Coperni has always gained attention for their innovative use of technology in fashion presentations. Remember when Bella Hadid walked on the runway, wearing only a G-string and was spray-painted by two technicians to cover her with an illuminating white dress with a slit? This truly created a fashion history at Coperni's spring/summer 2023 finale show at Paris Fashion Week.
Well, Coperni has done it again and this time it's a bag full of 'airs'. Yeah quiet literally. Coperni has launched an aerogel swipe bag that weighs only 33 grams and is made of 99% air and 1% water. The material used to make the bag is NASA’s nano material silica aerogel, the lightest solid on planet Earth. The bag was launched at Coperni’s fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection.
The Aerogel air swipe bag has been created by Coperni's founders, Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant with the help of researcher and professor Ioannis Michalous. The bag weighs only 33 grams and its dimension is 27x16x6 centimeters. NASA’s nano material silica aerogel used to make the bag is used by NASA to capture stardust and this air swipe bag is the biggest material made of this material.
Coperni was founded by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant in 2013. The brand is known for its modern and innovative designs, often incorporating architectural elements and clean lines into their collections.

The brand has gained popularity for its ready-to-wear collections, which combine modern aesthetics with functionality, catering to the needs of the modern woman.
