Also up for grabs is some sliders and a Krispy Kreme T-shirt all embossed with the Krispy Kreme logo.

You can get the whole collection and look like you're starting a shift making some freshly baked Original Glaze doughnuts.

The new range is available in some stores already, but the collection has only just dropped online.

While some seem thrilled with the collaboration, others not so much.

One woman showed off the new collection on Facebook and many were left wondering who would wear it.

One person wrote: "Why walk around in that?"

Meanwhile a fourth said: "Oh no."

"Is this actually real?” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “Is it bad that I actually think the backpack is cute?!"
