New Collections to Bask in the Sun With
Bag brand Doughnut’s lifelong dream is to be part of adventures and to make them memorable for any kind of adventure one might have—from scaling rocky mountains to exploring new cities to something as simple as crossing that busy road to work.
Its latest collection, the Happy Camper series, features neutrals and blue shades to imbibe a clean, crisp design that’s easy to match with any outfit. What’s more, Doughnut’s newest bags are crafted while keeping in mind the brand’s responsible commitment.

All for multifunctional and sturdy yet stylish bags when traveling, or for daily use, Justin Dizon found this in Doughnut for its many handy features and compartments, giving a fuss-free experience while exploring the island. Walks throughout the itinerary were as comfortable. “My main consideration for slides is the texture and if it can be exposed to water, these are what I loved about Freedom Moses. It has a firm texture sans the slippery feeling.”
The two brands’ styles are perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle, allowing the wearer to be comfortable, while at the same time, looking great and stylish as they go about their thrill-seeking itinerary. Jeff Ong shares, “the thing I like about Freedom Moses is that it has a lot of color options, apart from it being super comfortable, especially for trips with a lot of walking. A Doughnut bag makes for a perfect travel companion as well cause it’s equal parts stylish and sturdy!”
On the other hand, for Rhea Ong whose Summer essentials would typically include a comfy pair of footwear, a trusty travel bag, and a camera to capture wonderful moments and sceneries, muses that the slides and the bags from the two brands are her travel buddies.

For Cha Ocampo, the harmony of Doughnut’s functionality and the comfort of Freedom Moses’ slides make her outdoor experiences convenient. “I usually pack my camera, laptop, hard drive, sunscreen and skincare essentials, water bottle, a sarong or beach towel, and other extras so a good, water-resistant and easy-to-bring bag where I can fit all my stuff would be great. Add in slides that are convenient and can be used in any environment for random Summer adventures, then I’m all good to go.”
Christian Tiu’s travel essentials for beach trips would be sunscreen, pre-styled outfits including footwear which plays a big part in completing the whole look and is crucial in making one comfortable the entire trip, especially when going here and there, and a bag that can carry all that he needs and can complement his looks. “Doughnut offers a long list of different designs and sizes that are quality, fashion-forward, and very functional! Freedom Moses slides, on the other hand, are so comfy and are available in different designs that can match any outfit. Best part? They’re cruelty-free and vegan!”
