let me know if you have any questions about both bags. i’m keeping the doughnut macaroon backpack so i can definitely give you more insight on that bag! and i apologize for not comparing two bags of similar colors, himawari only recently restocked their rose colored bags….also, there is some inconsistency with the camera because i was flipping the bags every way so there is like 1-2 clips where the words are all backwards!

long story short: i bought the himawari backpack for traveling a few weeks back but then realized that all black makes me too sad and doesn’t reflect who i am…so i quickly bought the doughnut macaroon in rose since i’m leaving for my vacation in a few days. with that being said, i hope my indecisiveness has amounted to something useful with this comparison video. the price tag hurts my soul but this is an investment and i plan to use this for many future endeavors so…i will be okay!

*Update on links: can't locate doughnut macaroon rose backpack anywhere...it seems to be in and out of stock online.

where i purchased the black himawari backpack:

  • @emilydo7778
    thank you for putting a reasonable amount of stuff in the bags because for a highschool student looking at reviews for this backpackson amazon they put like 2 items and it ain’t very helpful

    I was thinking about getting the Doughnut Macaroon, but now I think I'm going to purchase the Himawari. They both seem quite good, but the price just makes my decision a whole lot clearer. I'm a kid, so, I don't want to spend a lot of money.

    Yo this is cuter and more practical looking than the kanken. But I already bought a kanken a while back... sheet imma have to spend some more money
  • @Ruiimai

    People who like Kankens love the minimalistic outlook, it's simple, it provides maximum storage, and as an architect student who brings lots of supplies for drafting to school, Kanken holds everything I needed without looking too bulky and it won't feel as much heavy. People who like Doughnuts love the maximum storage and the organization of items as it has many pockets. It has a thicker fabric(but both Kankens and Doughnuts are durable when it comes to fabric), thicker straps and what sets Doughnuts apart from Kankens are their buckled designs which serves as a contrast to the Kankens' simplistic outlook. We all have our preferences. Let's respect what other people like. I still love the Kanken, but I'd still recommend Doughnuts to people, or either depending on what they want and need.

    I have both a Fjallraven Kanken and a Doughnut and I can say that the Doughnut one is way more practical to use than Kanken. the Doughnut bag is water resistant, has a lot of compartments, and requires minimal maintenance. I rarely use my Kanken cause the color fades the more you use it (especially when you use it under the sun cause of the dye) and I hate seeing dirt on it (cause I have the light shade one) and it's so expensive
  • I bought a blue and white Himawari for college and it’s pretty durable. It holds :my 13 in laptop(and charger), a binder planner, 5 subject notebook, folder and 2 textbooks. Not to mention the many pockets it holds stores : my gum, pencil case, phone and calculator. It’s a very nice backpack and very cute!! My only concern is sometimes to open the front pouch the buttons are stubborn and requires a little force. Other then that it’s perfect for me! They have a variety of colors to pick from and it’s not too big or small in size.

    i bought a doughnut just about 3 years ago now, even though covid hit, i went to a small school during that time and was able to stay hybrid so i used it still, for the amount of stuff the backpack has been through in the past 3 years of high school, it's held up absolutely amazing! the quality is well worth the price and it's very practical if you can minimize the amount of supplies you use for school (even though i overstuff mine every day). very much recommend it!
  • @novasdayi
    this is literally just what I needed!! I'm so happy you made this video lol 💕 beautiful and relaxing to watch too!!
  • @rhiannon3504
    im so glad you shoved so much stuff in there to show just how much it actually fit in there
  • Love this comparison! It's exactly what I look for when I try and find review videos on anything, wasn't even looking for a new bag but because of your vid I think I'm gonna buy the Himawari!
  • @turtles7248
    just bought a himawari due to being in running start this fall and I didn't even know it was a boot leg version of another company till now lmao
  • Thank you for this in-depth, non-biased review!! I had been debating between these two bags for my upcoming college semester, and I think I'll go with the Himawari to save a bit of money <3

  • @layniedee
    Whoa~ I needed this. I'm so glad to find these video. I love my Anello bag but I needed more pockets so I was considering of buying Himawari (since it was the only brand readily available in local stores here) but I wasn't sure about it. Thank you! 🌷
