French designer Cooperni has crafted a bag from NASA's silica aerogel material.
Introduction:
NASA's Silica Aerogel Material Used to Create Handbag: Utilized for capturing dust in space and as a protective layer on Mars rovers, the material is now being repurposed for fashion.
Key Features:
This bag, made from the lightest solid material in the world, weighs only 33 grams, slightly more than the weight of six A4 size pages.
Durability and Design:
Though appearing delicate, Cooperni claims the bag can easily bear the weight of a user's iPhone.
Air Swipe Bag:
Cooperni shared an image of the semi-transparent bag on Instagram, dubbing it the "Air Swipe Bag." According to the post, the bag comprises 99% air and 1% glass.
User Concerns:
However, social media users raised several questions regarding its practical use. One user questioned its capacity and durability, while another wondered if it could be used as an everyday bag.
