Met the Swipe? You’ve Probably Saved It Already.
A Bag Built for the Internet Era: Designed to mirror the iPhone’s "swipe to unlock" icon, the Swipe Bag has become more than an accessory. It’s a product of now, sleek, sculptural, and quietly strange in the best way possible. From red carpets to street style edits, it’s been carried by Doja Cat, Kylie Jenner, Jennie Kim, and Tyla, all of whom understand that it’s not just what you wear, but what it means.
The Swipe is the type of bag that instantly says: You get it.
Beyond the Swipe: Object Experiments That Go Viral
What began as a subtle reference to Apple’s “swipe to unlock” icon has become Coperni’s most recognizable shape — and its most radical. The Swipe Bag is no longer just an accessory. It’s a medium. A statement. A recurring question wrapped in leather and irony. Season after season, Coperni reinvents the iconic Swipe — not to chase novelty, but to explore how far a single form can go. It’s part sculpture, part social commentary, part screen-grab magnet.
We’ve seen the Murano glass Swipe — fragile, hand-blown, more museum piece than handbag. The CD-PLAYER Swipe is a functioning Y2K artifact complete with a glowing display, a nod to Sony’s early-aughts Walkman culture. The modern Y2K revival has brought back nostalgic devices, but Coperni flips the script — fusing today's tech with 2000s-era silhouettes.
Then came the 99% Air Swipe — Coperni’s most radical experiment yet. Inflatable and nearly weightless, the bag is constructed from NASA’s nanomaterial silica aerogel: 99% air, 1% glass. First revealed on the Paris Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2024-25 runway, it holds the title of both the world’s lightest bag and the largest object ever created using this space-age material. But beyond the tech spectacle, it’s also a pointed critique of material excess. It asks: in a world drowning in “stuff,” how much of an object must actually exist for it to hold meaning, value, and desire?
And then, Coperni brought the cosmos down to earth with the Meteorite Swipe Bag — quite literally. Made with a 55,000-year-old lunar meteorite, this one-of-a-kind piece turns galactic debris into wearable art. At once absurd and awe-inspiring, the bag embodies time, history, and spectacle in a form that defies mass production and traditional luxury logic.
The Swipe’s evolution didn’t stop there. The Tamagotchi Swipe, fitted with a working digital pet, melds nostalgia, absurdity, and tech into one strangely lovable piece. In Fall/Winter 2023, Coperni pushed the form into maximalist territory with the Swarovski Swipe — encrusted in over 10,000 hand-applied crystals, more couture than carryall. Spring/Summer 2025 brought perhaps the most playful twist yet: the Mickey Mouse Swipe, debuted by Kylie Jenner, with oversized ears and cartoon camp energy — at once ridiculous and refined.
The Swipe was, of course, also featured during Bella Hadid’s viral spray-on dress moment at Paris Fashion Week 2023 — reinforcing its role not just as a fashion accessory, but as a tool of performance, spectacle, and cultural commentary.
Across every iteration, the function is beside the point. These are objects built for friction — for being screenshotted, debated, and remembered. Coperni doesn’t ask if a bag works. They ask what a bag can be.

2019–2022
The Birth of an Icon
Original Swipe Bag
Debuted as a sleek, minimalist silhouette inspired by the iPhone’s swipe-to-unlock icon. It quickly became Coperni’s signature shape — both futuristic and instantly recognizable.
Glass Swipe Bag (Murano Glass)
Hand-blown in Italy, this version transformed the Swipe into a fragile, sculptural object — more art piece than accessory.
Heven x Coperni Collaboration
A collaboration with artists Breanna Box and Peter Dupont (Heven). These glass Swipe bags were all hand-blown — designed to be worn, but also to stand as sculptural tributes to Coperni’s form-meets-concept ethos.

Tamagotchi Swipe (Fall/Winter 2025)

One Shape. Multiple Statements
Despite its avant-garde fame, the Swipe Bag comes in wearable formats. Coperni offers the silhouette in several sizes — from compact mini to practical large — and with optional shoulder straps or top-handle construction. Each version keeps the same clean teardrop shape, a nod to tech icons and brand signatures. It’s the kind of bag that doesn’t shout, but still gets seen. A statement that’s more screen-grab than scream. We’re bringing in a curated selection of Coperni Swipe Bags — sleek, collectible, and made for wardrobes that thrive on culture.

Meet Coperni: Parisian Minimalism Meets Tech Obsession
Founded in 2013 by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, Coperni is named after Nicolaus Copernicus — the astronomer who re-centered the universe. It’s a fitting metaphor for what the brand does with each collection: challenge the fashion status quo by shifting the axis of relevance.
Both graduates of the prestigious Mod’Art and IFM in Paris, the duo rose quickly in the fashion world, earning critical attention for their sharp, conceptual work. They were appointed co-creative directors of Courrèges in 2015, where they honed their approach to modernist tailoring and clean futurism before returning full-time to Coperni in 2018.
With a renewed mission, Meyer and Vaillant now channel their vision through a hybrid lens — blending traditional Parisian savoir-faire with the logic and language of Silicon Valley. Their creative process is rooted in tech design, innovation theory, and pure visual experimentation, resulting in garments and accessories that feel like they’re from five minutes into the future.
Through this balance of craftsmanship and concept, Coperni has become one of the most forward-thinking labels in Paris — constantly reframing the familiar, from tailoring to technology, through precision, irony, and a bold sense of possibility.
