Fashion brand Coperni introduces a look at its Swipe Bag in a new build using an actual meteorite that fell onto Earth about 55,000 years ago. The rock used was confirmed to be authentic by Theatrum Mundi, which is a unique gallery in Europe that is home to paleontological pieces gathered from space and iconic sci-fi films.
The handbag is made from the debris that is picked up from earth so that each Meteorite Swipe bag is unique to its own -- no one bag is crafted using the same stone. The website reads, "The meteorite will be individually sourced per each order and can come from various locations, depending on where the meteorite fell on earth."
