A ring of anti pick pocketing is invisible when worn but does not make you invisible. Instead it grants magical properties to a non-magical bag, weapon, shield, gloves, gauntlets or bracers. It ALWAYS requires attunement, and becomes visible when it is removed or the wearer dies. It's rarity is identical to the item it simulates, and always costs exactly 25% more than the original item.
The original Ring of Anti-pick pockeing was a bag of holding (based on a tattoo from Mage Errant novels), but they can be used to simulate any magical bag, weapon, shield, gloves, gauntlets or bracers. The rest of this description will assume a bag of holding, but versions can be found that simulate any similar item.
While wearing the ring, you can pick up any non-magical bag and it will act as a bag of holding, but the ring provides all the magic. If the bag is stolen, you can pick up any other bag as a replacement and reach into it and recover whatever magic items you placed in the first bag.
Dispel magic, detect magic, identify, anti-magic etc. will not work on the bag, as it is non-magical. But all those spells will work on the ring. Keep in mind that a Detect magic only detects the presence of magic if the item itself is invisible, so no 'aura' will be seen.

I think is a great idea, but it would have to be a legendary item because of how op it is
