(ORDO NEWS) — French luxury accessories brand Coperni recently unveiled a limited edition bag hand-carved from a meteorite that fell to Earth thousands of years ago. It can be yours for as little as 40,000 euros.
As part of its Fall-Winter 23 fashion collection, Coperni has created a unique handbag that “combines archeology, design, and classical and primitive art.”
The mini napkin bag has the general shape of the iconic napkin bag but a rougher finish, which makes sense considering it’s handcrafted from stone. And not just a stone, but a real meteorite , hence the name.
The bag featured in Coperni’s online store is believed to be made from a piece of a meteorite that experts estimate hit Earth 55,000 years ago, but since each bag is unique, shape and color may vary slightly.
The Coperni meteorite bag measures 9 x 12 x 23 centimeters, but you’re probably more concerned about the weight. It is supposed to weigh about 2 kilograms, which is quite heavy for an empty bag.
The French fashion house also said that each meteorite will be presented individually for each customer and delivered from different locations, depending on where the meteorite fell on Earth.
Due to the fact that this unusual handbag is made to order, the purchase is non-refundable.
Some sources state that, depending on the size and quality of the meteorite included in the stone purse, the price could exceed 40,000 euros.
The delivery time for each Coperni meteorite mini bag is approximately 6 weeks.
