Perhaps given the rise of online shopping and credit card usage, it has probably been years since many people have seen a piggy bank in a retail outlet. This observation, however, would not negate the usefulness of this Storage Box Series for plenty of folks in the modern metropolises of the day. Plenty of urbanites use transit and laundromats and are regulars at mom-and-pop shops across cities. The continued presence of loose coinage has resulted in recycled mason jars full of money and many less organized means of storing nickels and dimes.
What Peishan Mai has delightfully designed are piggybanks that function as coin trays and dishes to hold all sorts of pocketable items, from pens and keys to headphones and watches. They're simultaneously modern and nostalgic between their form, function and color scheme.
