NASA-Backed 'Air Purse' Stuns at Paris Fashion Week

The innovative Air Swipe bag, made of 99% air and 1% glass, debuted by Coperni, showcases the fusion of fashion and space technology.

Coperni unveiled the Air Swipe bag at its Fall 2024 Paris Fashion Week show, a groundbreaking accessory made from 99% air and 1% glass, weighing just 33 grams.
The purse, a collaboration between Coperni and NASA, utilizes silica aerogel, the lightest solid material known, often used by NASA for capturing stardust.
Designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant described the bag as 'scientific, yet poetic,' highlighting its non-fragile yet delicate nature.
The Air Swipe bag can hold items such as an iPhone, despite its ethereal composition, challenging perceptions of functionality in fashion.
Coperni's history of innovative designs includes spray-painting a dress onto Bella Hadid and incorporating Boston Dynamics' robo-dogs into their shows.
