Coperni, always seeking to depart from the traditional fashion landscape with spray-on dresses and robot dog models, is looking up to the stars with this literal out-of-this-world bag made from actual meteorites.
The Mini Meteorite Swipe Bag is made more specifically from a “lunar fossil that fell to Earth 55,000 years ago, found in France in 1968 and carved in 2023,” states creative directors Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant in a report via Luxurylaunches.
The ancient galactic stone was then chiseled into a mini handbag measuring 3.5 x 4.7 x 9-inches and weighing around 3.9 lbs. Its shape and sturdiness aren’t unlike mini dumbells and might even prove to be a good workout when shopping.
Meteorite pieces for each bag are specially purchased, ensuring no two pieces are alike. And what’s the price of carrying a piece of space to brunch, you ask? US$42,000.
The bag will appear at the Fall/Winter 2023-24 fashion show. If you are interested in housing your keys and wallet in a meteorite, you can find more information on Coperni’s website.
