Japanese company designs fashionable pouch to keep scraps of trash in

Gum wrappers swimming at the bottom of your purse or pocket? No longer.

Japanese company King Jim is the brains behind some pretty useful modern devices, like a small anti-theft alarm for your belongings and an alarm clock that wakes you up with vibrations. Now, they’ve designed a pouch that holds tiny trash bags that they’ve named Horupo.

▼ You’d never think trash would be in one of these stylish things, right?

It’s super convenient if you’re a regular gum chewer, have kids that love to snack on small, paper- or plastic-wrapped sweets, or need a place to stash loose receipts. This is especially convenient in Japan, where public trash cans are few and far between, and there’s a social expectation that you’re supposed to carry your trash home with you.

▼ The bags also let you give the illusion that you’re a neat and organized person.

Since the trash bags are plastic, they can even hold waste that’s slightly wet, like wet tissues! The trash bags come in a roll style with perforated bottoms, so you can tear off one bag and replace it with a new one easily.

▼ The bags are also easy to tie shut, so no trash will be floating around.

The pouches are available in two sizes and four colors: black, pink, khaki, and navy. The standard size measures 19 by 13 by 26 centimeters (7.5 by 5.1 by 10.2 inches) and has a snap closure to keep things from falling out.

▼ The khaki is more of a green shade, it looks like.

The slightly smaller two-fold size is 9.5 by 13 by 3.9 centimeters (3.7 by 5.1 by 1.5 inches) and has an extra compartment with a fold down the middle that’s perfect for keeping a packet of tissues in.

▼ Both sizes are pretty useful, so it’s hard to choose!

Both sizes are available for 1,680 yen (US$14.61), and refill trash bags are available at 410 yen for a 20-pack. If one of your resolutions this year is to start being tidier, the Horupo pouch can help you do it!
