Looking for the perfect handbag that is sophisticated, yet shows that you’re a bit frugal? The Noodles Purse is here to help.
Brought to us by Etsy shop, rommydebommy, the handbag is made to look just like a brick of instant noodles, pre-soak.
It’s made of foam and has enough space in it to hold a few small items. Although, since it’s handcrafted to order, the Noodle Purse won’t come cheap — about $388. Or, about 388 instant ramen dinners.
If you’re looking for the perfect cereal couture, you should be holding on to one of these clutch handbags that are made to look like vintage cereal boxes.
Brought to us by English designer Anya Hindmarch, the cereal box clutches are part of her new Imperial collection. They’re to be featured at Hindmarch’s new Mini-Mart, which hopes to bring “luxury to the not-so-luxurious world of mini-mart products.”
The “luxury” part comes in the form of the packaging graphics printed on python skin, and accented with suede lining and gold closures. They’re GRRREAT!!

Bringing your own lunch to work goes couture. The Feast, a clutch purse made to look like an everyday brown bag, was created by Marie Turnor.
The soft leather strongly resembles paper and will have co-workers envying your purse and possibly your peanut butter and jelly.

Real world problem… Having to carry a fast food bag in one hand and your oversized beverage in the other. Simple math tells us that we’re then officially out of hands. Solution… Evolution could eventually grant us a third hand, specifically designed to hold a smartphone, or we could develop something like The Fast Food Purse.
Designed by student Seulbi Kim, the food tote will help contain all of your fast food items, including your drink. Now you can get back to using your free hand to do more important things — perhaps to check-in to McDonald’s, or to tell all of your friends how you’re about to ‘devour a Whopper.’

With its inedible exterior and nonsensical contents, the fortune cookie is relatively useless. But now, the Fortune Cookie Coin Purse is here to help make up for the real fortune cookie’s shortcomings by holding your loose change. It’s the least it could do.
Brought to us by Diana Eng, the recycled leather coin purses take the form of the complimentary cookie, but without the useless lottery numbers and Chinese lessons inside. Available for pre-order here.
