Remember that 16.7-pound meteorite discovered in Antarctica? It might be more interesting than you think, or at least in the form of a Coperni Meteorite Bag. The French accessories brand wanted to combine archaeology, design, classic and primitive art into an unusual fashion piece, resulting in a 9 x 12 x 23 cm bag that weighs a hefty 4.4-pounds empty.
Each Coperni Meteorite Bag is allegedly handmade with meteorite fragments sourced from different places and could take up to 6-weeks to make. How much will one of these set you back? At least $43,000 USD, more or less depending on the quality of meteorite fragments used. Should you have any second thoughts after purchasing one, the company states that there are no refunds due to its handmade nature, which means you may see some surfacing on online reseller websites.
