Designer Diana Eng has designed a coin purse that's inspired by the [fortune cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies) you receive after a meal in a Chinese restaurant.

This miniature coin purse replicates the fortune cookie in every way -- from its size and shape to its colour. It also comes with a dust bag and of course your own fortune because a fortune cookie isn't complete without one. Personally, I'm much happier opening a cookie filled with change than an actual fortune.
