The Coperni Air Swipe Bag features a familiar shape used by the Parisian ready-to-wear and accessories brand, and a perplexing composition of 99% air and 1% glass.
This Fall/Winter 2024 fashion innovation from Coperni was built on a nanomaterial used by NASA called silica aerogel or “frozen smoke.” While the space agency uses this super-light material for capturing stardust, Coperni is pushing the boundaries of style with this unusual accessory. While the Air Swipe Bag comes in at just 33 grams, silica aerogel is a material that can withstand extreme heat and pressure, making it a marvel of science and fashion alike.
The compact handbag promises to be coveted by fans of micro-bags and boundary-pushing design, especially if they’ve had their eye on similar styles like Coperni’s Glass Mini Swipe.
