Washable bag to hold facemarks for secondary school?

Ds about to start 6th form next week. With news tonight that he might need facemarks, I am trying to get prepared. He takes public transport to get there so will need masks anyway, but I am thinking about a bag to put the mask into so it is not just shoved in his school bag or pocket. Potentially he might need two masks a day, so two bags. I don't want to use ziplock bags as we would need to throw away and replace each day. So is there a washable version that I can just wash with the masks at the end of the day???

I bought a few small bags of Etsy
They are like the wedding type favour bags in cloth with a little clip on it so you can attach it to stuff
I have one in my bag , one on my phone and one on my set of keys .
Each bag has a mask in it and I keep a few spare masks in my car and bag
Have a look on Etsy just put in face mask bags they have loads on there

I make drawstring bags for my daughters' dance shoes and for pretty much everything, they can be so useful. We learned to do them as pencil cases when I was in year 3. REALLY simple honestly. or a cloth zip up purse. might be harder to find in a more masculine fabric though. Have a look on ebay.

I've made some drawstring bags, much like the scrubs bags.

Have your got a Flying Tiger near you? They do cotton drawstring bags for about £2. I think they're supposed to be laundry bags / shoe bags and they usually stock them near to the travel accessories stuff.
