The luxe Air Swipe handbag is created from a material developed for NASA missions

Amazingly, the bag weighs only 31 grams. It is made of silica aerogel, the structure of which is riddled with trillions of air-filled channels. This aerogel was dubbed “the lightest substance in the world” in the ’90s. NASA called this substance “smoke”, and the developers of the bag and ordinary users in social networks stated their rightness.
Despite its extremely light weight and “airiness”, the bag turned out to be very strong. It is able to withstand a weight exceeding its own in 4000 times. In addition, it is not afraid of temperatures up to 1204 degrees Celsius. The same material is used to insulate the components of modern Mars rovers.
