When you think of coin purses, you might think of vintage embroidered pouches that embody a Grandma aesthetic. Not that Grandma-vibes aren’t chic — but sometimes, it doesn’t quite fit our style needs.

If you’re looking for a more modern take on the everyday essential, Loewe has you covered with quite possibly the coolest version of this accessory, which fulfills a wish you didn’t know you had: to be able to throw your belongings inside a balloon.

See: this leather pouch shaped like a water balloon, which can fit everything from lipstick to credit cards to earphones — what more could you need?

With its snap closure, you can feel sure that your possessions are safe inside, no matter how much you swing the clutch around on its long wristlet strap. The spherical pouch features a balloon-like tie at the bottom, to convince those around you that you are, in fact, holding a water balloon in your hand.

The clutch comes in two colorways: Cotton Candy pink and Lipstick red. It’s perfect for summer parties — just make sure no one mistakes it for a real water balloon.
