Beaded coin purse

Where can I find a small beaded coin purse like this?

In the 80s and 90s, I had coin purses like this as a child. They were mainly given away as party favors (I could buy a multipack at the local Boswell's party store). Can it still be found in the US? I see vintage ones on Etsy, but I'd like to know if they're still made and sold.

It looks like Novica has some. Of course, they're not made in the US, nor are they at a price point where they could be given away as party favors.

Best answer: I haven’t been able to find a US source for you, but the term you want for this style of purse (where it looks beaded, but it’s really flat-back plastic gems stuck to fabric) appears to be popcorn beaded. That might help in further searches!
