It is the year of glass, there is now no room for doubt. Our protagonist has also bewitched the world of fashion, shining at the Paris Fashion Week first and then at the Grammy Awards red carpet.
The most discussed accessory of the moment is in fact the Glass Swipe Bag by Coperni x Heven.
Collaboration
We are talking about a collection of hand-made glass bags, the result of the collaboration between the Parisian brand Coperni and Heven, the newborn glass brand, based in New York, which quickly aroused the interest of the fashion industry, thanks to a playful and kitsch style.
The realization
The glass version of the iconic Swipe Bag is the product of a month's work in search of the most suitable technique for its realization.
The thickness of the material prevented the use of traditional blowing methods, replaced by the use of an air tube. The glass was then drilled and opened with scissors to create the internal "pocket".
Between surrealism and functionality
Seemingly impractical, the Glass Swipe Bag is a fascinating piece, which connects fashion, art and craftsmanship, in a key that we would dare to define surrealist.
And it turns out to be multifunctional. From bag to vase to weapon, as the creators ironically; the glass bag arouses clamor because of its provocative essence: one eccentric fragility, which immediately granted it the status of it bag.
An it bag for it girls
A resounding success, also signed by the notoriety of its models. Supermodel Gigi Hadid presented it during the fashion show for the fall-winter 2022 collection, held as part of the last Paris Fashion Week. The transparent model of the Glass Swipe Bag, with the handle embellished with 'devil horns', has recently conquered even Kylie Jenner. The young influencer and entrepreneur showed off the bag as part of the outfit for the promotion of the next TV series dedicated to her family.
Protagonist at the Grammys
The Glass Swipe Bag was even the brightest star of the Grammy Awards night. In fact, she appeared three times on the red carpet, on the arm of the singers Tinashe and Doja Cat. The first preferred a soft red version, with the glass to recall the sheen of the pink dress. The second opted for a shaded blue variant, perfectly combined with the transparent dress, in the same shades. The singer of "Say so" then replied by choosing, for the change of dress, the version worn on the catwalk by Gigi Hadid.
The charm of countertrend
Launch date and price have not yet been formalized. Meanwhile, the Glass Swipe Bag is causing great excitement among fashion aficionados. The reason? The choice of this material reverses the main purpose of the bags, that of concealing their contents. The it bag of the moment, on the contrary, aims to promote the content same. The transparency of glass therefore opens up new marketing and product placement opportunities.
Brands and influencers are warned. In case they still don't know it's officially theYear of Glass.
