Fashion house Coperni works together with Swarovski to introduce a look at its dazzling Crystal Swipe handbag. It weighs 3.7 pounds and is comprised of almost 200 facets. The bag made its introduction officially during Paris Fashion Week as a part of the fashion house's Spring/Summer 2025 lineup.
It is covered with precision-cut crystals and the artisans at Swarovski spent 110 hours creating the bag by hand. It captures light to reflect a sparkling finish reminiscent of the fairy tale glass shoe from Cinderella. It is made from 10 kg of Swarovski crystal glass and is finished with a smooth and polished surface. The wordmark of Coperni is engraved at the front and Swarovski's swan is at the base.
