Coperni has never been shy about mixing fashion with forward-thinking tech. This season, they’re bridging nostalgia and novelty once more by designing a Tamagotchi take on their signature Swipe Bag—a nod to the early-2000s digital pet craze that feels both retro and undeniably right-now.
This pint-sized concept bag flashes back to the pocket-sized phenomenon of a generation raised on pixelated pets, while still channeling Coperni’s future-focused energy. It’s reminiscent of the label’s previous ventures, including a handbag that plays CDs and pieces crafted from literal space rocks. Although this playful Swipe remix is unlikely to arrive in stores anytime soon, it’s more than a passing gimmick. Like everything Coperni does, it points to a brand that keeps pushing the conversation forward.
All of this fits seamlessly with Coperni’s ongoing story. Founded in Paris by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, the house has carved out a niche by embracing experimentation, from the runway to online hype. While rumors swirl about whether we’ll see this Tamagotchi handbag on the streets, the mere idea signals that Coperni keeps a finger on the pulse of what’s buzzing—and they’re not afraid to have fun with it.
