Korea Imported Heavy Twill Fabric + Real leather 
Of course, last but not least the special material that can really be a highlight for this bag. It's made by the Korea imported heavy twill fabric and the outer part of the strap is REAL LEATHER. The real leather make the whole bag look extra chio , vintage and gorgeous!!

 OH..MY..GOD!!

 Created with extra love and everything was just too perfect for me! Look at the details!
